Rough Day... Possible start of preeclampsia!
Hey Everyone! I just wanted to update you on what's been going on with me. I haven't been feeling so great the past few days. I took my blood pressure this morning and it was 141/80! I about freaked out! So, I relaxed and thought it would go back down and it was still 145/76 an hour later.
Later in the day I ended up running to Walmart with my friend, Stefanie, to get baby shower favors for my baby shower this coming Sunday. Well, while we were there I started to get dizzy and she had me take my blood pressure there to check on it. Well, that time it was 147/87! So, I called my doctor and of course they wanted to see me immediately! I started crying in the middle of Walmart and poor Stef was trying to get me to calm down. LOL!
So, at the doctors office my blood pressure was still high. I did the urine sample which was negative for protein...good sign. They had me lay on my left side for 25 minutes. When they checked it again... it was 117/70. Which is awesome! My doctor comes in and she is worried about me and said she wants to be overly cautious that I'm not developing preeclampsia. :( So, I go in Wednesday morning for my glucose test and several other blood tests to check for preeclampsia. I also have to do a 24-hour urine collection and I'm on bedrest! Fun Fun Fun! It's so scary! I'm just praying so hard that this little boy is doing okay and that he comes when he's ready and not because I've developed preeclampsia. We have another appointment Monday morning to get the test results and I guess we'll go from there.
Keep us in your prayers!
Hugs,
Ashley

Wonderful Birthday & Sneak Peek at Baby Grant
***Both Legs and feet crossed at the ankles in front of his face!***
***Grant Yawning!****
Happy Wednesday, Friends! :o)
Well, I had a perfect birthday yesterday. It all started at 9:30am when we had a 3D/4D ultrasound. We got to see our baby boy again. He looks perfect and we got some great pictures and little video clips (which are above). I think he might have my nose, but over all... I think he's going to look like his daddy! :o) Guess we'll find out in a couple of months. LOL! My mom & little sister (she's almost 22 & in Pharmacy school...not so little any more) were able to join us for the ultrasound. Which was really nice since it was my birthday. Then last night Stephen's mom & dad brought over a cake & ice cream to celebrate my birthday. I just love them to pieces. It was a great 26th birthday!!! :o)
Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures and video!
Hugs,
Ashley

99 MORE DAYS!! (6/9/09)
OMGosh! Only 99 more days until our due date! What an amazing milestone in my opinion. When I found out that we were pregnant again... I couldn't even imagine making it to 99 days or the 3rd trimester. I feel so blessed and thankful that God has given us this little boy.I'm getting bigger & bigger...which makes it hard to get out of chairs and bed these days. My feet swell on 90 degree days & heartburn kicks in at 3am most mornings. LOL! But, to feel him kick and flip is the most amazing feeling in the world. One that I hope every woman has the chance to experience.
I will be considered full term in only 11 more weeks! We can make it! I keep telling myself that daily! Well, here's to 99 more days! Praying that it goes fast & we don't hit many bumps along the way!
Hugs,
Ashley
