How big is baby: Not sure. She gains 1 ounce per day at this point. Probably somewhere around 6 pounds
Total weight gain: 30 pounds
Diet/exercise: Diet is good. Exercise is forbidden.
Sleep: I'm sleeping ok, actually!
Best moment of the week: Umm...it's been a difficult week to be honest.
Food cravings: apples & cinnamon, cheese.
Food aversions: Spicy/Rich foods
Symptoms: Well, I've been getting hot flashes & bad round ligament pain. I also have been diagnosed with mild preeclampsia which means high bloodpressure & my kidneys are spillig protein. Thus bedrest. Which means leaving work 3 weeks earlier than planned. Ugh!
Movement: Great! Baby seems to be thriving even though momma's struggling a bit.
Gender: GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I’m looking forward to: Since I have preeclampsia now, I have to go in for stress tests & ultrasounds once a week. I'm trying to look at the positive - I get to see her! :) So I'm looking forward to seeing her on the ultrasound today & verifying that she's perfectly healthy.
What I miss: Working! Sounds crazy, I never thought of myself as a person who cares this much about her job, but I'm realizing that I really do care, a lot, about my job. And I love my job and I care about the state of things as I leave. I'm going to beg & plead with the midwife to let me go into the office for a few hours Monday so that I can train the temp.
Next appt: Tests today, next midwife appointment is Wednesday 2/1. At which I fully expect they'll schedule an induction for shortly thereafter.
