That's My Girl!

Thursday, the 5th, Kelly went to her midwife's appointment (luckily Clint was with her) and all was well. Her uterus measured 31 weeks, Eleanor's heart tones were strong and her blood pressure was normal. Afterwards she had to go to the hospital for the RHig shot, because her blood type is RH negative. Like her mother, Kelly is not fond of the hospital and it was frustrating to be there, as it usually is. They took her blood pressure and it was elevated. She told them she had just had it taken and it was normal. They went on about preeclampsia, etc. and she told them it was just "white coat hypertension," which obviously they'd never heard of. Since they were so worried and were threatening to "triage" her, Kelly told them to give her a few minutes and she would bring it down. Within a few minutes, after two more tries, she brought it down to its normally low number (like 117/60). I think Kelly then said, "I told you so," and if she didn't say it, she should have. With that kind of control over her body I have total faith that she is going to be awesome during labor!!

  1. I did say "I told you so," but I did it with a laugh :)
