Week Six and going strong...

So this weekend started me off with two doctors appointments, both which were a waste of my time. The first was because they thought my blood pressure was high, but turns out that as long as I take the elevator instead of the stairs before they take my blood pressure it's perfectly fine and has been all my visits so far to the doctor except for the one to the ER but I don't count that one as I was at the ER which is stressful in addition to being sick.

The second appointment was for my asthma where my doctor said my lungs were fine and referred me to a asthma nurse (which I have not gotten a call from yet for an appointment). So both appointments were in some respect a waste of my time, I mean yes they confirmed that my asthma and blood pressure are ok, which is good, but really did I have to take all that time off work to figure this out.

Soon I guess the asthma nurse will call me to schedule an additional appointment, and then I have my first ultrasound on the 29th. So hopefully only two more appointments this month.

As far as symptoms go have been a little nauseous here and there but nothing major and usually it's because I have waited to long to eat, and still some random cramping but other then that if I had not even taken a pregnancy test I would not know I was even pregnant.

I am still reading my pregnancy books, and have been watching what I eat, how much I eat, when I eat, and what I weigh. Since I am over weight I am trying real hard to keep a balance of eating what sounds good, when I am hungry, and not to much. So far I have maintained my weight and slipped up and down a few pounds here and there as usual for me. My goal next week is to start incorporating exercise into my life at least a few times a week to keep my body healthy. They recommend walking so I figure that I can walk the dog 5 times a week for about 30 minutes and that should be really good for me, if I feel like I can do more I can go do light cardio at the gym.

So far good with this pregnancy I just to need to make sure I keep reading my books, eating enough, drinking enough water, taking my vitamins, and maintaining my weight plus a pound.

Goal next week: Starting a regular exercise program.
