26wk OB checkup

Everything went really well at our appt today. The doc said Dreycin's heartbeat is very strong and I didnt have any weight gain!!! Only because I have been eating salads, lots of fresh veggies, and protein like steak and chicken:) I also have not been eating sweets, and if i do its a 100calorie pack of something. My blood pressure was 127/90 at the appt, and was around the same yesterday but at this point the doctor does not want to start me on any hypertensive medications he just wants me to carry & take tylenol if i have high blood pressure. He said the point we need to be concerned is when my bp's consistently are in 130's/90's which they aren't right now! for example like preeclampsia would occur with protein in my urine + 150/90-100's blood pressures. Today Derek asked ya know, what he could do in his part to know when something was wrong, the doctor said that we need to monitor fetal movement and then we also have the urine dipsticks at home to check for protein. With lupus preeclampsia can be pretty common (i consistently had protein in my urine the first 16wks of pregnancy)the other part, which was reassuring to Derek due to what we have seen 2couples go through, was that he said over time the studies/statistics have shown that the overall incidence of a stillborn birth are lower in high risk settings due to monitoring the patient more often. Unlike regular patients im already being seen every 2wks! The other huge part was my glucose test, and honestly with the history of diabetes on my dad's side of the family I was a little scared of the outcome....but I PASSED!!! I got a 101, needed a 135 or below to pass! so that was really good news for the day! our next OB appt is august 19th and we have an ultrasound and im so excited to see how big Dreycin has gotten! After our appt today we went to Penn Station subs, which I guess its an east coast thing. I got a philly cheesesteak, which never in my life have I had one or craved one, but this one was really good with spicy mustard. And as weird as it sounds, the subs are served with fresh cut fries. they also had the best fresh squeezed lemonade & chocolate chunk cookies, they were so gooey and good!!! now today, yes i splurged on my lunch afterall i was celebrating! We came home afterwards and both napped, ive been doing alot of lately after my parttime work hours daily which are 8-12 m-f:)
i hear that im supposed to be catching up on my sleep anyways!!!!
