We made it to 24 weeks!!! It is always such a relief to me to get to the point of viability. I had my appt on Monday. Unfortunately, my BP was elevated, even after laying down, so I have been told to "take it easy". She did mention full bed rest may be in my future. The PIH labs looked OK, so at least the elevated BP isn't causing any other problems yet. Fundal height was right on track, and they are thrilled with my weight gain. I go back in 4 weeks for my next appt, glucose test, and a growth scan. We got baby's car seat, which was our biggest need, and it fits down to 4 lbs in case we deal with an early delivery again. I am not allowed to travel in 3rd trimester, so we had to cancel our plans to drive to my parents' house for Christmas. They have decided to not come here instead, so it's just going to be the 4 of us. I want to make it special for me and the kids, but DH despises Christmas, so it will be tricky . . . Glad we're just chugging along. I'm still on my zofran pump and added pepcid for the heartburn that plagues me. Grateful they didn't add any BP meds (yet).

Yay! 24 weeks!!! It may not seem like it to you, but wow! It seems like your pregnancy is flying by so fast.
Sorry that you're having issues with bp but glad they'll keep an eye on you and not just rush to meds. Hopefully you're able to rest up some (I know, easier said than done with two other little ones lol). Love and prayers to you and sweet babe, Rachel!

Here's my most recent pic from yesterday at 25w4d. I've been checking my BP at home. It is pretty much always elevated if I take it after being on my feet for any reason, but it does go down if I rest. Not sure what that will mean when I go back in 2 weeks . . .
