My blood pressure continues to be an issue as we thought it would be. I am sick of playing prescription roulette, but know how important it is to keep this under control the best we can. For my sake, and for Nolan's. I am still being monitored by my OB, and a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist. My appointments with the specialist are long, and exhausting. They monitor the baby, to assure he is not stressed, and has good blood flow in and out of his umbilical cord. I will continue to have an ultrasound every month until the end at this point to watch babies weight. A risk of high blood pressure in pregnancy is low birth weight babies, so they watch this very closely to make sure he is growing on track. As of now, he is a little ahead of schedule on weight, so we will take it. Here is a look at the most recent ultrasound from yesterday.
I love this little guy so much. I can't wait to meet him and give him kisses.
As of today I haven't gained any weight from pre pregnancy. I lost a lot at first because I was sick, and just didn't have much of an appetite. I have put back on some of the weight I have lost from the beginning, but I have not caught back up yet. I am very uncomfortable at night. I toss and turn and have to get up a lot. Nolan is most active late at night too, which makes sleeping a little harder. I can not wear my normal pants anymore, so I had to invest in some maternity pants. I crave anything cold. Fruit, veggies, ice cream! I still have a problem getting red meat down, especially if I cooked it, or was around while it was cooking. I love hot and spicys from McDonalds. They are not good for you, but every now and then I will give in and get one... with cheese and tomato. Oh my.
Just under 15 weeks to go til we meet Nolan.
