OB Appt

I had another OB appointment today :) All of them tend to be kind of fun and exciting. I also just want to keep track of everything on here because I am terrible at journaling and writing things down, doh! The baby's heartbeat was 150, good and strong! When the nurse took my blood pressure she laughed because it was crazy low. She asked if I felt okay and I really did feel fine. I had a rough morning of not feeling too well but at the moment she took my BP I felt great! I am also measuring 23 weeks instead of 22 weeks and 4 days (hey, any closer makes me happier!) so I am now due on September 16th. I wonder if it will keep changing, sheeeeesh. With Griff I was right on target all the time. I have also been having a TON of braxton hicks contractions on a daily basis so we are going to start watching that closely. I might need to go get hooked up at labor and delivery for a few hours just to make sure but I am sure things are fine. It's just so hot here and I am constantly running around. Having an out of town hubby doesn't help at all either, blahhh.

I am so thankful to be having a healthy baby, as far as I know. There is so much uncertainty when it comes to babies and pregnancy so I feel lucky to have a healthy little guy so far. I know you are not out of the woods until the baby is in your arms and safe but I am hopeful that things will go well and according to plan. When this boy arrives he will be called.....

ooooh I LOVE your name!!!:) Griff & Nolan :) Sounds adorable! Don't worry about the brax. hicks- I got them allllllllllll the time- starting like at 18 weeks or so- I went into the hospital 2x for them and they weren't even registering on the contraction monitor. You'll be fine! :) I'm so happy everything is going well for you! I miss you and I hope things get easier when Kason gets home!!!

again, Love the Name! I'm sure your doctor told you this but stay hydrated!!!!!!!!!!! I have the hardest time doing so myself, but that was one of my main problems with Adelyn, at least one of the pre-term labor times. I'm glad I learned that from her because going through the summer will be tough. and since it's soooo hot there, just drink a ton so hopefully that will help. My doc had just said (with adelyn) that they have the most problems with prego ladies in the summber due to hydration and all those contractions. just thought i'd pass it along...i'm sure you already know :) glad all else is well!
