How far along: 32 weeks, 2 days
Total Weight Gain: Last I weighed in, I was up 23.5 lbs.
Symptoms: Occasional Braxton Hicks contractions during the day especially when I'm on my feet for a while and heartburn EVERY night.
Sleep: Still pretty good minus the 3-4 bathroom trips I make every night. The baby woke me up kicking my bladder early this morning. :)
Most recent Doctor’s Appt: Today I saw Dr. F and everything went great. My blood pressure was nice and low at 110/64 and baby's HB was great too (I didn't get the exact beats per minute but whatever.) My weight is right on, but my uterus is measuring about a week ahead at 33 weeks, 2 days. Nothing at all to be concerned about he said. He's guessing she weights about 4.5lbs and we have an ultrasound scheduled for next appointment so he can measure her to get a more accurate estimate and to see about her positioning, etc. Looking forward to that! Yay for a healthy check-up!! Oh and he suggested I take a Zantac at dinner time to help with my late-night heartburn instead of relying on Tums. He told me heartburn is totally normal this late in the game due to my baby putting a lot of pressure on my stomach.
Best Moment Last Week: Dreaming about my baby sucking on my index finger. She was so little and sweet and I was so in love with her. When I woke up I had this warm feeling in my heart and I couldn't stop smiling.
Movement: You bet!! Mostly when I'm lying down. My whole belly changes into funny shapes when she really gets going. It's amazing to watch!
Food Cravings: WATERMELON!! Seriously I ate an entire watermelon all by myself this week.
What I Miss: Being able to bend over to take better care of my flowers and landscaping around the house. I see the weeds starting to grow and the ground cover that needs trimming around the edges and I can't do much about it. Ben's gonna help me get things under control this weekend. Yay!
What am I looking forward to: Welcoming my parents to town for the summer on June 27th!
Milestones: Still being able to walk/hike a couple miles a day (despite having to pee the entire time.) I am trying to keep my fitness and mobility up so that hopefully that will make labor and delivery easier on me.
How is Daddy? BUSY!! He works really long hours (he's a finance executive for a fortune 500 company) and sometimes I feel like I never get to see him. Especially this week!! I know that this is a particular busy time of year for his business so things should calm down shortly. Also he's planning on using a couple weeks of vacation after Morgan arrives so that he can bond with his baby girl right from the start.

I must have a dirty mind, but I thought something completly different than around your house the first time I read this, must be my own obsession with not being able to attend to my own personal bush:

OMG watermelon is my craving too! I could eat a whole one all by myself!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are doing well girl! Time to post another belly pic. I love watching your belly grow. You wear pregnancy so well. Congrats on keep your weight gain so well maintained! You are going to bounce back with flying colors!
Ok, your pregnancy has gone by so fast for me! It seems like just yesterday I was reading you post about getting a call in the toy section at Wal-Mart saying your beta came back positive! I could not be happier for you. And I'm so glad things are going so smoothly. Morgan is going to be here in no time! Hugs my darling friend!
ReplyDeletePS As always thanks for the positive vibes and prayers you are constantly sending my way. Keeps me going.
I'm so glad that everything is going well for you! Today, I realized that bending over and/or getting on and off the floor is out-of-the-question. From now on when I drop something, I'm just going to leave it there until the baby is born. It's just not worth it!
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute! Last night I had to psych myself up for egg retrieval #2 so I went back and read your posts about you second go around. *deep breath* I hope we have similar outcomes.
