Don't worry I am still here. We had our county fair last week and I have been busy getting ready for that the past two weeks. Back to normal today until next Tuesday when we leave for South Carolina. A nice vacay just relaxing poolside at my Aunt and Uncle's.
So I had my 16 week checkup during the fair. Not really the best week to check my blood pressure which was up. The Dr. was concerned but my bottom number was still in the normal range so I go back tomorrow to get it checked again. He did start me on some low dose medicine so hopefully it doesn't get any worse. I'm trying not to worry because that will only make things worse. However, hearing the heartbeat never gets old =) and it was nice and strong at 155!
On another note, holy cow I'm 16 weeks! Only 4 short weeks and we get to find out if peanut is a pebbles or bam bam. It still feels surreal at times to think that in January our lives will change forever. I did have plenty of offers of babysitters during the fair next year for me. It also made my heart melt to see just how excited my parents are to be grandparents. Not to say they haven't been excited before because they have been but to see them talk to people about it made me smile. I will update tomorrow after my checkup.
County fairs are so much fun! I love looking at all of the crafts, especially quilts. I can't wait to find out gender, my guess is little girl :)
ReplyDeleteI somewhat limited the amount of fair food this year, didn't need to feel like poo the entire week but I did get my fries and they were so yummy!
DeleteOoooh so exciting! Any feeling whether it's a boy or a girl? :-)
ReplyDeleteMatt is convinced boy, I am still on the fence.
DeleteHope that the blood pressure thing was just a reaction to how busy you have been. Sounds like a lot of added stress while preparing/participating in the county fair! How did the fair go? (I'm glad you have a vacation coming up so you can rest and RELAX!!)
ReplyDeleteYay for being 16 weeks!! And yay, YAY for a strong heartbeat again and being able to see Peanut in 4 weeks!! Do you or your husband have a feeling one way or the other (boy vs. girl)?
It was back down yesterday to normal levels so thank goodness. Fair was good, as Matt always says, there is nothing fair about the fair. There was the usual drama but that is to be expected I guess. Matt is convinced peanut is a boy I am still on the fence.
DeleteWelcome back! I cannot believe you will know the sex in 4 weeks! EEEEK! So exciting! Are you guys battling over names yet? :) Glad to hear your survived fair week and have that super relaxing vacay coming up!
ReplyDeleteSeems crazy how fast this has gone. We have the middle names set but we just keep throwing names out there and some are maybes and some definite no's so I guess time will tell.
