I had my first fetal assessment today :)
They are monitoring me a bit more closely due to the fact that my blood pressure is elevated and it's getting so close! Ladies with hypertension have a chance for smaller babies and low birth weights...But not in our case!
Baby is doing just peachy :)
His head is down, he's measuring in the 50th percentile (right on track!), very active (actually surprised the tech with how much he moved) and sucking on his toes! He loves an audience. Anytime the spotlight is on him, I swear this kid moves to make sure people know hes there! Might be a inkling of what's to come. My mom told me that I was a kid that got into everything and Esther told me that Charlie was the same way. So I think I'll have my hands full with this one! Our tech was amazingly wonderful and even gave us free ultrasound pictures! We have one that is him hiding behind the placenta looking straight at us, a great shot of his foot and cute little side profile of his face and get this... it looks like a Celones Nose!!!
I do feel myself getting more tired as the days go on. I find myself sleeping alot but it's OK. It's what I need to do to keep this blood pressure down and this baby healthy, right? Oh and who doesn't like a nap in the middle of the day? Heartburn has been my biggest woe lately, nothing a tall glass of milk wont fix though:) And that means lots of hair, or so I'm told!
Now its a fetal assessment and a visit with my obgyn every week until this baby comes! So I'll see baby again next Wednesday at 3pm!
