It's been two weeks of taking blood pressure medication. It's working! Working too well actually. My blood pressure at rest was quite low and with activity right about where it should be.... so the doctor is cutting the dose in half with the hopes that it won't drop as low at rest (which will hopefully eliminate some of the nausea, light-headedness and fatigue that came along with the medicine) and will still stabilize the pressure with activity. The tests we have done to make sure baby is happy in there have come back all positive. That is incredibly reassuring to know! From now until birth I get to go to the Childbirth Center for weekly non-stress tests to monitor babies activity, I need to do one more ultrasound to check fluid levels (in about two weeks) and every other week to every week appointments with my doctor. Paul, being unemployed still really stinks, but I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have him around to help with Ryan as I go to all the appointments. It's nice to have a positive spin to the crappy unemployment situation.
My excitement, apprehension and anticipation to see if we are going to give Ryan a brother or sister is growing!
