Six pounds! That is excellent.
Cut down on the salt with the borderline
high b/p. But it really sounds like you
are doing great!

Thanks for the advice. My mom and I were
brainstorming, trying to remember what I
could be doing differently.

Along with reducing your salt, sometimes
eating smaller meals closer together can
lower you blood pressure (though, I'm not
sure why) So could exercise (like a 20 min
walk a day)
I'm glad everything else went well!
Is it pronounced Rain-a?

Yep...It's pronounced Rain-a  And I walk a
mile everyday, sometimes two if I feel
like walking ALL the way around our
road(we live in the country and our road
circles back around). Worst part is
walking by all the cow manure...GROSS!

She is actually named after her
grandmother. My mil passed away years ago
so we knew that if we ever had a girl that
would be her name. the only difference is
the spelling. Her name was spelled Reina
and we spell my daughters Raina. It really
is a different and unique name.
How did you come up with it?

beautiful name!
Good for you on the 6lb weight gain.

Um...ok, you asked for it lol. My ex/her
daddy wanted to name her something like
Blair and I was totally opposed to it. So
I started brainstorming and I remembered
the date I conceived her: It was a Friday
night(Sept 21st). I was hanging out at his
restaurant where he worked like I always
did and it started pouring rain! So we
drove to the baseball diamond nearby and
parked...Anyway...we ended up doing it on
the hood of the car in the rain! So I
searched for "rain" names and found
"Reyna." I suggested it to him and he
loved it. He also liked it because it
means "queen" in Spanish and his family is
from Cuba.

I love the name! That'll be an interesting
story to tell someone when they asked you
how you came up with it later on.
