Well Tuesdays are our usually U/S days but the doctor was really backed up so we didnt have a U/S this week. I think that we may have one on friday though. I guess we will see. Our doctor is very day by day.
Yesterday my blood pressure started to run a little on the high side. ie….150′s/high70′s so after not feeling well all day the doctor ordered some labs, everything came back fine but they are watching my B/P very close.
Today my B/P are still up ie….high150′s/low80′s but they are coming down if I am laying flat on my left side. They are now testing my urine twice a day to make sure that I am not spilling any protein. Yesterday my urine tested for trace protein and keytones. Todays test hasnt come back yet so I we dont know if I had any in it.
Since the food is so bad here at the hospital…… I am now starting to lose weight. I only lost 1 pound, but its now apparent that I am NOT getting enough to eat. This is even with my IPs bring me food everyday. We arent scheduled to have a full scan on the babies until next week so I can really say if this has effected the babies and their growth. I am crossing my fingers that they are taking what they need from me and this wont effect them. I am trying to order out a few times a week so I really get some good food, but its really hard when you only have a menu to look at and can step into the restaurant. I mean what if the restaurant has a pest problem. I am not going to want to eat there if it a “whole in the wall Kinda place”….KWIM? So far I have done pretty good with picking places to eat. The nurses are a great help with telling me “NO, that is a bad place OR YEAH, that is a great place” So far I have gained 26 pounds with this pregnancy and if you look at my last surrogacy with the twins I gained 38 pounds. I just feel like NO one is listening to me about how much I should be eating. Even the doctor isnt worried but I am NOW!!! Before, I wasnt but now I am!!!

Someone send a prayer my way that the babies are doing ok even though I am not getting enought to eat now.
On a side not….. I found my cell phone. I was in the lanudry and it ended up going to the outside facility that does the washing for the hospital and someone found it. The funny thing is they tried to use it!! As soon as I noticed it was gone I turned it off just in case and I am glad it did!! My outgoing call list was full of calls to international number and some number from this area. They even added some numbers to my phone book like they where going to keep it and use it. When I got my cell phone back I called the carrier to see if they made any calls even though I turned it off and they werent able to make any calls but they did try and turn the phone back on. YEP….That’s right they tried to say they were me and turn it back on. Of course it didnt work if they cant even tell them my full name. After that the flagged my account so it wouldnt happen again. When I called to hook it back up I had to answer all kind of question just verify that it was me.
 Some people!!!
I am just glad I have it back. I didnt want to have to buy another one.
