Yesterday, I had a check up w/ Dr. R. Everything went great. My BP was 110/70 and I had no weight gain... so still standing at 14 lbs total. Corbin's heartrate was 158 and he is still measuring right on track! So far, so good. Each time we get good news it brings us a little closer to meeting our precious little bundle of joy!
I hadn't planned on being off work before the baby was born... seems kind of pointless to me... but my husband seems to think otherwise. He thinks I need to take off sometime after the beginning of the year and try everything I can to keep myself healthy. It's something I guess we are discussing... Could you pray we make the right decision? I don't have a strenuous job- I sit at my desk all day and it keeps my mind occupied, but I do see where he (and everyone else it seems) is coming from too... I'm just not the type of person to sit around and do nothing for weeks! I fear it might make me crazy! lol. If my BP decides to do anything crazy then I guess I will for sure. I had a couple high readings, but then took it again and it was fine. I told Dr. R about it yesterday and she said as long as it goes down w/ the second reading then I'm okay, but if it doesn't then she wants to know right away. I guess you could say- we are all a little on edge.
I am so excited for Christmas- I love this time of the year. I know we have a lot going on the next couple of weeks so hopefully that will speed this up! At the most we have 8 1/2 weeks 'til we meet this little guy and I absolutly can't wait to kiss his face!
I noticed a knot on Brycen's neck yesterday, I think I'm turning into a hypochondriac or something.... but I took him to the Dr. this morning. It is swollen lymph nodes- he said probably left over from his body fighting off infections over the past couple of months... He wasn't concerned and just said to watch them- but this momma is always worrying!
I need to get another belly picture- it's been a couple of weeks, maybe we'll try to do that tonight!

I feel for you...I'm a worry wart, too. Just remember, you are all in God's hands :) I'll be praying that your bp stays down where it should and that B's little knot clears up quickly. I've actually had a small one on my neck too and i think it's due to all the sinus infections and stuff I've had lately. You remind me so much of myself!! Haha, take care and have a great day!
glad your appt went well! I am jealous that you have only gained 14 pounds! I am up 20!
Glad all is well. Glad you're not worrying so much you don't want to work! Ha. You know your body more than anyone else. Drink lots of water and stay healthy. It may be good to take off that last week before to rest and spend time with B. And you could visit me :)
Oh girl we are so much alike! I have been debating taking off before as well! Just remember YOU & BABY come first! Don't worry about what work is going to say...I bet ya they worry about you just the same! I have that trouble sometimes :)
I am praying for you every day! I will pray you don't get ANY high numbers, so that you can just ENJOY the end of the pregnancy =) Love you girl!!
What did Dr. R say about taking off early? I'll be praying that if you need to take off early that you'll enjoy your time off and it will go by quickly. :)
I'm glad your appointment went well! Sorry to hear about Brycen, I know I would be worried too.
