High Blood Pressure !!!
As many of you know, I have inherited Daddy’s hypertension. I know it can be controlled with diet and excersise, but at this point in my pregnancy, I can not do either of those things. Thursday at my doctors appt my pressure was a little higher than usual with increased swelling in the feet. So the doctor monitored me for awhile in his office and then recommended I go to the hospital. I was a bit scared because he said we may have to deliver earlier than Thursday if my blood pressure does not go down. So off we go to the hospital, my husband and I. Sael is so good, he always tries to go to every appointment and I am very glad he came to this one. I was feeling very scared not knowing what is going to happen.
So at the hospital they took some blood and urine as well as completed another ultra sound. This ultrasound was great, on the othe best ones we have had…we saw her face so nicely! She has the most beautiful almond shaped eyes!! By the end of the afternoon, after laying in the hospital bed most of the morning, my blood pressure finally went below 90, diastolic. That is their most concern, the bottom number. So they send me home and ordered me to strictly stay in bed! UGH!!
I feel as if I have so much to do and such little time to do it!! We finally received the missing part for her crib, but guess what…it was the wrong part!! Ugh…so now my husband is going to have to a Baby R Us to look for that part…or we wait another 2 weeks! Her room is such a mess right now. You all know how perfection and preparedness runs in our family, so you can understand how I am feeling. But at the cost our Samyra’s health, I will not let it get to me. I will just let my husband handle it.
So today all day, I did nothing. Just slept, ate and watched TLC Channel. I learned what not to wear and I saw a couple of c-sections, so I know what I am expecting on Thursday. For those who missed me the last couple of days…I am back. Our internet wifi was down, but my husband fixed it now…so I should be keeping up better with the blogs. Please keep Samy and me in your prayers!
