I saw Dr. Barnes yesterday for my regular OB check-up. The visits are pretty easy now. She just checks the baby's heartbeat and measures my belly to be sure I am on target with my due date. So far, I am right where I need to be for 32 weeks. Yesterday, my weight gain reached the total I gained with J in 39 weeks. I was telling Dr. Barnes about that, and she said I was still doing great. She said that at this point in my pregnancy there is no way I could gain too much weight, so I was free to eat that Oreo ice cream sandwich I have been craving. I really haven't held back on the junk food during this pregnancy. I figure that I am going to have to get the weight off soon enough, so I should enjoy it while I can. The only bad part is that J has been introduced to some foods that he probably wouldn't have otherwise.
This pregnancy has been somewhat similar to my first. The heartburn started much sooner with this one, and I have found it more difficult with this one to have such a large tummy. This is probably because I am moving in different ways this time since I am keeping up with a three year old. My morning sickness lasted longer, but I was able to take the prenatal vitamins longer this time. This little guy is so active, maybe more than J.
We have been working hard on the baby's room. We have the crib and dresser picked out, ordered, and paid for. We are now waiting on the crib to arrive. So exciting! I am ready to have his room put together, because it is just one step closer to the reality that he will be here soon!!!
