Today was my follow up appointment because of my high blood pressure. They've officially diagnosed me with PIH - Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. They weren't too concerned with today's BP, though it was just about as high as the last one. I showed them the log of BP's that I had, and he was pleased. I am to continue monitoring my BP (daily and with any headaches/signs/symptoms) and then notify him if the diastolic raises above 90 mmHg. Thankfully, it hasn't hit that point - it's been close a few times, but hasn't hit it. I showed him the cat bite that I got yesterday and he said it all looked fine. He just said to watch for any signs of an infection. I go back in 3 weeks (better than 2, but still not back up to the 4 weeks I was at) and if I have any problems with pain, I'm to call him ASAP (I guess pain in your back isn't completely normal - I figured it came with the territory). It wasn't as though it came in intervals or anything of that nature. Oh well. They measured the baby's heartrate - though he doesn't listen as long as I would like him to listen.
In other news, I won the auction for the crib set I wanted! It should be here within the week... I didn't win the light (scroll down) but I'm sure I will find another one like it before the baby comes - which seems to be in mid-late February I keep getting told, despite the fact that my due date isn't until March 19. But as long as she/he is healthy, I'll be happy.
