Nothing much to report since the last baby update/belly pictures. Besides my awful heartburn, awful reflux, and terrible sleep, things have been moving right along.
At my 32 week appointment, the Doc told me that my platelets were back up in the normal range and I wouldn't need more follow-up labs now. That was a nice sigh of relief to hear!
Heartbeat was strong and in the 160's. Things are headed in the right direction, it won't be long now :)
32 Weeks: (Sept 20th)
Baby is as big as a honeydew melon and 2.5-3.5 lbs now.
Just like before, this baby never quits moving. I am feeling heels jab and feet kicking me, especially on my left side, right below my ribs. I'm pretty certain this thing will never sit still!
36 Weeks: (Oct 20th)
Baby is as big as a romaine lettuce and close to 6 lbs.
Once again, moving all over the place. This baby is certainly outgrowing its space! All that moving around in there is pretty painful. John enjoys watching the baby torture me :)
I've been starting to have some painful cramping pains now. They are certainly leading up the big finale!
We have been putting the final touches on around the house. The baby's room is all set up, clothes have been washed and put away, diapers have been purchased, car seat installed into the car, and hospital bags packed me John, me, baby, and an overnight bag for the kiddos. Last minute lists are being made and we are awaiting the special day, whenever that comes :)
The kids continue to be excited. Hannah did inform us one morning that she would be okay with a brother or a sister, but she really would like a sister :) That kiddo is one special sister, I can't wait for her new baby to arrive!
My amazing co-workers threw a baby shower/kiddo Halloween party to help celebrate our little bug's arrival. I certainly work with some amazing women and am thankful for them being a big part of my/our lives. I have made some pretty wonderful friendships with these special ladies :) So thank you for the potluck/shower and time to just spend together.
Here is the one picture I took of all of the kids together.
