Pregnancy Update

I went to the doctor yesterday and wanted to let you know what happened. I had an ultrasound because I was measuring large. It turns out that I just have a lot of amniotic fluid (just like when I was pregnant with Angie). My doctor did tell me that it could cause early labor (like with Angie) so Caleb may make an early arrival, we'll just have to see. They are also checking me for pre-eclampsia. I have a few of the symptoms so my doctor is trying to be cautious and proactive which I appreciate (after all, she is the best doctor in the whole world!). I go back on Tuesday so that they can check my blood pressure and we can review the results of my bloodwork and 24 hour urinalysis. The last few times I have gone, my BP is high (140/90) when they first take it and then comes down to normal after a few minutes of sitting and relaxing. A fluctuating BP is one of the symptoms of pre-eclampsia. We had just been chalking it up to the hustle of getting me and Angie in the door and in the room and all of that but we'll see what the results of the tests show. I am really not too concerned about all of this, I had these same issues when I was pregnant with Angie and I was never diagnosed with pre-eclampsia and Angie and I were perfectly fine. I'll let you know what happens at next week's appointment. Have a great weekend!!
