so I'm in my 31st week, and today at my prenatal check-up I asked the nurse as I stepped on the scale "can you tell me how much I've gained, because I don't know what I started at" and she said "sure, you started at 109..." as the scale reads 140.0... so hey - I've gained 31 pounds... then when my OB/GYN is measuring whatever she measures (I just think of it as "mah bellay" but I know she's actually measuring something specific... other than just the distance from my pubis to almost my sternum) she says "31, good - that's normal" so... while my BP doesn't fit in this category, nor does the baby's heart rate - it looks like everything is "31" for me today... can you play the lottery with just one number?
huh. so much for a post worth reading eh? not much point in checking in on this blog today :) at least not so far...
I spoke to my friend L earlier this evening to see how she's doing (her baby will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!) and she's been having terrible migraines for the past week or so, along with not eating well, not sleeping much, and quite possibly battling PPD... I'm feeling terrible for her, and wishing that I could be of some help... other than offering to watch the baby so she can get out of the house, or take her out of the house for a bit while her hubs, C, stays home with the baby, I'm not sure what to do... she does have an appt. tomorrow to see the doc for baby's "well baby" check-up, and is going to ask the doc. about all of this too... but if anyone has suggestions of how I can help, or some advice for her - please let me know... dealing with all of this as well as a brand new baby just can't be fun...
