32 Weeks Minus 1 Day

I had an OB appointment today. YAY!

For those of you wondering about the facts of the appointment, here's some info:

Total Weight Gain: 22 lbs

Difference from Last Appointment: +3 lb (darn the ankle / foot swelling that will not go away...)

Baby's Heartbeat: 150's

Fundal height (belly measurement): 34 cm / 34 weeks

Blood Pressure: 113/72

Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks pregnant... wowsa! The time is flying by! I go back to the doctor again two weeks (on the 5th) and then again on my birthday (August 19th). I will have all my labs done again on the 19th, so yay (not!), for my birthday I will be poked and prodded. What fun. Ha!

Today I had blood drawn for a TSH / thyroid check, so will probably hear back on that this afternoon. Nothing suspicious; just hadn't had one done since February and figured it was time again.

Otherwise, told doctor how Julia was wanting to be carried more, but in the last week it feels like she has gained 10 lbs (which there is no possible way that could be) and that I cannot carry her on the front anymore because it feels like she is pushing the baby out! He said she will be doing that more and more; he says she knows something is up and coming even if she is not sure what. So, I carry her a little, set her down a little, and do what I can.

The tired bug has surely slapped me again, yet sleeping is no fun because my left arm keeps falling asleep on me when I sleep and hurts all the day long. Oh, well! The joys of pregnancy! I am just glad all else is going along well.

later,
erin
