Update on Baby...

So the past few doctor visits have not been as pleasant....only because my blood pressure went up. It went up high enough that I now have to see my doctor every week to make sure it doesn't go sky high and have to have the baby early.

Luckily, I have a blood pressure monitor at home, so I check it at least twice a day and record it in a nifty App on my iPhone. Thank goodness I have been doing that!! It helps my doctor know that I am actually resting at home and trying my best to take it easy.

I have now been to see him 3 times in the past 2 weeks and my blood pressure readings at the office have stayed consistent...so that is good. The readings are still a little high, but as long as they stay around the same and don't go up, I don't have to go on bed rest. I really don't want to do that again! So I am taking it easy at home, watching my salt intake and drinking TONS of water. It is a bit hard to rest with Taryne running around and wanting ME to do things with her and for her, but I am doing my best. Kyle is a HUGE help with things.

Despite my blood pressure being a little high, EVERYTHING else looks GREAT!!! I am so glad for that! My weight is good (still under the weight I began with), measurements are good, baby movements are good, no protein in my urine (I know, TMI for some, but that is huge considering my blood pressure has been up) and no swelling in my feet or ankles.

Now we just need to get his room ready! We are painting this weekend and since we already have all the basics, as soon as the paint dries, I can set up the room. Yay! Thankfully my parents are coming to help me with the painting. I am ready to see that room transformed and hopefully I will be a little less stressed since I can check the room off my list.

I will post pictures after we get the room done.

Until next time...Gig'em!
