07-2-2012 - 21 Week Appointment

My mood while writing this blog: pregnant =)

=21 Week Appointment=

I am officially high risk

Even though I was in the begining considered more @ risk I wasn't considered high risk

My blood pressure was 150/? and they did not like that at all so I have to go to a high risk doctor next week and get another ultrasound to make sure my blood pressure isn't depriving my baby from nutrients and he is growing properly.

Towards the end I will be having non-stress tests-he either said twice a week or once a week I can't really remember.

And I will not be going past 39 weeks and they would perfer to induce me so I can be monitored the entire time but we will have to see what my body wants

I have I believe gained a total of 6lbs-only 1 lb from my last appointment to this one.

Cravings: Steak, baked potato, cooked veggies, sushi, and milk.

I am still wearing my regular pants and most of my tshirts still but I feel the time is coming for maternity clothes soon.

I feel SO much better than I was feeling =))

My back is the only thing that aches but otherwise I feel really good! Sleep is getting a little more productive with my belly growing and the getting up to pee.

My hubs has been gone for a little over a month now for work and it is starting to take a toll on me emotionally. I just want him here to do baby things with me and see my belly grow and help out with our son and the dogs. It is nice because he is making good money being out of state but then again I just want him here with me. We are suppose to be looking for a house to buy before this baby comes but with him being gone I just have NO desire to start looking without him so it sucks because I know we need to start looking but I just don't feel like it without him. This should be OUR decision together as this will be our first home and he isn't here to help me.

He will be flying in this weekend but leaving Monday probably for another month or so. Just sucks that I am probably going to have to start the search on my own because this baby is coming sooner than later.

I feel a little overwhelmed about finding a house but I know I really need to start looking and trying to find one at least and get the process going so we aren't stuck in another rental for a year and we can just be in our own house. BUT we will see...things usually work out.

18 weeks and counting down until boy #2 makes his debut!!
