I've been having to keep a close eye on my blood pressure for the last week and a half due to one reading that was higher than normal at my OB... She had me do a 24 hour urine collection (gross, I know...) and then blood work. My blood pressure at home has all been stellar, but apparently some protein is high.

However, the only thing I haven't been able to find out is if you can be considered to have it while having normal blood pressure. I guess I'll just have to wait and find out this afternoon...

I've kept my blood pressure machine out on our kitchen table and typically take it 4ish times a day, most when Elizabeth are awake. She loves the thing! Every time it starts to air up, she does her cute "oh" face and gets this huge grin on her face. This morning, I walked into the kitchen, and she had pulled the machine off the table, put the cuff on her arm and was pushing the button to make machine turn on/off. I had to grab my camera - it was too cute not to get a picture of...
