Peri appointment 7/1

Well wasnt my best appointment yet but at least Bryce is doing well!! He is measuring a week behind, he is 1lb 14oz but they dont feel it is anything to worry about. BUT my blood pressure was through the roof, 150/100...i have had one h*ll of a week, you better believe it was high!!!!!!!! but they made me buy a home cuff and i took it when i got home and it was 128/75 so, its got to just be the stress of the drs. I was meeting my new Dr today and right before i pulled up, Jason called and said he couldnt make it, plus they moved and i got lost....its been a rough week!! ANYWHO, i now have to go back once a week for the rest of my pregnancy, oh yay, 50 bucks a visit, FUN!!!!! They took blood to make sure im not developing toxemia, PLEASE PRAY IM NOT!!!!!!! And they want me drink MORE WATER!!!! my fluids were at 8 again so they said MORE MORE MORE. But other then all of that, Bryce is growing perfectly and everything is functioning like it should!! They said the cord is beautiful and the flow is perfect, His little heart is working perfectly, HB was 158. And she said that he is a little mover and it was a great thing to see him moving so much. Other then being a week smaller then he should (which i am thinking its God's way of helping me out a bit, i have NO hips and they dont seem to be getting too much wider) he has to fit through there somehow =) everything is great with the baby!!

I think that was it. I did get to go and get a free foot massage at the new spa afterwards, it was AMAZING!! She said come back next week too and ill get another. They just opened and are trying to get their name out so they are offering free massages to all patients. It was nice!!!!!!!!!!!

i posted before and after photos of the nursery....

I'm in the same boat with the baby being small....I'm 31 weeks and the baby is measuring 16 days behing.  This is scary as heck and you have every right to worry because thing can and do go wrong.   It sounds like they're monitoring you, which is good!!   I think we're paying about $300 to $400  a month between all my prescriptions and copays for this pregancy.  I go in twice a week for antenatal testing and I'm being charged for copays thru the nose, I feel for you!!   It is irritating.   Do daily kick counts!!

Hang in there!!  And pray......and drink your water.

LOL at not having hips and the baby not able to fit. I think about that all the time, if the baby will fit.   Im glad that he is doing well, and you dont have to much longer to go, we are almost there, just hang on, and as they said, DRINK DRINK DRINK.

You are in my prayers.

He may just want to be a little peanut. Good luck sweetie, you are in my prayers. (Don't feel too bad my little guy is measuring small too but they don't want to check with u/s yet).

I wouldn't worry too much about the measurments...babies grow differently, Bryce will be just fine! I know this week has been tough but YOU HAVE TO RELAX, Missy!
