I am now going to the doctor every week for my check ups. Which is a good thing but it also keeps me on my guard as well . Every week I know I have to step on that scale and then be faced with the dreaded blood pressure cuff... Everything has been going well with my visits. I had one occasion a couple of weeks ago where my blood pressure spiked and I was threatened with hospitalization an bed rest. My doctor ordered all blood be drawn from body in entirety for testing it seemed. Thankfully, all tests once again came back with normal ranges and all organs functioning as they should. My blood pressure was back to normal and has reamained normal ever since that one appointment. I am just having to take it easy and rest on my left side when I am not working or have to be out an about.
My appointment this morning went well. Blood Pressure was good and weight was ok. Only thing this time was I am measuring now a little larger than the norm SO we will see how she progresses and grows in the upcoming weeks. My tummy for the last 4 - 5 days it seems has been unusually sore and I have not felt too well. I have felt like I have been doing 100 stomache crunches everyday. I have given in to the big tub we have an have started soaking everyday about 20 minutes. This seems to help and relax me. Can't help but wonder now if all this is because "Little Bit" decided to take a growth spurt... Doctor is not worried at all and says she just may be a bigger baby than what we have been thinking. I know this will make Jimmy very happy as he has deemed himself to have "ESPN" haha as he says and predicts a 8.5 - 9 lbs & about 22+ inch little girl.
I did my last blood withdrawl hopefully this morning which was my iron test. I actually went and did this by myself and without my security blanket AKA as "ice pack" and also without Jimmy (which was an absolute first) The ladies at Quest Diagnostics are so proud of me and impressed with my progression from being terrified to being able to come in an give blood on my own without that ice pack and that sweet big man that always comes with me - she laughed an said that I had grown up now an was a big girl now !
