Baby Leah

Yesterday, I had a doctors appointment and Paul had the day off so he was able to come with me. The appointment went pretty well, I had to drink that nasty glucose drink to check if I have Gestational diabetes. The drink was so gross. After they drew my blood the nurse checked my weight{worst part of the doctors appointment; I already feel HUGE and the last thing I wanna know is how much I weigh}and then the nurse took my blood pressure. As the nurse was taking my blood pressure, I was thinking to myself she is going to comment on how well my blood pressure is. Well, I was WRONG. She said," Oh this high." I guess the Lord was trying to humble me. So I go back into the room with Paul to wait for the doctor to come in. There are 5 different doctors and so far I have only met 2 out of the 5 and so far they are awesome! Anyways, the doctor comes in and we talk for a little bit and then he starts measuring my stomach and then checks Leah's heartbeat. When the doctor started checking her heartbeat, she kicked me so hard, I don't think she liked it. Good news: she has a strong and healthy heartbeat and is measuring normally! Okay news: my blood pressure is a little high then normal so the doctor wants me to come in 2 weeks to check it out. He also said, that if it stays high then they would want me to deliver a month early, which would be December 10th. He also said, not to worry about it! Ha! I worry about EVERYTHING and now I am worrying about it. I am so grateful for Paul, he tells me everything will be okay and not to worry about and try to relax. Thanks babe:} I know my mom would tell me to have faith and trust in the Lord. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows me and loves me. How blessed I am to have this beautiful knowledge.
