After last week, I seriously thought I was going to have a mental break down. I was beyond stressed. Don't stress, I know it's bad for the baby! But, one can only take SO much before panic sets in. My husband was there to calm me down. He's the only person that did. Deep down I know he's still just as worried as I am about our baby Max, and my own health, but he just says, "it's going to be ok." and "don't worry." He's been my rock.
So, I went for my non stress test on Friday afternoon. Mr. Max is doing great in there! He moved a lot more in 20 minutes than he "had to". And his heart rate was good! My blood pressure was still elevated. I got a little worried, but the nurse, said "it's ok, we'll let the drs Tuesday take care of that. It's not really that high." NST's are scheduled for me and the little man every Friday from now until April 1st at 1p.m. The nurse was very honest with me and said that I should probably come every week prepared to stay. She said most of her T1 diabetics usually end up staying when they come in for an NST. I wasn't scared, I was greatful that she enlightened me! From now on I'll have a bag in my car, just in case. It'd drive me crazy to not have the things I wanted. It'd take Ryan weeks to bring me all the right things from home to the hospital. haha.
After the NST I went over for my MRI. I have Arnold Chiari malformation of the brain. Basically, the part of the skull that has a hole in order for the spinal cord to come up and connect, well my brain is crowding down, and putting pressure on my spine. The MRI is to make sure that it hasn't gotten any worse in the past few years. I have my neurology appointment on Tuesday at 11:30a.m. to see what's up. I'm crossing my fingers and praying that it hasn't changed! This coming Friday I also have an appointment with the anesthesiologist to "make a game plan" for anesthesia for me. They have to take into consideration my brain. So, I'll update about that too!
Every Tuesday from now on I'll have an ultrasound to check on Max, and then my regular visit at the high risk clinic. Then Fridays are the NSTs. Twice a week I'll be gracing UC with my presence! I'll take it over staying there! I'm preparing myself for that day where they won't let me go home though. And even that's ok, as long as it helps keep Max healthy.
That's enough of that! Today I had a splendid day. Like, so good it was eerie. I had several posts on FB wall all very nice things were said. I got a hair cut! My mom and I went thrifting for things for the tea party! I got some awesome deals! After that she took me shopping! She bought me some new pants, a shirt, boots, and sunglasses. When Ryan got home he took me out to Olive Garden! We waited 50 minutes, but it was the best food I've had in forever! So worth the wait! haha. Then I got some more stuff for the baby shower, as well as 2 new outfits for Max! I just finished stuffing all the favors before I started this blog! And I've typed out a cute thank you to go in them. Tomorrow makes ONE week until my tea party baby shower, and I can not put into words how excited I am! It's going to be a lovely afternoon with my dear friends. I'm just so excited! That's all I have for now!
Until next time...
