22 WEEKS @ HIGH RISK SPECIALIST

Today was my 2nd appointment with the high risk specialist. I hate the drive out there (about 40 minutes total) but I LOVE that I get to see my baby so often.Gavin is growing right on track so far which is quite relieving. I'm nervous he'll be big from the diabetes, and worried he'll be small because Nathyn was so small. These "checks" are a real nerve settler.

So far every thing with Gavin is perfect, heard his heart beating and watched it pumping away, say his tummy, legs and arms, and a few other parts. He bounced around and put on quite a show for Daddy and I.

My blood sugar levels aren't exactly where they want them, meaning not as low, but they are keeping me on the same medication dosage for now. My blood pressure isn't coming down either which is what I'M most worried about (because of preeclampsia) so my doctor doubled my dosage and sent me home with a blood pressure taker and I'm instructed to turn my numbers in in 2 weeks.

But for now, no major worries, thank God. :) Next appointment with the regular OB is in 4 weeks, and then back to the high risk specialist 4 weeks after that.
