Ugh, Yesterday was not fun. I went in to the doctors for my regular weekly appointment, and I asked Andrew to meet me there *thank goodness* because I dont really like to go by myself, its boring lol. I went in, did all of the routine nonsense, did my urine test, then went in too have my blood pressure taken, yikes, When they took it on my left arm the nurses kind of looked at each other and freaked out a bit, and switched arms thinking that maybe it was a mistake but...It wasnt. My blood pressure was 149/102, scary! So, after that they didnt say anything they just put all 132 pounds of me on the scale *sadly that number was even more scary to me*. Then they sent me to the normal room to wait for the doctor....While we were sitting there I over heard my Doctor on the phone, She had called Labor and Delivery...I crossed my fingers hoping that it wasnt for me. SADLY...she walked into my room, looked at us and said, its nice to see you BUT...Im sending you over to labor and delivery right away, she said "you normally have the blood pressure and heart rate of a well fit athlete, but today...you are kind of scaring me"...its always pleasant to hear a doctor say that you are scaring them right?!?...So with that, I made my regular appointment for the following week....and we marched our butts over to LBD, we only got lost about twice on the way there though haha. But anyways, I went in, got situated in my room, was hooked up to all of the monitors. Evey sounded great, thankfully this time she didnt get the hiccups so her bump bump bump wasnt screeching down the hallways again like last time. They came in and drew about 6 things of blood, made me do another pee test, and monitored my blood pressure for a few HOURS...it stayed high the entire time I was there but thankfully went back down into the double digits instead of the 100's!!! Then they told me I could go home, but I had to do a 24 hour urinalysis *(oh joy). So now until 620 tonight, I have to pee into these two huge orange jugs and keep it in an ice bath, then bring it back to the lab this evening...FUN STUFF. Getting up every hour on the hour to pee is already annoying enough, but now it takes me about 10 minutes each time because I have to put the little bowl in the potty, measure it, dump it in the jug, put the jug back on ice, clean out my bowl and attach it back to the toilet...WHAT ON EARTH...Im glad this is only for a day! haha But anyways...The doctor just told me I am now on a strict diet, just to see if that will help with my blood pressure...and She is considering bed rest, FUN! Just when I thought time was going by pretty fast because I was staying busy...I now have to slow down (while Im feeling AWESOME by the way) and lay in bed all day...booo hooo. At least Evey is doing well...she flipping and pumping away in there. Im glad she is doing well, I would do anything to make sure she comes out healthy, but she could cut her mama some slack!!!
Alright well Im done ranting for the second day in a row....IS IT APRIL YET?!?!!?
Until Next Time
