Baby Registry and Migraines

Today I called my OB to see if I could take medication for the migraines I've been getting this week and I was asked to come in to the Doctor's office the same day. I had one on my birthday (2/9) and another two days later (2/11) that lasted into the morning. I went in for some testing and my blood pressure is okay, there is no protein in my urine, and they took blood for a metabolic screening. Baby's heart rate was between 150 and 160's which was within a normal range. All of these tests are preventive, but I was told that if I get another migraine they will refer me to a neurologist. A little bit scary, but they said they don't mess around checking things out when you are pregnant. I go back for my regular monthly appointment on Monday. 

My Mom and I registered at Babies R' Us on Tuesday. It was a little overwhelming. There are a lot of choices, but it was nice to have some help. I had done a little bit of research on some products but still need to check some things out. I did find some really cute bedding with animals and the alphabet. As a reading teacher I got excited and knew it was perfect for us! Now if I could just find cute furniture. I'd like to get a convertible set that changes over to a toddler bed. 

He has been moving around like crazy lately. He is growing and I am paying more attention. It is amazing. Today I watched as he was either kicking rather rhythmically or hiccuping and my belly was actually moving. It was great! I'm feeling closer to him every day. I can't wait to be his Mommy and meet him!
