Yesterday I saw my doctor. My blood pressure was low, lower than last time. According to my doctor, I have not gained weight in six weeks. I think that's inaccurate, because I have weighed myself same time once a week at home and I have gained a few pounds. I have to see a dietician now and figure out a new eating plan, plus I'm now required to count all of my calories because my doctor is very concerned I am not getting enough. Oh, the good part, we heard Beaner's heartbeat and it was a healthy 156 beats per minute. He was kicking the whole time during listening, so we could 'hear' the kicks too, and actually see them. Doctor seemed surprised at how active the Bean was being. :)
Our trip is fine to go on, he didn't seem very concerned about any of our upcoming adventures. He said to take it easy on the rollercoasters and jerky rides and upside down rides, but otherwise use my judgment.
Yesterday was an amazing festivity of food stuffing. I really tried so after the appointment we ate at the hospital cafeteria. I had mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, a baked chicken leg (GROSS!) cottage cheese (GROSS) lemon cake (GROSS) milk and cranberry juice. This is like, amazing for me. Then, for dinner, it gets even more amazing because I ate the most repulsive piece of fried chicken breast ever! Dave laughed at me the whole time because he said I looked in pain as I was eating it. I hate chicken. But I'm trying, so Beaner, you better be happy! :) The only protein foods that do not gross me out are South Beach Diet protein bars. I think I am going to have to stock up because if I have to eat chicken again... well, I just hope I can find an alternative.
Other than chicken, things are going well. Beaner kicks a lot now. Even though he can't see anything, I think he's excited for his first trip to Disney World. :)
