So my doctor's appointment went very well yesterday! My blood pressure is back down and in the normal range, it was actually a little low. I passed another kidney stone! Horrah, well for those of you that didn't have to stay up all night in agony, that's a hoorah! Doctor checked little E out and said everything looked good. He also said in about a month, we may do another ultrasound to get an idea of a projected weight. I freaked a bit because at the last ultrasound they told me my child's head was measuring 10, yes 10 days ahead.....so pardon me for freaking out. He tried to reassure me that everything was well within the normal range and I measure 32 cm, which is again in the normal range. I have only gained 11 pounds (4 in the last month...erg) in 7 months so they are happy with that. Glucose test came back within normal ranges as did the hemoglobin test.
When I asked if it was ok to travel to Michigan, he said it was fine, but this is my last opportunity. I need to be super careful and drink plenty of fluids and make sure to get out and walk around as to avoid any blood clots. The only other concern he had was that I could pass another stone, which would put us in a bit of a predicament not knowing where the nearest hospital would be if it got that bad.
The doctor I saw this time had quite the sense of humor, he went through my medical history with me since getting pregnant and was like wow, you've had nausea/vomitting for 5 months, lost 30 pounds, had kidney stones, high blood pressure and he says, "what's next?" I was like hopefully nothing but a healthy little girl.
I am soo eager for Christmas to be over so that we can get settled in our new house. We also start labor and delivery classes two days after moving, and then before you know it, I will get to hold my little girl in my arms!
Jeff and I will be celebrating our 2nd Wedding anniversary on Monday. I can't believe it!! We have been together for almost 7 years and married for 2. I love that man more than anything and thank my lucky stars every day that I get to spend with him. I can't imagine my life without him and I can't wait to see him hold his little girl :)
This is fabulous news Kim!!! I can't wait to see you and in a couple months pictures of baby E!!! You and Jeff will be great parents; though I'd say you already are. Have safe travels and an uneventful next 70 days!!! <3
