Week 32

Monday I had my 32 week appointment. Almost a week later I am finally getting around to blogging about it. I gained another 3 lbs in a matter of 2 weeks. Total weight gain as of this week is 16 lbs. My doctor said I was on the low end of the weight gain scale but that she wasn't worried about it. Amazing because I feel so huge.....and fat. His heart rate was 138, quite a bit slower than usual but the nurse just said he was relaxing or something. He is in the right position, head down, legs up. The doctor felt for his head and found it in my lower stomach. It was a relief after hearing my best friend's baby girl was breech and a c-section was scheduled for her delivery. All week I have been feeling our little guy's hiccups way down in my lower stomach and kicks up in my ribs. As I write I have a little foot stuck up against a rib making it very hard to concentrate. I am hoping he will move soon though I am not expecting much since it has been there for about 5 hours now. The doctor said everything is going well and on schedule.

Tuesday I came down with a cold and have been fighting it all week. It is my second cold of the year and by far the worst I have had in a long time. I am thankful to be able to be at home during these times of sickness to care for myself and the baby. It was another cold, snowy week so I spent most of it in bed trying to shake this cold. I meant to get a 32 week picture up of me but will try again this next week.
