February 16, 2001
23 weeks, 2 days
I guess I'm due for an update. I called my doctor on Monday morning. I told her I was feeling a little swollen in my hands and that my blood pressure was higher. On my way home from Baylie's dance class Monday I stopped at Eckerds to do my blood pressure again and it was 130/92. My nurse decided to have me come in and be checked after all the pain I was having Friday and the other warning signs. My urine was fine. she sent it out for culture and it came back normal yesterday. Then, can you believe it, my blood pressure was 110/66. It seems like all these things happen and when I get to the doctor it's over. I certainly don't want anything to be wrong, but it's frustarting. I feel like I'm crying wolf or something.
Kirt felt the baby move this week. She's been moving sooo much lately. We've tried to let her daddy see and feel her since then, but she's a little stinker. She'll be just like her big sister! That's fine with me. I like my daughters to have a little spunk!
My next appointment is March 1st. I can't believe I'm almost 6 months! Wow! Time has really been flying by!
