may 13- so far so good

we've been moving for the past few days, and finally got our internet up and running yesterday.. here's the update from my appointment on monday:

bp- 132/81
weight- +4lb (3 weeks since my last appt. after this weeks check-up i should gain about 1.5lbs a week.)
wren's heartrate- 140
fundal height-23.5

the swelling has begun! on sunday by the time i got home after church, lunch, and errands my feet had an indention from the straps on my (once loose) sandals. :( ick. and last night i had to take my wedding ring off, it woke me up it was so tight.
bring on the foot rubs! :)

ultrasound friday! stay tuned for more pictures!

other updates:
due to my anti-d antibody going back up i will now be having doppler ultrasounds every other week. (along with my growth scans every 4 weeks) the doppler ultrasounds will monitor wren's blood flow to her organs and make sure she hasn't developed anemia.
then at 32 weeks, as i've said before, i'll go to bi-weekly non stress tests, and weekly ultrasounds.

my vision is TERRIBLE!!! i thought it was bad before, but pregnancy has really definitely changed my opinion of bad vision.

wren has switched schedules. she's now the most active between 4am-6am. woo-hoo! this is a habit i would LOVE for her to kick before she decides to make an appearance. she's waking me up a lot. but, then again, i am poking at her a lot during the day... if she's still for a while i get worried and poke around on her until she kicks me back. :)

Don't plan on Wren's schedule changing too much until she is about a month old. Last night I was up with Ashley about every 2 hours because she slept too much during the day.

Don't worry. Hayden was always most active at my bedtime when he was in the womb. Now that's when he's the least active.
