A Whole Lotta Stuff

Where to start? We had our 24 week visit yesterday, we are actually in our 25th week but with Christmas and our trip to Florida it was pushed back until yesterday. I woke up very early anxious about my glucose test. I also was very nervous about seeing the doctor again that I don't really care for. Austin decided to sit this appointment out which worked out great because my Mama has been dying to check on her grand-daughter. We arrived at my appointment and I did my weigh in and had my blood pressure checked. My blood pressure was 154/80, the nurse said she didn't think that was right and checked it again, this time it was 148/80. The nurse asked me if I had any previous problems with my blood pressure and I assured her I had not. I mentioned that the reason for my anxiety was because of my glucose test. Well the doctor said that it was border line high and told me I had two options. I could either monitor my blood pressure for the next two weeks or go on medication to regulate my blood pressure. I of course chose to monitor it for the next two weeks. The good news is I passed my glucose test yay!!! I asked the nurse after she had taken my blood if she would take my blood pressure again just to ease my mind and she agreed and after she gave me the good news that I passed my test by blood pressure was down to 138/80. She told me to still follow the doctor's orders and I would be back in two weeks for an update. So we go back to the doctor on January 14 and I feel very hopeful that my blood pressure will be back down. My doctor said that this happens often in healthy, pregnant women but I don't want to be medicated.



Now for the fun part - PICTURES

And finally Campbell's room is painted and furniture is in place, YAY! Not finished but we (I am sure Austin loves that) have made a lot of progress.  Austin worked very hard to get Campbell's nursery done for her but for me too.

Emma was very interested and wanted to be in the pictures!
