A great doctor's appointment today! Everything is on track. My blood pressure is back down where it should be. I'm at 32 weeks now, officially starting my 8th month! :)

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! (Chris, you have to wait until next year!)
Just after my last post, the pain eased up a lot. We're back to the theory that either my gall bladder was just being squished, or that I had seriously pulled a muscle in the same spot. In any case, it's mostly better now.
In other news, Chris has a new apartment and I'm going to keep living with my current roommate, Daniel. So my address will stay the same, and you'll need to touch base with Chris to get his new one. His apartment is really nice and has a pool! He'll be moving in by tomorrow. He new job is working out really well, and they made him the Team Leader for Austin and San Antonio!!! Congrats, Chris!!!!
It's time for me to post new pictures, hope to get some taken this week. Keep checking back!

All my tests came back normal. This is good news, of course, but it's left us all puzzling as to why I have so many gall bladder symptoms if nothing's wrong with it. In any case, I have a doctor's appointment on Wed and we'll check it out further then.

Had the ultrasound this morning to look at my gall bladder. They will report the results to my doc within 24 hours, so I'll let you know when I hear something!

Just came back from the doctor's. Everything is fine with the baby. However, it seems that the constant pain just under my ribs on the right is my gall bladder. Either it's just getting squished by my ever-expanding belly (pressed up against my ribs), or there's a chance that something is wrong with it. They took blood for some tests and I'm getting a special ultrasound on 6/1 to check it out and make sure. Another interesting note is that this may also be causing all this horrible back pain I've been having. It's probably just being squished, and there's nothing to worry about. I'll keep you posted!
Here's an article that has pretty good info: http://sheknows.com/about/look/2082.htm
