Doctor update

Well, today was my last full day of work for 2011.  Also, I had my first two week check up on our little man.  I got there and they checked my vitals.  My blood pressure was high again.  Dr. Hermann said not to worry and we would check it at the end of my appointment.

We checked the babies heart rate and it was good.  We talked about what is coming up next in my appointments, and we had to discuss who I was going to use for the remainder of my pregnancy.  I had a ton of questions to ask him about the remainder of the pregnancy and delivery.

After the appointment he asked me to sit for a few minutes to de-stress.  Then we retook my blood pressure it dropped 10 points in 10 minutes.  Dr. Hermann liked that the numbers dropped and so fast, but is concerned that two appointments in a row it has been high, but he was glad it dropped.  So, he wants to see me next week.  We discussed possible bed rest for the next few weeks if next week isn't better.  He said I could be a high stress person, and that isn't good.  I can thank my mother for the high stress....I get it from her....thanks Mom!!! HA! JK!  If it is high next week he is sending me to the hospital for more testing.  He told me not to worry yet, and we will know more next Thursday.

The good news I get to see my little man next week on an ultrasound, and it will be 3D/4D.  I am SOOOO excited!!!!!  Trent and I can't wait to see our little guy.  I wonder who he looks like.

So, doctors orders for the next week....STAY AWAY FROM STRESS!  Should be EASIER after Friday.  Also, driving may need to be eliminated....I am having major road rage issues.
