32 weeks!


The boys thought it was quite funny of me taking a picture of myself ;)
I HATE that this is blurry too!!
Here is what Baby Center says our "girl" is up to :)
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.


Things are going well.. going every 2 weeks now for doctors appointments... Heartbeat is in the 140's still and baby is a mover!!! Still loving most minutes of it!!! Belly button is still in!!!! Still having the right side "rib/muscle" pain... so sitting gets a little annoying!! Working on nursery slowly but surely... put stuff away from the first shower... I am a little nervous taking things out of the packages... will get some curtains up in the next few weeks! and get more things set up :)

29 week belly shot

Total weight gain/loss: up 27..hmmm

Maternity clothes: 99%

Stretch marks: No...thank god.

Sleep: Still going strong... getting up later in the morning now fo my pee time..

Best moment last week: Shopping!!!! Car seat, changing pad, + covers and blankets and boppy oh my! oh and a new winter coat, sweater, shirt and of course bra's for me :) thank you momma!! ;)

Movement: Oh yes- there are numerous attempts to escape the womb from my belly button!

Food cravings: right now-- I want anything... nothins specific...
Gender: still unknown to me... but I have my hunches.. and sources ;)

Labor Signs: Nope

Belly Button in or out: still fighting the good innie fight!!!

What I miss: Walking without huffing and puffing or being passed while trying to walk faster!

What I am looking forward to: getting the room together! fingers crossed that I have a nice u/s tech today and they let me get a peek of the baby too ;) Going to the doc every 2 weeks now ;)
Milestones: seriously making it to 30 weeks.... I can't believe it!!!!!
 
So the rest of the story.........
go in today for my check-up-- baby is good... heartbeat 140's still... moving like crazy!
Me on the otherhand... I have had this "pain" for about the last 2 months.. it is on my right side just under the boob... it was tolerable until about the last 1-2 weeks... it was constantly sore and occasionally would get sharp... well the last few days- it's been worse.. and I haven't done anything different (well except for getting rid of the underwires, and trying to get my butt up/off the couch or bed a different way).
So doc thinks it might be my gallbladder...
 
so I get to head to the hospital about 3 for an u/s and some blood work... and of course I had a freaking piece of cranberry bread before I left-- that is why I have to wait alllll day now.. and think of not eating anything!! (it could be that it is just rib/muscle issue-- but I don't really feel the baby up there at all and the Left side.. is totally normal... so this is the easiest to rule out the fastest...)
but anywho... so that is where that is.... will keep myself busy with laundry and nursery stuff and watching grey's from last night!


Oh yeah and there was a Monday Night Football game ;)
