It's late, I'm tired, but I want to get my update posted before I go to sleep and possibly forget things. I had my latest OB appointment today. Things are still okay. My blood pressure was up again, this time a bit higher than last time. It was something like 156/82. When the doctor and I talked about some current stress in my life, he said he was sure that was the reason. He said if it was something more, the bottom number would be higher, but since it is not, he believes it is the stress. So basically it's something that we'll keep an eye on, but combined with my other tests, he's not overly concerned at this time. Nothing I have to worry about checking on before my next 2 week appointment. I did mention that I hadn't felt as much activity over the last couple days, but had some today. He went ahead and hooked me up to the fetal monitor for awhile. That went just fine, she was active and no contractions. So while we kind of have something to watch, it's nothing to be overly concerned about right now. And the baby is fine. My weight was up, but he told me it was water weight, due to the fact I've swelled up in the past 2 weeks. I did get told that I'm supposed to be making more time to take it easy at night, especially to do kick count tests. So I'll have to do less stuff at night and try to find time... sometime to do it. So if I become antisocial and not do things with people, I'm sorry, but I need to be spending more time resting. I'm just not very good at that! My next appointment is on February 6th. We asked about a 4D ultrasound, and we're having one of those that day, too, to check on things! I'm really excited for that.
Time for bed.
