Hi Peanut!
Well we had our first appointment today after beginning medication. And WE DID WONDERFULLY! Mommy's blood pressure has been very good since I started taking the medication. JoJean thinks we'll be able to stop coming back weekly if all goes well next week. She said it looks like the medication is doing what it needs to do and that we've caught it early enough that there shouldn't be any further complications because of it. Which is a huge relief to all of us :) Of course we'll continue to monitor the situation to make sure further complications do not come up, but for now we're doing well. But then again, as your mother, I knew you'd be a fighter and help me out with this, you're my baby after all ;-)
I also got to hear your beautiful little heartbeat! Which is perfect of course, 156-160, which is in the normal range. It's the most wonderful sound in the world! I'm only sad that daddy missed it this week.
I also had my blood drawn today for another pre-natal test and received orders for my glucose screen, which we are doing early because of a family history of gestational diabetes.
In the meantime, daddy and I are busy packing up the house so we can get started on making it more suitable for you! We'll be tearing out the bedrooms and making two larger ones instead of three small ones, and we're also going to make the bathroom bigger, which will be wonderful when you get older since I'm convinced you're a little girl! (not that I'll be disappointed if you're a boy!) Daddy and I have everything pretty much ready to start, I just need to pick out a vanity! Choices, choices, choices! I think I enjoy it more when your daddy has more input!
I've picked out quite a few beautiful things for you that we'll be getting over the next few months! I'm very excited to get your opinion on the things (basically if you smile or sleep well in them I'll take that as a sign you like them!).
Well my little Apple (granny smith I hope;-)) lots of love from me and daddy, we'll be talking to you soon (daddy likes to talk to you at night!).

Good Morning Peanut, how'd you sleep last night? Mommy told me that you are going to start making your presence known in the form of "gas bubbles"! Hope she doesn't get confused, I would describe them as butterflies, fluttering in her tummy. You can flutter all you want from here on out.
ReplyDeleteNow mommy's blood pressure is better and she hopefully will be able to relax a little more and enjoy. The good news is that you have a very strong heart beat! Someday I will lay my head on your little bitty chest and listen to it for myself:)
Your new digs are going to be so nice, daddy and mommy have been working hard to make sure your second home is one you will always remember (your first home is mommy's belly and she has made it as comfortable as she can - sorry no windows).
Well now Peanut, mommy calls you a Granny Smith, I would prefer GALA or DELICIOUS, but nevertheless I will eat you up no matter what you are!
Hugs, kisses, skwishes, Grammy
