First a big thank you to Vickey and Phil for visiting this week: spending time with Evan, working on the basement, doing laundry, and just helping like crazy.
Our appointment yesterday was longer than expected but good. We went in and they decided that yesterday was the first day they would start to monitor the heart rates a little more closely with an NST (non-stress test). So I sat hooked up to monitors for about 15 minutes and then saw the doctor. The heart rates moved all over, but very normal. They funny part…for several weeks I have been saying I really do not feel any contractions and the first thing my doctor said was you had no contractions when you were sitting there – I said see, I told you. But anyway…
My weight was good – I have gained about 35 pounds and my blood pressure was fine once I laid down for a little while. It was 130 over something and then once I laid down for a few minutes it dropped to 120/70. So no worries. Our doctor is happy and I go back on monday for another check.
