Angie had her first solo OB appointment of this pregnancy as I obviously could not fly in from China to attend (well, not entirely solo since at a bare minimum Smykeeny Baby was with her, if not her boys). I was hoping to have easy phone access here, but that has not proven to be the case thus far, so I emailed Angie late last night to find out how it went and here was her response:
He doubled my BP med dose b/c my blood pressure was 140/90, so I am getting high on them again, that's good. They have urine collection devices for babies that they put an adhesive baggie over the privates with a few cotton balls in it and when he pees it goes into the cotton and you just squeeze them into a container. Also my weight is still good and no protein in my urine. Also Jay was watching Trey and he was outside at the fence with the neighbor girl and Jay came out and Trey was like "Jay we were about to kiss," so Jay ruined Trey's first kiss!
Should I be worried? I am choosing not to be worried (at least about the blood pressure part... I might be a little worried that Angie gets a buzz off her bp medicine and that Trey is becoming such a ladies man!). Oh, and the part in the middle about the cotton balls is in response to my question about how in the world I am going to collect the urine sample from Fletcher that the hospital requested. The boy doesn't exactly pee on request.
