33 week appointment

Went to appointment today for regular OB checkup. Said looked good. My fundal height was 33 (should be that since I'm 33 weeks), blood pressure was 106/70, and baby's heart rate was in the 150s. Starting to swell in my feet and legs but they said that was normal at this point in the game.
I go back in 2 weeks. She said that they would check then to see if I've started dialating yet. Boy, that makes it seem like it's close!
Been having a bunch of back pain that is keeping me up at night so I ordered a maternity belt today. It should be in for me to pick it up tomorrow.
Oh, forgot to post about my derm appt. It went fine. They took a mole off my head and one on my back. The other one they were concerned about at the OB office the derm. said we needed to wait to take it off until after the baby is here.
Had a baby shower at Joey's work this week. Got some really nice things. They are planning a shower for me here at my work next week. So we will see what all we end up getting. At this point I think Tater has more clothes than I do. :)

Derm appt

FYI: Have appt on Friday with derm. In case you wanna know.

Tater Tot has found my ribs and is using it as his playground. Hard to breath at times with him being so far up by my lungs. Guess that comes with the territory. Just will be glad when he decides that it's not so interesting in my ribs anymore so that I will have more room to breath. Guess if he doesn't catch on before then, hopefully within 6-8 weeks he won't be in there anymore and I will have all the lung room I need. :)

31 week follow-up




profile. The fuzzy line on the top of his head is hair!





I scanned it at this angle so maybe you could tell better what things were. You can see his forehead, right eye (closed), his nose is the darker smudge in the middle, and the darker lines near the bottom are his lips. Don't know if you can tell this or not but his cord was in the way so that's why you can't see his left eye or that part of his face.
Doctor's appointment went fine today. His heartrate was in the 130s. My blood pressure was 110/63. I've gained 14.8 pounds total. She referred me to a derm. to have a mole removed as it has gotten much larger and is changing in color and texture. They are to call me when the appointment gets scheduled. We are signed up for birthing classes next month. I got my flu shot today too. They said they had the one there that did not have perservatives in it, and acted like they would rather I get it there than the one they might be offering at work. So I went ahead and got it today while I was there. Waited 20 minutes after I got it done to make sure I didn't have any problems. They didn't say anything about my urine, so I guess it was all fine. She said my belly was measuring around what it should be.
When I got the scan at work yesterday, they said he's weighing 3 pounds 13 oz and is at the 53%. So sounds like it's all good as far as I know.
Well, that's your 31 week follow-up. Enjoy! :)
