Our sweet little boy (who is still VERY much a boy) is growing amazingly and with the 3 appts that we’ve had with them – his growth plots on the charts perfectly. I found out that I have an anterior placenta<\/a> and that would explain why I feel the stronger kicks where I do. I would be feeling them on the edges of where the placenta ends….that was very interesting to me. I’ve wondered where my placenta was – for no other reason than curiosity.<\/p>\n The Dr measured me and our little man at 32 weeks and 6 days and his weight at about 4 pounds 11 ounces.<\/p>\n It was good to hear that everything looks fabulous and……..<\/p>\n I am officially released from seeing the specialist. YAH! I’m excited about that while at the same time it does feel like a (totally unnecessary<\/em>) safety net has been moved out from under me. If there is nothing wrong with my little man or with me then I “know” that there is no reason to continue to see him, but there was something reassuring about having him as a care provider. He did say that if for any reason over the next few weeks that something felt wrong or off that I should call and they’d get me in right away. This is one of those times where I’m hoping and planning to not have to call him or to see him again.<\/p>\n I did have an appointment scheduled with my midwife for this afternoon, BUT….when we got home, I found a msg on our phone that she’d been called into another birth and so we have to schedule another appt. I’m waiting to hear back from the office about when that will be.<\/p>\n Physically, this week – I’m feeling pretty good. I’m sleeping well…once I get to sleep, but I’m finding it difficult to “get” to sleep at night. My hip is still bothering me quite a bit, and I’m barfing a bit more in the morning’s now. I basically get outta bed. Take my cup of water to the bathroom with me. Drink the cup of water and then throw it all up. After my stomach calms down I have about half an hour to get some food in my system or we’ll hit another round of barfing. It’s a race in the morning to get dressed and ready for the day before Round 2 hits. It’s like a game and really who doesn’t like to race against the clock first thing in the morning when the loser ends up dry heaving for 10 minutes. Incentive is a powerful thing, people.<\/p>\n Aside from those little things which are more annoyances than anything else, I’m not swelling or having heartburn or feeling too exhausted or dealing with any of the other “normal” third trimester issues.<\/p>\n Little man has the hiccups ALL the time and seems to move quite a bit. <\/p>\n I’m SO looking forward to meeting him and wish there was someway to wish the time away so that we could be full term already. I have so much love in me for this little one and I can’t wait to cuddle and snuggle and hold him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m technically 31 weeks and 3 days, but who really cares, right?
