Squeak kick

Last night while lying in bed, Squeak was kicking me a bit. James had tried to feel Squeak kick a couple of times, but couldn't feel it. Last night was different. After waiting a little while and moving his hand more to the left side of my tummy, James felt Squeak kick. It was a pretty special moment. He felt a few more kicks after that one too. 
I do love feeling Squeak move around :-)

After having a headache for 3 days in a row (on and off, but definitely present) I decided to call up Rhonda, Dr Booker's midwife, and ask if it was a concern or not. I remember headaches being a symptom of high blood pressure so thought it was best to check. She said that it was unlikely at 22 weeks but to pop in and check just to put my mind at ease. She took my blood pressure and the first reading was high - 140 - but the other number was normal. It wasn't concerning but it isn't a good sign. Dr Booker popped in and checked on me and said that we will check again at my appointment on Thursday and if it is still high then I might need to go back on the medication. Not so fun. We listened to Squeak's heartbeat and it was good and strong. Rhonda measured it's size and said that it is growing well. She then took my blood pressure again and it had dropped back down to 123 or something like that. She thinks that it was high because of my headache, not having a headache because of high blood pressure. 

So the treatment was to rest while Daniel is resting, James to give me a neck massage (because that may be causing the headaches - tightness), heat pack on my neck, lots of water and panadol too. So I've been trying to do each of those things. 

Hopefully things will go well this week as James is away for work again - Monday to Friday. Hopefully my appointment will go well on Thursday and hopefully this headache will just go away, not be on and off. Time will tell.
