16 almost 17 weeks

On Tuesday I will be 17 weeks - time is going by so quickly. I am posting a little late because I have had another busy week of deadlines and meetings. To say I am ready for a break is an understatement, Thanksgiving can't come soon enough.

So in the mad chaos of last week, I did have to go for another Ultrasound - I know........... lots of Ultrasounds already! At my last doctors appointment my blood pressure was reading a little on the high side! Its not really normal for that to happen to me - but at the same time, its not totally abnormal either. If I am feeling unsure about something when I have a doctors visit, I have been known to get White coat syndrome. However, a higher BP reading when pregnant is a red flag for doctors, irrespective of what a normal reading would be. So the doctor was asking me questions etc, trying to figure out why it might be high. I asked her about this excessive peeing.............. turns out my instinct was correct and it is actually excessive, not just because I am pregnant............... but excessiveness goes with more checking on things. So they had me do a 24 hour urinary analysis to check Kidney function (which came back fine) and an ultrasound to check cervical length (which I should get results this week sometime). The ultrasound was good, baby has grown quite a bit since the last time and seemed quite active :)!.

 



The next Ultrasound will be December 4th for the 20 week anatomy scan. So more pictures will be posted then!

 

Recently I have been having a sneak around on the Internet looking at some baby things. Remember we have no stores up here for me to go window shopping, so I surf the web! I am loving this look below!

Have a Good Week!
