marks. greeeat. They appeared for the first time yesterday, or Tyler noticed them for the first time. They're under my tummy, so I can't see them unless I really try, but it makes me sad. I knew it was inevitable, my mom had them really bad, but still. It makes me not near as excited for my maternity pics, or the cool ones I had planned anyway. I guess that's what photoshop is for (= Comes with the territory, and I know that they're more than worth it for what I'll get in the end. It's just natural to be vain, I guess.
My 28 wk appt went good, I guess. if not a little stressful. I had to drink the sugary stuff, which wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be, just tasted like koolaid with an extra cup of sugar. The worst part of that was not eating all morning so it didn't sit real good in my tummy. Then when the doctor comes in he tells me I have (slightly) high blood pressure, and a little protein in my urine. Which could be an early sign of pre-eclampsia, or could be nothing, just a coincidence. I have to go back in 2 weeks to check my blood pressure and urine again. If it hasn't gone down then I have to go to the lab, and if I have Pre-E, it's strict bedrest until the baby is born, and I'd likely have to be induced or get a c-section, and be at risk for preterm labor. So we're hoping NOT to play out that scenerio. Doc's not really worried about it, said it was probably nothing to worry about it.. just something they have to follow up on. I'm hoping that my blood pressure doesn't stay up just because I'm worrying about it.. hahh. But I don't really think that anything's wrong, I think it was more white coat syndrome and being worried about the glucose test. I don't know about the protein though :/
Then, I have to go get blood drawn, 3 viles. When she finished I say "great, now I have to go a Rhogam shot."
She looks at me, and is like "really, they didn't order an antibody screening, but I think I can use some of this."
So I go get my rhogam shot, then they call me back to the lab and are like.. no, we need another vile. So then I get stuck in the other arm. Geez.. yeahh, not the most fun appointment.
But, on a brighter note, with the glucose results, no news is good news, and I never got a phone call yesterday. They didn't really give me a timeline, but I figure if I get through today without a phonecall then it's all gravy. Or, at least I can eat gravy whenever I want, hahahh.
I'm getting really excited for my shower. I'm trying not to check my registry everyday, but I don't think a lot of people (besides family) are buying from it anyway. When it comes to baby stuff, I think people just buy whatever they think is cute, lol.
Oh, and hey wanna know what I was doing all day yesterday?
Yup, my hubby got his first tattoo. Gigantic. But pretty badass (= It's inspired from Randy Orton's (wrestler) back tattoo, but our tattoo artist drew one up freehand so it wouldn't be a copy, it's all his. The left side is still red because I took it right after he finished, and the other side had been done for a while. Looks amazing though. It's a pain to take care of though, since I have to do it. He's lucky I love him (=
