Baby Jake Update

I went to the Dr on Monday. My blood pressure was good 110/78. We talked a lot about some of the symptoms I have been having and what our next steps are. I have gained about 6 lbs. so far in this pregnancy, so that is a good thing.

My Dr and I are pretty confident that we will be able to make it to 34 weeks - which is our first milestone - this is the week after Thanksgiving. Every day that he stays in, is better, so we are hoping that the blip in my blood pressure was just a fluke type of thing and things will continue to go well and we can make it well past 34 weeks. However, we will just have to wait and see.

I have really been limiting what I do. It does make me feel bad since I cannot take the girls outside to play in the beautiful dusting of snow that we have. I also have difficulty bending down a lot - so trying to get the girls to pick up after themselves is also a challenge. However, the low key attitude that I have been taking, I think have really helped. I am hoping that it will help me make it well past 34 weeks, but maybe before x-mas - but we will have to wait and see what Jake has in store for us all.
