Well, we will get to see baby boy again next week. At my check up today my belly was measuring small, about 2-3 weeks behind. I've never measured small with either kid so it is kind of odd. It feels like he is getting bigger, but when she measured my belly it appreared not. The doc ordered a growth ultrasound, so we'll be going in next wednesday to see how big he is and to check his position. At first she thought he was breech but then thought he could be head down but wasn't sure. Not that it matters too much at this point, but more often than not babies should start to settle head down around this time. I can never tell how he is positioned what-so-ever, because I am getting kicked and hit 360 degrees most of the day and night. I told Nick the kid doesn't have a chance to gain weight because he never sits still :)
His heartbeat was 148 bpm and my BP was "very faint" 106/60. Thank you overly-dramatic medical assistant.
How far along?: 32 weeks 6 days
Total weight gain: 21 lbs
How big is baby?: The books say 17 inches and 4.5 lbs. We'll see what the ultrasound says next week.
Maternity clothes?: Yes....though yoga pants are much more comfortable :)
Stretch marks?: No. But I swear I will get them with this little boy. Not sure why but we will see!
Sleep?: Ok. I'm pretty tired but it's hard to get a good sleep.
Best moment this week?: Being done with work.....health work anyway. I took three long days in Grand Rapids this week, and I forgot how hard it is to work long days when you're so pregnant (even though I'm not so pregnant, I feel so pregnant). I work Thursday and Friday and that will probably be it. I'm still booking photography work into mid-October so I'll stay busy enough with that.
Movement?: Strong boy! Nick likes to see him roll across my stomach and make my belly shake with his kicks. Sometimes little boy will push or something and it will seriously HURT....especially when he kicks me right in the belly button. I think he's going to be a little stud.
Food cravings?: It's hard finding things that sound really good and energy is running low so cooking anything spectacular is pretty much out of the question.
Labor signs?: Seems like lots of BH.
Belly button in or out?: Half and half
What I miss: Energy, agility, flexibility.
What I'm looking forward to: Getting closer to my due date! I'm not wishing this pregnancy away but it's exciting to get closer. I have my list of all the final things I need to do for the baby, so I'll get started on that next week!
