Baby doctor appts are now two weeks apart. Had a visit today that didn't go as planned. My blood pressure was high, so they made me lay on my left side and relax, then take it again to see if it goes down. Well, luckily it did and she sent us home, but not before she took some bloodwork just to be sure everything is a-ok. Doctor is not keen on our pending trip to Jax this weekend - she doesn't want me more than two hours away from the hospital from this point forward. She said we can go if the bloodwork comes back normal on Friday morning. I love how they tell you that your blood pressure is high, to relax, or they'll send you to the hospital. How the heck is that supposed to help me relax??? Ugh. On the drive, we have orders to stop every two hours to allow me to walk around, because sitting for long periods of time can create blood clots. Guess it will take longer than we thought to get to Jax...This is just a sprinkling of why women should have to wait at least two years between pregnancies...we need time to forget all the crap we go through to create that tiny miracle.
Oh, but she'll be worth it. I can't wait to hold her in my arms. I wish I was already full term so I could hold her tomorrow. I couldn't resist and bought two more outfits today. All the stuff they sell - it's all so cute and PINK!
