Says the midwife. But then again, this same midwife said I had two more weeks left the day before Lowell was born. I had the strep swab today. 140 pounds (23 pounds gained, woo-hoo!) blood pressure 102/60, fundal height 36 cm (measures at 36 weeks, same as 2 weeks ago so the baby is probably [...]
** BUMP ** updated some MORE stuff…
I just noticed, yes, noticed as in I have not been keeping track of how far along we are, that we’ve only got 7 5 3 weeks to go until our due date. In attempt to ward off any “What do you need?” questions, I have put [...]
I noticed this morning that the sunshine promotes kicking. :-) There’s definitely some dance lessons or soccer practicing going on in there this morning. (The stripes are from the miniblinds)
No internal because the baby’s head is “still jiggly” and not engaged so we’re not worried about dilation, yet. Plus, I have only had a handful of contractions since Tuesday morning. At my 36.5 week checkup, I get the strep swab so that will mean in internal check, too. The baby is LOP and [...]
Just because its been awhile, another belly shot. Sorry for the deer-caught-in-the-headlights look. I think this one is lower than the other two because none of my shirts are long enough to cover the belly (shirts that were plenty long enough for my previous two pregnancies), but I didn’t take a sideways one to compare.
[...]
I’m rarely in any pictures, but David grabbed the camera last night and pointed it at me so I had to smile. I have to admit, the belly does not seem so large now at 34 weeks as it did at 20 weeks. I think because it got big fast and has stayed more or [...]
I finally put what week I’m at on ical. This is week 33. I’ve hit the point where I am not getting quality sleep, which leaves me quite groggy and grumpy and sleepy during the day. I’m finding that having two boys and being 33 weeks along is not easier than having just one boy [...]
31 week checkup –
102/68, up 16 pounds overall (gained 16 with James but started off 10 pounds heavier, gained 26 pounds with Lowell but started 5 pounds lighter, expected weight gain to be about 23-25 pounds total), TONS of movement, Braxton Hicks about 5 times per day, no complaints.
The birth is completely [...]
But I have found some small pockets of time here and there to finish another layout. This one took me all day on Friday. Whew.
This one is a page with three random belly pics from my first pregnancy, with James. I think I got the date [...]
I had a LOT of baby movement on the drive today. I can now jiggle my belly and feel a baseball-sized head up high, with many kicks down low (as opposed to up in my rib cage where they were earlier this weekend) so I’m pretty sure we’re breech. Darn leaning back in the driver’s [...]
… and not just because I zoomed in with the lens, either. It must be all those tootsie pops I’ve been having lately. This is inspired by Alysia. I took weekly pics with my 1st pregnancy… haven’t remembered to with this one on any sort of regular basis, but I did wear the [...]
Nothing to report. I don’t remember my blood pressure but it was, like, 106/60 or something close to that. I go in on the 9th for my glucose test. I’m up to 128, still 7 pounds shy of my unpregnant goal weight for my height, but at least I’m still gaining weight. Being underweight is [...]
