Weight - Surprisingly, up 4lbs in 4 weeks
BP - 106/62
Heartbeat - 145 bpm, beating well!
Instructions from doctor - Come back in 4 weeks. In 4 weeks I have to do the glucose test (to see if I have gestational diabetes) and some more blood work. Also scheduled our birthing classes
Over all - Things are still going well! 2 weeks ago I had a cold.. then last week I woke up on Tuesday morning unable to move my head at all, my neck and upper back were completely “frozen”.. and I was in excruciating pain. I went to work on Tuesday and had to work all day with back and neck spasms. It was awful. I went in for a massage on Tuesday night, which didn’t do crap so Wednesday morning I went to Urgent Care to see if they could give me something for it. Wednesday I was still completely “frozen” and couldn’t move my head, which made driving interesting to say the least.. The doctor at Urgent Care said I had Acute Torticollis and gave me a 6 day course of predisone and some Tylenol 3’s for the pain. I’m slowly getting better from that. I can finally move my head, but my neck/shoulders are still fairly sore and stiff. A hot tub would be WONDERFUL right now.
This weekend I went to Babies R Us and bought some cute clothes for the baby since I had a coupon :D I also went to Bed Bath & Beyond and ordered this baby bedding. I was able to use my 20% off coupon, so I got a good deal on it!
That’s about all that’s going on. Thursday marks 24 weeks! 16 weeks to go and we’ll have a baby.. crazy times!
