31 week OB appointment

Today was short and sweet, which is how it should go during a prenatal appointment. :) I got there a little early and was brought back almost immediately, which is definitely a good thing since C was NOT feeling it. As soon as we walked in the door he started saying "I'm cold! I'm sad. I want to go home! I need covers! I want to sleep!". What makes it even funnier is that he doesn't take naps anymore, so the "want to go to bed" was just his way of trying to convince me to leave! Haha.


I'm up 3lbs from 2 weeks ago. I was a tad surprised by this since I've actually been exercising and today I even thought "my legs are looking slimmer!" so it's either all in my head or baby just had a major growth spurt. I'm hoping it's the second option, especially since my belly is now measuring 1 week ahead! I've been dead on with the weeks up until this point so yeah. I'm going with baby growth spurt. ;) Doctors office has me up 23lbs total and scale at home has me up about 21lbs. With only 8 weeks left, I'll take it!


Heartbeat was a nice 145. Crazy kid is still breech, just like I thought. His little booty is pretty low in my pelvis as well, which does concern me a bit. If he's starting to drop, does this mean he won't have room to turn? My doctor seemed totally unconcerned with it and said there's no reason to even worry about it until 36 weeks. I'm a worrier by nature, so that's going to be impossible for me. LOL.


Next appointment in two more weeks. I'm sure it will just fly by since the month of May is so jam-packed with fun things.




I got the kids pictures taken yesterday morning. The owner, who is a friend of mine on facebook told me that they'd do a few belly pics with the kids if I wanted. So I was thinking one or two of them kissing my belly or something. But it turned into a cute little maternity shoot, so I'm anxious to see all of the pics. I did get one last night and it's just darling. As you can see, Em played the part of the sister trying to sell her brother perfectly. ;)
