Baby Dreams

I know I mentioned before that I was having weird dreams, but now I'm actually having pregnancy / baby dreams.  Just this past week, I've had two dreams that we were in the ultrasound room having our gender scan and the baby was a girl.  Then, last night I dreamed that my blood pressure was high and I had to go on bed rest.  I honestly still think the baby is a boy and I am still drawn to boy bedding, boy clothes and boy everything.  Just a few more months and we will see! 

Doctor Appointment

I had a check-up on Thursday.  Everything is continuing to look good.  Baby's heartbeat is still 150-160.  My blood pressure was a little higher than it normally is for me (it was 130/60) but is still within normal ranges. Pregnant women normally have low blood pressure because their circulatory system expands rapidly during pregnancy (yes I googled that!).   My weight is within normal even though I did have a jump this past month (but I also grew quite a belly in the last few weeks).  My doctor said women gain the most weight with their first pregnancy, I suppose because they don't have a little one to chase around and can be lazy,  and said normal is between 30-50 lbs.  I've been reading everywhere that normal is 20-35 and if you gain more than that you are frowned upon (maybe I'm being dramatic but that is the impression I got).  Needless to say, I LOVE my doctor....now, hand over the ice cream =)

Getting Stupider Everyday.....

Ugh this pregnancy brain is getting the best of me!  Thursday at work one of the guys came into my cubical and asked me to do something for them (revise a report, nothing too difficult and something I do quite often).  So he explained what he wanted, I said sure I'll do that and he left.  Then, I just sat there.  I had no idea what he just said to me.  I had to call him and ask him to repeat himself.  Good thing he has a sense of humor and two kids himself =)

Then Friday I was leaving for work.  I left out the side garage door instead of going outside and locked the door behind me.   I swear I grabbed my keys from the top of the microwave.  I went to unlock the van and sure enough, no keys.  I looked down at my hands and had my phone and tweezers.  Really - tweezers?   I'm guessing the tweezers were next to my keys on top of the microwave but I honestly don't remember grabbing them.  Of course Chris was not home and luckily I had my phone so I called work and had to have someone come get me.
