Week 33

Just had my last "monthly" doctors appointment yesterday and all went well. From here I go every other week then every week in July! Crazy! I asked the doctor about the size of baby R because I feel enormous. He measured me, my belly, and said don't worry, you are about average, not big but average. Man, if I were "big" I really would be like a beached whale! Baby R's heartbeat sounded great, nice and strong! I go in for one last ultrasound next Tuesday to check on baby R's kidneys. Last ultrasound, about 20 weeks, it showed them a bit on the larger side of things so he just wants to make sure all is fine and that they are to big. He stressed it is nothing to worry about because they were just on the larger side of average.

However, I am thrilled to see baby R again! He will look so much bigger this time and of course I will get pictures and post them here. So check back Wednesday and hopefully I will have them up! My blood pressure and weight gain seems to be good. From here on out I've read that I will gain about a pound a week, which baby takes about half that. So if that is true I will gain about 7 more pounds give or take wait, who am I kidding, it will be more like 7 plus! : ) He has been moving like crazy! Not so much "kicking" as he is just moving around. It is so amazing how much he moves! I am doing well, considering. For those of you not in the Puget Sound area, it has been warm here, well HOT. So for being 7.5 moths pregnant, temps in the 80's and fighting of a bad cough and cold I am wonderful! : P
