Adventures in Pregnancy - 17 Weeks, 1 day

It happened... I think I'm starting to retain fluids. I find it hard to believe by the amount of fluid I pass when I pee but my hands are starting to feel stiff and tight. And my hands are falling asleep several times a night, which of course wakes me up... *grumble* Unfortunately, it generally wakes Cory up too but then he rubs my hands until the pins and needles are gone. He is so good to me.

I had a day of high blood pressure yesterday. Not something I'm used to... I am the Queen of the low to normal blood pressure and having my heart beat in my head is quite disturbing. I noticed something was up when I was making one of my middle of the night trips to the bathroom and my legs were red... I laid in bed (freaking out) while I tried to explain the redness. It looked just like my legs do after a hard work out... blood flushing to the surface. In the morning, I had the my pulse in my head.. damn high blood pressure. It went away but it's on the list to mention at my next prenatal appointment.

That's pretty much it for pregnancy related stuff this week. I think I occasionally feel a flutter but it could be allergies. The next few weeks have some definite milestones planned...

Stay Tuned..
