We're having another gorgeous day here. It's supposed to rain starting late tonight and continue to Monday but then sun again next week. I've been taking our cat out onto our back patio every day so she can explore and take in all the smells. She's strictly indoor so we put a harness and leash on her when we go out.
Here's a picture of her from about a year ago. I love the look on her face, you can tell she's not used to being outside!
My prenatal appointment yesterday was good. Baby's heartbeat is 130bmp and my BP was around 116/80. A bit high for me but I'd just finished having my once-a-day cup of caffeine.
I'd also gained 2 pounds. I'm a bit upset by that but my doctor said it was fine. She'd like me to gain no more than a pound a week. I have to admit that I've been eating bagels quite often which are full of carbs, calories and fat. A few a week are fine, but they've turned into my breakfast, snacks and afternoon meals. I'm going to go back to my cottage cheese and fruit for snacks/small meals. I've also started having a glass or two of 1% milk before bed along with a cereal bar. I really think I need a snack before bed or I'll wake up every few hours hungry, which I did do this morning around 4am. I had to get up and have another glass of milk.
I'm wearing carpal tunnel splints on both wrists now when I sleep. It's a bit uncomfortable but much better than waking up with pain and numbness in my arms and hands. I've also noticed that my ankles have been swelling up a bit. My socks have been leaving indentations in my skin around my ankles which they never did before. Time to drink more water!
My birth mother's sister wrote to me the other day, that was nice! I just want to say hello to her and to my birth mother. I promise to write soon! I am so happy to be in touch with both of you!!
That's all for now!
