today 17 weeks 2 days. i took 2 photos this week cause i liked how I looked today!
Well Sunday marked 17 weeks expecting! Over this last week I have started my night line position at work and have had some struggled with low blood pressure that made me very sick and dizzy. My blood pressure dropped to 90/55 and I could barely walk.
I have been adjusting to eating at night, sleeping during the day and doing blood dots in the evening when I wake up. I had trouble sleeping these past couple days because of my low Bp symptoms. and I just could not comfertable! I kept waking up feeling like my feet where on fire and my feet and hands where tingly. They have seemed to ease up today and now i am on days off.
I go back to work wednesday night and then thursday we have our OBGYN appt. I cant wait to hear babys heart beat again.
Our next midwife appt is the week after then we are off to Vancouver on the 13th for our Echo and Full Anatomy scan.
My beatrix potter collection is growing thanks to my family and friends. We have been given so much stuff and are so grateful for everyones support.
My levels from last week while we where in Victoria where:
Sept. 5th phe 2.3 and tyrosine 33
Sept. 7th phe 2.8 and tyrosine 36
Sept. 9th phe 2.3 and tyrosine 35
At 350 mg phe and 2150 + calories
so we are all very happy with that and hope this weeks are just as good!
Fingers crossed!
