I went to see my doctor again last Friday. She pretty much gave me a clean bill of health. My blood pressure was still a little high, but not high enough to cause immediate concern. The nurse measured my uterus from the top of my pelvic bone to the top of my uterus itself, and told me that my baby was growing right on target. This is a relief because if my baby was determined to be too small for her gestational age, it may indicate that my slightly elevated blood pressure is having an impact on her growth. The doctor also told me that I passed the glucose test just fine, which means that I will not have to sit through the three hour glucose test. Thank goodness! I am so thankful that thus far I have had fairly good health throughout this pregnancy.
Ashley is being really stubborn lately. She will start moving around so much sometimes that I feel like I am going to give birth to an alien, but when I try to get her daddy to feel it with his hand on my belly, she stops moving! She always seems to stop moving around when her daddy wants to feel her move. We are both getting so anxious to have her here with us instead of dancing around in my belly. I keep dreaming of holding her in my arms, my husband really seems excited about her arrival too.
I have her picture on my phone at only 8 weeks gestational age and I keep thinking how amazing she is, a small miracle in and of herself. I have a new best friend growing stronger each day inside me.
God is taking such good care of us.
