My Dr. appt yesterday went well...My blood pressure was 134/65, so actually a titch better than last time at 134/70. YAY! I told the doctor that I had convinced myself that it was going to be really high and that she was going to want to pull me out of work already or some crazy thing...She said she wouldn't be surprised if it does go up later, to which I said later, MUCH later, is one thing, RIGHT NOW is another!
So that was good. I also DID get to hear the baby's heartbeat, even though my uterus is tipped slightly backward, which makes it harder to hear the baby's heartbeat, little bean was being cooperative :0)
Other than that, all they did was ask me 10 pages of questions and take like a pint of my blood.
It seems, though, that Mother Nature decided that I would like a head cold for my 30th birthday...I woke up with a sore throat, pounding head, painful sinuses and a general achy feeling. Tylenol is the only thing I can take right now, which seems to have knocked it down enough for me to work, for now...This probably explains the headaches I have been getting the last couple of days, which I was attributing to possible high blood pressure. UGH, just when I am starting to feel almost normal and getting through a really bad 1st trimester, I get socked with this...par for the course, I guess.
Hopefully I will be feeling better by this weekend and can enjoy going out to celebrate my birthday.

What good news! I am glad htat this appointment went so well; I know you have been worried. Also, have you tried any of the medicinal teas for your cold symptoms? I used them when I was prego with Owen, and they really, really work.
I hadn't thought about some herbal tea, which I do love and know do work, I will have to stop at the good food store on my way home and find some, thanks! :0)
Happy Birthday Capricorn! Hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy it :)
