33 weeks appt

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Had my appointment today and it went really well. I've gained another 3 pounds, bringing my total pregnancy weight gain to 11 pounds. Not bad, not bad at all. She estimated that baby boy is weighing just around 4.5 pounds, or a little more. He's doing well; strong heartbeat and all. She able to tell me which position he was in and turns out he's still breech with his back to my side. I have one more two-week appointment scheduled for July 3 and then I'll start seeing them every week. Yikes! I guess its really close now.

Mentally I feel ok. Still haven't some worries about delivery and recovery but I'm sure everything will be fine. It seems I'm the only person worried about that but I guess that's normal. Right?

My friends and I did my belly cast last night. It was a funny experience. Imagine standing topless, slathered in vaseline in your girlfriend's kitchen while 3 of them plaster you. Yea, quite a memorable experience. But here's a picture of the actual cast:




It's pretty cool. I can't wait until we've decided on a name for him and I can decorate it to hang it in his bedroom. Well, our bedroom.

I've pretty much finished everything for the baby shower. I just need to figure out what I'm going to wear and do my hair tonight. My family should be arriving in town tonight and I'm not sure when K's family is getting here. Since my grandmother will be here all weekend, I would love to do something with both the families combined. Again, this is contigent on what other plans he may have for his family. I need to talk to my parents about this tomorrow night anyway.

Other than that, life is grand and there's always more to come. Let me get back to work.
