So, there's quite a bit to update all of you on since my last post. I hadn't been feeling great at all; still nauseous much of the day, but no vomiting. I was having some pretty good headaches and one that really didn't want to go away. I was always so dizzy. I would get up and have to stop and hold onto something so I wouldn't fall over. I would even see stars. My most frustrating symptom at that point (apart from being woken up in the middle of the night with the feeling of having to puke) was some pretty significant shortness of breath. I'd barely take a few steps and would feel like I've run a marathon; not that I would know what that feels like because if any of you know me, you know that I don't run unless I'm being chased (wink, wink).
I've also had another appointment with my OB. The doctor took my blood pressure and had a weird look on her face. She asked if I was feeling okay. I shared the symptoms I was having and she told me that my blood pressure was significantly low. I was also diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. The doctor hopes that taking the iron supplement will help my low blood pressure, too.
Baby is perfect with a heartbeat of 160. I was told I'm measuring large (ahem, what?!). But, that may be par for the course at this point. This is my fourth pregnancy... Doc wasn't concerned at all and pretty much had the same train of thought as me and added the fact that I do grow some big babes. She doesn't lie; they do end up being on the larger side... o_O
K&J are still amazing. They are always so thoughtful. Just the other day, I came home to a flower delivery at my door.And I just love the pics of Charlie they send periodically. He is such a handsome little man! Watch out, ladies!!
And, now onto me...! Here's my 17 week (measuring a little big) belly pic!
