Doctor Date

This was more of a blind date with a doctor I've never met before. My doctor is gone this whole week for Thanksgiving so I saw another doctor in the practice. She was very nice at least. =) 

I didn't gain any weight this week... holla! =)

On a not-so-good note, my blood pressure was high. =( I'm pretty sure this is the first time it's ever been high in my life - total surprise. My bp always tends to run on the low side if anything. During pregnancy it's ran around 115/60. Today it was 150-something over 100. Yikes. I hadn't even been doing anything this morning. I've had a headache the past few days and I had a quick vision issue yesterday but I thought those were due to coughing attacks. Who knows. They had me lay on my side for quite a while then checked it again... still high... so they sent me to have blood work done. She was hoping it would give them a better idea of what might be causing it. Unfortunately it's a long weekend and I haven't heard from anyone yet. Sigh. I guess I'll just take it easy this weekend and try to check my bp every now and then. 

As for the baby, the heart rate was 147. I'm dilated to 2.5 cm this week, still 90% effaced, and baby is still at zero station (ie: super-stinkin'-low). We're just hanging in there! =) 

Enjoy the heck out of Thanksgiving!! We will and we certainly have tons to be thankful for!
