We went in for a "between appointments" fetal heart rate check today. Everything was good. Deb (my favorite nurse) found the heartbeat right away. It was 160 beats per minute. The only thing that was a little off was my blood pressure. It was 140/80... too high on top. Of course they always take it before they check on the baby so no wonder it's high! I told her that we lost our last baby at 16 weeks so until we have passed that point it's going to be high whenever I go in. She also offered me the complementary diaper bag that the formula companies give out. I told her that I would have to wait until after 16 weeks for that one too. That was especially sensitive as at the appointment that they found out our last baby died, they gave me one. I was carting that thing around from room to room until I just left it in the ultrasound room... I've been monitoring at BP at home and it's been consistently in the 120/80 range so I'm not too concerned. I'll keep checking to make sure since I was on BP meds with Zack.
Next appointment is 7/10 and we will be 16 weeks and 4 days.....
