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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
