32 Weeks and growing!

Today was my 32 week appointment. I am so happy that I am getting closer to the end. It has got to be the hottest summer EVER!!! I really don't want to complain because so far this pregnancy has been a lot better than my last. I haven't really had any big issues. Thanks heavens!!!

So, my only complaints on this pregnancy....it is so hot!!!!!! I have pretty much stayed inside all summer long. Taking care of the elderly that like their room at 80+ degrees has been hard. I have had a fan under my desk at work just to cool me off. I can't even tell you how many times my underwear is soaking wet with sweat. You think I am kidding....I am not!! The other complaint....my back hurts BAD!!! I think the baby is on my sciatic nerve. My legs go numb from time to time and walking is sometimes a challenge. Sleeping is difficult and I don't get much of it. The combination of being hot and back hurting equals not comfortable enough to sleep. I guess this is just helping me adjust before baby boy gets here.

Anyway, back to my appointment. Everything went well. I had to have a growth scan because I keep measuring ahead. The scan went well. Baby boy fell in the 62 percentile in weight. They weighed him at 4 lbs and 8 oz. His belly is bigger than the rest of his body, which this may even out overtime. So, my due date hasn't changed.....yet anyway. My fundus still measured ahead at 34 cm....34 weeks. However, they think its the way he is position. Baby's heart rate 151 beats per minute.  My blood pressure was 110/60. I have had no swelling, no protein in my urine, and I have gained another 2.5 lbs for a total of 18.5 lbs. 


Well, my next appointment is September 11th. I am loving the fact that I get to go every 2 weeks....makes me feel a lot better!
