32 weeks, 2 days: Another doc visit
I LOVE this every two week thing!!! First things first...the baby's heartbeat was at 150 bpm and the doc said that she is definitely growing (hopefully not too much). Weight gain you ask? Only 2 pounds! I think it's only normal for me to gain a pound a week at this point so I'm happy. Right on target. I've been doing really well with my diet, trying to eat somewhat healthy and I think it's working. I admit that it is getting harder to stay away from the junk food and sweets. This past weekend Michael and I had rootbeer floats (good memories of swimming at my grandparents), but I did buy the lowfat ice cream. Doesn't that count for something?
Michael and I did some projects for the nursery this past weekend. We started to paint the letters for her name and I found the perfect ribbon to hang them at Walmart of all places. It matches the bedding perfectly! And, I walked through the craft dept and found some cute wooden flowers that I'm going to paint for decorations. More painting of some shelves this weekend and we'll be all done. Still have to wait to actually put anything on the walls until we get the rocker, which will hopefully be here soon. We also changed out the window shade and put up the new curtains. I can't wait to have it all finished! I'll take some pictures this weekend of the progress so far.
As for other things...I'm starting to swell a little. I just noticed it the past couple of days. My rings go on fine in the morning, but are a little snug in the afternoon when I go to take them off. I don't think I have "cankles" yet, but my feet are a little swollen. Today was the first day the nurse asked me about it and said that this is about the time that it starts to happen. Michael and I are still in amazement at how much the baby moves. Her kicks are definitely harder now and sometimes they are a little uncomfortable. Last night she was making the weirdest shapes and bulges that we have ever seen. And her favorite time to kick is when we have just turned the lights off for bed and Michael puts his arm around me in bed. I think she knows he's there.
One more thing...huge props to Michael for getting me a pregnancy massage and pedicure for Valentine's Day! I go this Saturday at 1:30 and I can't wait! My back has been doing a little better, but I still need it. Love you honey!
More to come soon...
