I took Amber in for her 15 week appointment yesterday. It should be our last time seeing the doctor before we move. Unfortunately, things are not going well.
The doctor couldn't find the baby's heartbeat, Amber's blood pressure is up where it was when Daniel was born, she's having headaches, back problems, nausea, and a variety of other problems.
Dr. gave Amber a requisition for an ulrasound and told her to stop by the lab to see if they could get her in today. When we got there, the cow at the counter told her that she couldn't make an appointment, she couldn't get in that day, and she had to call some "Bookings" number.
Well, we went home upset, frustrated, and a little scared. Amber is going in this afternoon for the ultrasound. I'm way more scared than I let on. This move is very stressful for all of us and I don't want the pressure to hury Amber or the baby. I'm trying to help out as much as I can, but if Amber gets put on bedrest because of the blood pressure, I don't know what we'll do. I can quit a couple weeks early, but someone is moving into our apartment in 19 days, so we need to get out. And once we get to Nakusp, I have a couple days off, but then Amber will be all alone with 2.5 clingy, needy kids.
I just pray that everyone will be okay. That the baby is fine. That Amber will get better. That the boys will be more calm and easier for her. That everything will be alright.
Now I wait.
