Ok well I went to the new OB down in Orlando at Arnold Palmer. We got there at 9:30am (appt was for noon..lol). Glad we did too...ugh, took forever. They measured, did urine, etc...Good news was that BP was doing pretty well with the med they put me on. They did an U/S (I'm hoping to be able to figure out a way to post the pics..they are so good, straight on clear shots!), and said she's doing well, 2lbs 11oz. I have to do the 24-hour urine test (yuck), they took more blood, and I have to start weekly NST's next week. I do that for 4 weeks, then after that I have to start biweekly NST's...all the way to Orlando for it :( But, it's for baby and me, so that's what's important. They gave me a script for a BP machine so I could monitor it myself at home. Discussed the possibility of csection/inducement early. They also put me on an antibiotic for the rest of the pregnancy to help prevent anymore UTI's. I've had 3, so far. While I knew that an untreated UTI could cause a kidney infection, I didn't know that an untreated kidney infection caused Adult Respiratory Distress. Entire appt: 7 hours exactly!!! I couldn't believe it! Alex had only taken a few hours off work, so he was late getting to work. Neither of us had eaten, because no one told us it would be that dang long. Worst part for me was that all my appt's will be on Thursday's. I can't get them on Friday's ever. Which means I'll be making all further 1 and 1/2 hour drives there, then back, by myself :( That part nearly had me in tears..a high-risk preggo driving all the way there and back by herself...lovely. Guess I'm whining..sorry :( Anywho, that's it. If ya read it all, ya know the routine <passin out the cookies>.
