Heart and shower


I went to Dr. yesterday {cardiologist} and had an ECHO and reviewed my Holter monitor results. My heart rate never went below 110, even while I was sleeping. It gets up to 160 during activity. I've dealt with this my whole life, and I'm kind of used to it. But I'm exhausted, and feel like I've ran a marathon and when I excercise (not pregnant) I can't breathe! Eating really shoots it up there, too. Anyhow, my heart looks good and there has been no damage to my heart since my last ECHO! Yay! It's still not good to walk around with my heart beating that fast, it puts a strain on your heart. Started a new medicine last night and although it makes me a little dizzy, my heart rate is in the 80's. It's weird not feeling my heart race. Plus, my BP has dropped.




I'm having a baby shower on Saturday. Wish you all could come! It's an open invitation;) I just have mixed feelings about having a baby shower! I didn't really want one because of my emotions about losing Ryan and, well it's just hard to explain. I have gotten alot of invitations over the last two years to baby showers and I've chunked them. It's hard to invite someone when you didn't go to theirs and you didn't even RSVP. My church wanted to throw me a shower and I felt like I should accept, but I'm still not registering anywhere. Or sending out invitations. I still feel weird about it, but I am a little excited;)

Don't feel weird. People just want to spoil you and that new baby! This has been a very rough ride and this should be a happy time :). Also, I woke up with swollen feet this morning. I hope that I can hang on until my appointment on Friday afternoon. I'm thinking about calling and trying to get an earlier one.
