Thursday July 31...

At this appointment Heather and I were hoping to find some direction as to where we were heading with the pregnancy.

At the beginning of the appointment we went to the ultrasound room to check Baby Taylor's vital signs and maybe get a guess on his current weight. All his vital signs were in check, his head was still down, and his approximate weight was 5 lbs. 6 oz..

We then met with Dr. Blackmon for a routine check-up on her blood pressure and weight. Her weight stayed the same but her blood pressure continued to stay elevated. Dr. Blackmon suggested that Heather still stay at home on bed rest and only get up if it was necessary. She also had Heather get some more blood work done to check for anything that may seem out of the ordinary. Lastly she wanted Heather to do a 24 hour urine test prior to her next visit to check the protein level in her body. Lastly Dr. Blackmon told us that if at anytime at home her blood pressure went over 100 on the bottom number to go to the ER right away.

We scheduled her next appointment for Monday August 4th at 9:15 am.
