Well Monday was an interesting day. The night before I was having some pretty strange cramps that lasted for about three hours. Then that morning they were back so I called the Dr and they had me come in. While I was there they found out that my blood pressure was high so she ran a few tests and then sent me over to the hospital for some monitoring. While I was there they took some blood and ran some more tests and monitored my blood pressure. Apparently I was dehydrated but they couldn't figure out why I was having cramps. They were trying to monitor Addison's heartbeat, but being stubborn just like her mommy, as soon as they could find her heartbeat she was off to a new location! They said that it was a good sign that she was so active though. After a few hours I was released and told to drink a gallon of water a day( which is like 7 bottles, I'll be in the bathroom every 5 minutes guaranteed! ) and I just need to keep an eye on my blood pressure.
Addison is definitely moving like crazy! It almost seems like its non-stop for most of the day. She wakes me up a few times a night too, I can't get over how strong she is! I guess she is just preparing me for whats to come after she is born. I am already used to getting up a few times a night now.
Today marks the first day of my third and final trimester! Only three more months to go! It is bittersweet because I feel like three months is so long still, but to think that I have already gotten through 6 months of it blows my mind! Kyle and I are definitely anxious and can't wait until we get to hold her in our arms!
