I'm very excited to say i've been having many more good days lately!! I went back to the Dr. last thursday, and my blood pressure was 98/60! I've been able to drive again and just feel much more like myself. I have been instructed to drink a minimum of 96 oz of water a day to keep my BP up and to stay hydrated so i'm basically just chuggin away:)
Heartburn/acid reflux is of the devil, I have decided. It has tried to creep in as my new "joy-stealer" but so far we're not letting it get in too far. Protonix has helped and watching what/when I eat....as well as sleeping practically sitting up. I struggled with acid reflux some at this point in the pregnancy with Addisyn too. Doctors' say it is mainly because my stomach and esophagus are so "torn up" (my word choice, not theirs) after all the initial nausea and vomiting that it just needs some time to heal. Hopefully, it will heal up quickly and i'll be back to eating hot wings and chunks of garlic in no time.
Prayer Request: Thursday I have an appointment to see an endocrinologist about my thyroid. This is an appointment that has been set since right after my hospital stay due to some abnormal thyroid scans. I believe that we serve a big God who has everything in control and I KNOW in my heart that this is not going to be a big deal. I experienced some similar abnormalities with my first pregnancy and it all regulated back out on its own. I'm going to the appointment though to do the responsible thing and see this out to the end. I truly believe this is not going to amount to anything and I would appreciate it if you (anyone who may see this this week) would pray and believe for that as well.
On a happier note, June 22nd we find out if Baby Numero Dos is a boy or girl! I'll have to post a vote thing so all 3 of you who read this (basically my mom) can vote on if you think it's a boy or girl:)
On a silly pregnancy note, I think my sister got totally grossed out by me yesterday...and probably rightfully so. Patricia and I split a sub from Jersey Mike's...and yes, I know deli meat is very controversial, but I HAD BEEN WANTING THAT SUB FOR A WEEK! It was amazing. And you know what my favorite part was!?!? The mayonnaise! I told Patricia "This sandwich makes me just want to scoop a tub of mayonnaise into my mouth!" She rolled her eyes at me;)
*UPDATE* I chowed on my mom's chicken salad tonight. I'm TOTALLY on a mayonnaise kick;)
