Good news! I don't have Gestational Diabetes!!!
Bad news... I've got high blood pressure.... :(
Went in for a checkup today (also to get the results of my 3 hour glucose test) and my anxiety was relieved when the nurse told me my test was normal. Then the Dr. wanted my blood pressure taken again and my anxiety level began to rise right back to where it was. When it was all said and done, I was sent straight to the hospital to monitor me and baby. I can say that was NOT how I thought I'd be spending my afternoon without David!!
Got the royal treatment. My own room, my own fetal heart monitor, my own bed... Also got another ultrasound out of the deal and some cute new profile pictures of baby (he has his daddy's nose). The tech said that he is still DEFINITELY a boy and even said that he has some hair! Makes me anxious to meet him, then I think of all the work it's going to be, so I can wait a bit longer I think. After a few hours of monitoring, Dr. decided to let me go home. My blood pressure had come down to a safe level and baby's heart rate was good. Haven't been put on bed rest... yet. But I have been told to take it easy and will see the Dr. again in a week.

Awwwww.....Look at the cute lil' face. He does look as if he has his daddy's nose. (haha) That is so cute. I'm so excited to meet him, too! I still have yet to meet lil' David. When I do, I will get the pleasure of meeting both additions to the family. It is so wonderful how things have turned out for the two of you. I share your story with everyone I know. It just sends chills through me. God bless y'all.
Isn't pregnancy just awesome! Man you've got to milk those extra ultrasounds for all they are worth!
