Finally, a good appointment!

I had to have one eventually!

I had another prenatal visit yesterday afternoon. I've been going one to two times a week, and usually not with pleasant results. I'm so happy to say that yesterday was much better. I still had to wait forever, and I was the last person to leave the parking lot, but everything else went well.

I've gotten used to waiting. Mike got me a new book for Christmas, so I've been reading it while I wait to see the doctor. I'm really enjoying the book, too! I don't know if any of my friends have ever heard of Emily Giffin, but she is my favorite author. I like to read mushy girly books. Anyway, yesterday I got to read for a good hour before seeing the doc.

Since about a week and a half ago I have been watching every little thing I eat. I'd be surprised if I've eaten any salt at all, ha ha. So, it was rewarding to see that my blood pressure was completely in the normal range. It was 119/72. My doctor was really impressed, too. She couldn't believe how quickly I was able to get it down. I still have to come back next week and the week after that. They still want to keep a close eye on me and make sure everything stays normal.

My blood test results for my kidneys came back normal, too. I was incredibly relieved to hear that! I have been worrying myself to death about it. 

The only thing the doctor had to say that was negative was concerning my weight. I've still only gained between two and three pounds. I honestly don't know what they expect from me though. With the diet I am on, I would have to eat all day long to gain any weight. I still have a life! I'm just not going to stress out about it. It's not like I was skinny when I got pregnant, so if I only gain fifteen pounds or so, I don't think it will be a big deal.
