18 weeks

So yesterday I hit 18 weeks and I still cannot believe it. I have been feeling like crap this week and honestly it scares me. I am so afraid of having preeclampsia again. Also if I got it this early there really wouldn't be much to do except wait and see. I took my BP at Walmart the other day and it is was 120/90 so that is good as long as it stays there I am good. I really think I just did too much last week and it is catching up to me also family drama is getting to me. I don't understand how I can be over 1000 miles away and they all still get to me, grr. On another note the downstairs is completely painted and I got some more accomplished in the backyard so hopefully I can get a garden growing soon. So I spent yesterday doing nothing and it felt nice, recooping from being stupid on Wednesday and going to the zoo in the morning and doing 4 hours of yard work in the afternoon to coming in to clean up the house. I feel much better now aside from being awake in the middle of the night for no reason. Oh well I am off to bed now maybe I can fight myself back to sleep.

It's once you've had preeclampsia you're more likely to get it again. BUT if you've had it then your doctor would have that heads-up. The good thing is that it only effects about 5% of women. Do you usually have high blood pressure?

Since your family is so far, try not to get involved in the drama or let it bother you! STUPID drama is NOT worth having a preemie and risk both your lives over!!!!

It sounds like you found your burst of energy this week!! LOL

Take it easy and relax this weekend!! :)
