At the end of December, my blood pressure was a little high, so they told me to watch it and chill out. It was also the holiday season, so I didn't think it was just me making the blood pressure high. At the next appointment, my blood pressure was also high; not has bad as the last appointment, but still high. The doctor called me at work the next day to tell me she was looking at my chart and wanted me to come in for a special check of my blood pressure! I totally love that they are checking on me, but calling me at work and asking me to come in for a special appointment totally freaks me out (which I can only guess is making my blood pressure rise). So, I am trying to relax and stay hydrated and lower my blood pressure. On a positive note, going in for a blood pressure check means we get to hear the little guy's heartbeat and that is totally awesome. Only 9 more weeks! (Brett and I are telling him to stay in there and cook all the way before coming out!)
As all pregnant ladies know, we get calf cramps all the time. Mine, thankfully, only come sporadically at night and I can handle them on my own. Well, this week, I have not had any, and I was thinking it was my lucky week. Last night, the mother of all calf cramps came upon me to the point where I could do nothing, NOTHING to get rid of it, except to wake my sleeping husband and say "LEG CRAMP"! He massaged my leg and helped me through another cramp before we both made it back to sleep. Today, it feels like my muscle is on fire and I babied it all day. Thank goodness for Brett helping me; I don't know what I would have done without him. He told me this morning, he was so disoriented, he had no idea what to do, except find her leg! He is so great! Let's hope it doesn't happen again!
