Today I saw my baby boy for the last time until we meet in the flesh. The technician assured me "it's definitely, definitely a boy." She did her measurements really quick and then showed me around baby. She pointed out his "twig and berries", his face, hands and feet, brain, heart, lungs and spine. The face shot was great because you could see him pursing his lips (getting ready to kiss his mom ;-) and then open his mouth for a breath. Baby is head down with his face slightly to the right and up.
My doctor appointment went well. My BP was 120/70 which is great compared to the 155/95 it was at one point. Keep in mind the medication is probably doing the job of keeping it down but I am happy that my dose has not been increased to maintain control. My appointments are now weekly with 21 days until the induction day (Dec 16). Next week she starts checking the "oven" so we'll see if things are starting on their own. I have my own feeling the baby will come before Dec 16 but what the hell do I know?
I have been having terrible restless legs at night. It is awful trying to get to sleep and when I finally am asleep I wake up for a bathroom break, and then it starts over again. Adam thinks its iron. Someone else suggested calcium. My doctor suggested Malox. I have been bathing and reading to relax before bed but it does not help. I drink tons of milk so I doubt its calcium. If the next couple of days don't improve I guess I will try the malox route and eat some more red meat and fish.
21 days...21 days!
