31 weeks and counting...
Had my usual bi-weekly check-up and everything is going great. The baby is about 3 lbs now (I haven't gained any since the last check-up) and his/her heart rate is strong. I am a bit sore and have issues sleeping, but other than that I feel very lucky so far, I really don't have much to complain about.
This is my last week at work and I am spending it training my replacement. I love training people! Maybe I should consider that when deciding on my next career path...
Doug's been really great so far, I don't think I mention this often enough. He really goes out of his way to make sure I am comfortable and happy (and well-fed...:P), even drives me downtown to my bi-weekly doctor's appointments. We talk a lot - discuss stuff and come up with plans of all sorts. He is THE AWESOME.
I have a new picture to add to the belly-collection:

Thank you for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so tiny for being so far along!!!
Hey you!!!! Sorry I didn't get to your last blog until now. It's been crazy.
ReplyDeleteBut now I've caught up. You're looking lovely. You mentioned what weight you're at now, but what amound have you gained (if you don't mind me asking...I gained a TON -- 80 lbs total -- I had reached my all-time low before getting pg and was in a size 6 at 150 lbs. So guess what standing on the scale at 80 pounds over THAT did to my self esteem!!!)
I'm so thrilled to hear that Doug is being a good boy. It can be really hard for the guy and sometimes they don't know how to act and what to do. Kevin had a tough time, though he did his best, I was often frustrated that he didn't seem to get it, ya know?
Keep up with the updates. You're going to be so happy you have this record when your baby is almost a year and you're looking back (and yes, I'm speaking from experience!). I can't believe it's mid-November and you're due in Jan!!! Eeeek! I can't wait and I'm so excited to meet your little (boy -- I'm convinced) this summer!
Thanks, Jess!:) You always make me feel so pretty!:)
ReplyDeleteSo far I think I gained about 15-20 lbs. But I still got 52 days to go, and I heard this final stretch is when the baby really starts growing! I am not 100% sure how much I weighed before I got pregnant, but I know that I lost tons of weight in the first trimester when I had morning sickness pretty bad, and also when I had my little hospital episode at 12 weeks. There was probably 2-3 weeks when I had less to eat in total than I would normally eat in a 2-3 day interval before I got pregnant! I was actually very worried about the baby because I didn't seem to be gaining any weight at all for months, I even kept losing some! It was like I was x lbs when I got pregnant, then I lost like 20, and then I started gaining and now I'm at x+20-ish:) Which I guess means that once I was healthy, I gained like 40-ish! LOL I hope that makes sense!:)
But I think it will be all okay now... Baby is active and the doctor says he/she sounds healthy! And that's all that really matters now!
I just hope my baby will be as awesome as Juliet!:) I love looking at her pictures:) I'm sure I'm going to have so many questions for you, I might have to put you on my MY5/speed dial!:)
