90 Days and Counting....

First off, all you fellow readers, so sorry I did not update after the doctor last week.  So many of you had called, sent text, etc. that I just forgot.

The doctor was very pleased with my blood pressure when we returned.  It was 126/80, so still a little high for where they want it in pregnancy, but definitely not skyrocketing, like it was.  We are just going to continue monitoring it for now and we will go from there.
But, NO preeclampsia right now, which is what we were most concerned with.  Again, they will continue to monitor.

You, sweet girl, were kicking up a storm.  While the nurse was getting your heart rate on the Doppler, you were kicking the Doppler.  I know, it WAS cold!  

For right now, we ask everyone just keep praying that my blood pressure maintains at a safe level.  I can feel when my blood pressure is rising, and usually take that as a que to REST! 
During all the spouts of morning sickness (7 months and going strong), I have busted a blood vessel in my eye...you would think it was a main artery or something...I will spare you pictures for those with weak stomachs. Hopefully within two weeks, the white of my eye will be WHITE again..
Today at work, my eye started to feel "wet" and the blood was seeming to fill up again. 
I left work to come home and rest, called the doctor, they explained it is normal with the persistent throwing up and with high blood pressure, so I am figuring my blood pressure must have been rising!  All those last minute Halloween shoppers must have been getting to me! 
Doctors' office said it was okay, should clear up within 14 days, and to call them to come in, if the rising blood pressure (refilling up with blood) seems to continue.   So, we could definitely use continued prayers for stabilization in this area.

Other than that,  we are getting super excited.  I go through little panic modes (which probably do not help the BP) that you will be here within the next 13 weeks.  We are in our last week of 2nd trimester.  I remember way back in the beginning, your daddy said he felt like it would be right around the corner when we hit November 1st....that's TOMORROW!!!! 

We love you sweet girl!  You have been so active lately and we love feeling you! 
LESS THAN 90 DAYS!!!!!
