Adolescent Blackmail Material

(23w5d)

First of all, appointment with Dr. Peri was mostly good.
My BP had increased slightly.
And as a result, Dr. Peri was not a happy boy.

He kept repeating...
“Your blood pressure is too high”.
“If only your pressure wasn’t so high things would be great”.
"I really don't like the look of your blood pressure".
Etc.

Not that his stressing me out about my blood pressure serves to help the situation at all...

Otherwise he was happy with things.
Urine shows no current preeclampsia (Yay!)
Womb-Thing remains somewhat subdued although the activity varies greatly by the day.
Cervix of Steel is still living up to its name and has so far not given into Womb-Thing’s manipulation. The babies, although they remain small (did I mention they are smaller than expected for triplets at this point? Thus reinforcing his concern regarding the hypertension and possible impending preeclampsia), look good.

While Dr. Peri was going for another 3D picture of Alpha’s face, he caught the privates of Beta in the picture. Alpha is on the left looking down with her hand partially obscuring her face. And Beta, well... his back end is to the right.




Yep, definitely a boy!
Poor Alpha!
