We got to see the doctor fairly early this morning with very little wait time. It was extremely nice. 🙂
My oldest son got on my last nerve this morning. I won’t go into the disgusting details of my morning with him, but he raised my blood pressure up a good bit compared to what it normally is. I did good at keeping my cool with him, but obviously it was an effort. Since my blood pressure was so high, the doctor is now running tests to rule out preclampsia. I do declare if it isn’t one thing, it’s another.
We also have to keep track of my urine for 24 hours, and it has to be kept in the fridge…How gross is that??? I do declare I’ve never been tested as much as I’ve been tested throughout this pregnancy!!
We got to do another ultrasound today. Zeva wasn’t interested in waking up and playing at all!! She was active until we got in the room, and then she just must of decided it was nap time. She was literally curled up with her hands curled up under her chubby cheeks sleeping. It was adorable, but it didn’t make for a fun ultrasound like the last one was. She’s growing right on track though. 🙂 She looks so cute. She has my nose (all my kids do!) and Del’s lips. She even has hair on her head already. It still amazes me how much she’s grown already. This has been by far the most interesting pregnancy for me because I’ve literally got to see her in almost every stage of this pregnancy.
I joke around and say, she’s my last one and she knows it, so she’s making darn certain I have much of the pregnancy experiences as possible. I’m trying to laugh about all of these road blocks and stressful events. I know she’s healthy and growing exactly like she’s suppose to. I’m just not certain why the doctors are having a hissy fit over every little detail. However, they are just doing their jobs and making sure that Zeva and I are healthy. That’s exactly what I want!! So, I am praising them for their full attention to details. It just makes it a constant worry. However, I don’t worry (as much as possible) because I know God is in control!!
So, I’m doctor free until Tuesday if all goes well. 🙂

I hear ya! I had to do the dreaded 24-hour test three times with my last pregnancy. I was within 5 points of preeclampsia several times, and had to keep repeating. Not fun. I did love how the OB cheerily suggested the cooler as a solution for traveling during test day. Really? If there’s one thing worse then the refrigerator 24 hr test, it’s collecting at church and lugging around a cooler all day! No thanks, I’ll just stay home!
My pregnancy ended up being perfectly fine…hopefully all will be well for you, too! Take care of yourself. 🙂
