May Doctor's Appointment

On May 5th, I had my May Doctor's appointment. It was a very successful appointment because I prepared and had several questions ready. At my appointment, I was 24 weeks. My blood pressure ended up being higher than normal. The doctor wasn't worried since she said it could just be stressed related especially since I had been traveling and a lot had been going on in my personal life.

Baby Cunigan was still measuring just right but my weight gain was a lot for only being 24 weeks. The doctor suggested seeing a dietician to see if it would help. She wasn't worried but she thought it may help me since I am hungry all the time. Technically, to stay healthy, I could only gain 2 more pounds. I was sad because I thought this may mean giving up pizza.

Another thing I found out is that I should be able to start feeling the baby every day and I should start tracking it. I told the doctor I really hadn't felt him move. She showed me what it feels like and it turns out I had probably been feeling him and I thought it was just my stomach rumbling. I was excited to start tracking the baby.

Later that night, I was laying down talking to Baby Cunigan with Sierra by myself. I was telling the baby about Sierra and about how they were going to be best friends. It may have been a coincidence but the baby kicked as I said they were going to be best friends. It was a very cool feeling!
