24 Weeks 2 Days

Today's appointment was uneventful...which was nice for a change. Heartrate was in the high 140's and it didn't seem like the baby wanted to be found for a few moments - talk about nervewracking :-P Weight is great, still only up 3 lbs total... BP was better (136/88) and there was only a trace of protein in my urine. We got orders for another ultrasound which is tentatively scheduled for Friday the 2nd. If they get a cancellation before the Friday afternoon appointment, they will call me ASAP and let me know. :-)

Darn Blood Pressure

22 Weeks

Today's appointment went relatively well until we got to the blood pressure portion... 136/92. Whoops. The nurse and the Dr were quite unhappy. Baby's heartrate is measuring wonderful (was fluctuating between 155 and 165) and the Dr thinks that based on that it will be a girl... Because of my blood pressure they will be scheduling another U/S within the next month (it gets scheduled at my next appointment which is in 2 weeks)...and hopefully then we'll be able to tell if it's a boy or girl. Though, as the Dr mentioned to Scott, either way the sex is his fault :-).

Other than that, a relatively uneventful visit... I have to drink more fluids (which we knew), but there's no protein in my urine so that's a great sign.
