Here we go again...

I went to the Doctor yesterday and I was a little worried about what she would tell me. I had noticed that I seemed really swollen and that I was getting very dizzy and light headed, so I was worried that I was having blood pressure trouble again. I was right. My blood pressure was 160/100 (its normally 110/60) and I had gained 10 pounds in the last three weeks (thats what really freaks me out, thank goodness it's water!) With Noah I had pregnancy induced hypertension around 30 weeks and was put on bed rest and then induced at 37 weeks. I knew that my odds of getting it again were better because I had had it before, but I was really hoping that it wouldn't be the case, especially this early. I am starting medication (which makes me very nervous,) and I'm going to a specialist in Seattle in the next week. On the bright side, they are having me do a 24 hour urine test (it seems all too familiar!) and when we got home Noah decided to play with the "supplies!" He thought it was a hat and that the big jug was like his sippy cup! Thank goodness he got it out of his system before I had to use them. They are now hidden as he can't be trusted!
