I had a doctor’s visit yesterday for my 32 weeks checkup, though I was already 33.5 weeks.  I am still feeling and looking good so the doctor was happy to see that.  The heartbeat of our little gril sounded very strong and she even gave a few kicks on the examination table!

The doctor measured my uterus and found I was measuring big, so we have another ultrasound on Thursday the 30th to make sure baby is doing well and not too large or to see if maybe I am retaining lots of fluid.  I will update you all at the end of the week with the results and hopefully some more snapshots of our little girl!

Hello everyone!  Well this past week was a tough one as I needed lots of rest, but today started out great with a good walk and even some raking of leaves out in our front yard!  The exercise felt great!  I am feeling like the baby has dropped some today as I am able to eat more at one sitting and cannot sit upright without moving my legs to give room to my belly!  keep watch for photos and see if you can tell if my belly has dropped!

Well the weekend of baby showers has past and we received lots of great goodies from family and friends!  The nursery is now coming together as we have the walls painted, the bedding set all out and many clothes aready hanging in the closet!

Mommy Theresa is feeling ok, but sure is noticing an energy drop this week.   Some reading has told me that weeks 31-32, where I am now, are typical of a growth spurt…so I’m assuming that is the energy drain I am feeling!  Time to slow down a bit more and get some rest!  We’ll keep you posted.  Next doctors appointment is Nov 27th.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today is the 30 week mark…3/4 of the way!  Ryan and I are excitedly preparing the nursery and organizing the house for the arrival of new baby gear.  I’ve been feeling pretty good, but having a hard time sleeping as I am waking up about every 2 hours.  I hope this week of this restless sleep is just due to a growth spurt in the baby or something else that might subside a bit!  She is for sure very active right now and kicks many times that make me jump…so maybe that is what is causing me to wake so often.  After 32 weeks, the uterus gets pretty cramped and she won’t be able to move as much…We’ll keep you posted!

Last night I felt the baby caught in a storm of hiccups.  All I read says that these are very common at this time and I had yet to feel them…maybe our little girl won’t get them much!
