25 Week Appointment

Yeah yeah I couldn't think of a fun catchy title for this so it's just an update. First of all... we have just 15 weeks left or less depending if we go the whole way. Anyway, it's very exciting and although it seems like we have so far to go still, it also feels like it's been so long already.

Well let me get the update of the appointment done. Everything seems to be going well so far. My blood pressure was 132/70 and my weight was still the same as a couple weeks ago. Which is all good. The baby is still in a breech position which means she still has her head up and her feet down. Which is why I get kicked in the bladder and cervix so much. She's already a dancer! Hehehehe Anyway, her heart rate was in the 160's yesterday too which is great!

So the plan is to go back April 6th and see the doctor again and get an ultrasound to see if the baby is still breech. We'll be 28 weeks then and will also be leaving that night to go to Michigan. Hopefully we'll be able to get a good picture for my father when we see him. I also have to get another 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) to make sure I havent developed Gestational Diabetes. Which I'm a little worried about because for the past week I have been EXTREMELY thirsty. It could be nothing but well... I'm paranoid!! We'll see though, I plan on getting the GTT done on the 5th while I'm at work. Then we'll see what the Doctor has to say when we go there.

Other than all that fun stuff, I will keep complaining about the same things. I'm still sick, still getting wicked bad headaches and lots of pain. I finally got my Maternity Belt in the mail and I tried it on. It is great if I'm going to be walking... so far anyway, not like I've walked all that far. :) However I tried wearing it when I was sitting at work and it digs into my legs and is just plain uncomfortable. So I think I'm going to use it when we are going to be walking more often. It really does help to lift up my belly and support it. It's weird cause I didnt think it would but I guess they made them for a reason!! :)

So I'm sure I'll be back writing more about the same symptoms in the next few weeks so until then...
