Back from the doctor...

I had been experiencing really bad back pains that felt like they wrapped around to the upper part of my belly...that combined with shooting pains in my back were not a fun experience. I told my OB about what I was feeling and he immediately said it's my gallbladder. He told me I needed to rest with a heating pad and to cut out all greasy foods.

I don't typically eat a lot of greasy foods or fast food (since being pregnant), but for some reason I had major cravings for McDonald's and ate a double cheeseburger and fries for lunch 2 days in a row. I'm thinking that may have had something to do with it :) So now I'm just taking it easy and will go back to eating normally...no more McDonald's for me!

I'm still pretty uncomfortable today. I'm hoping I'll start to feel better soon because it's really very very very uncomfortable and pretty miserable. I only get relief when I lay in bed, which I obviously cannot do while I'm at work all day.

Other than that, the doctor's appointment went just fine! I'm still measuring on target, Sophia's heartbeat sounded good at 129 BPM, weight is right on par, and my blood pressure has been nice and low throughout my entire pregnancy -- something I worry about because my mom has had blood pressure problems from a very young age. I'm going in weekly now and my doctor said it's just a waiting game at this point, she can come whenever she feels like it!
