31 Weeks and Counting

Time is approaching quickly. Brock, Baby, And I had an appointment on the 20th, a couple days before Thanksgiving. We had a morning appointment, so we sat in the lobby for a longer period of time, but that is okay. It is all worth it to hear the beautiful sound of the baby's heartbeat. Once we got back to the room we found out that my blood pressure is still in good shape, and I have gained a total of 23 pounds.

We were able to see the other doctor this week, which was a change. There is a chance he could deliver the baby, so they make sure that you get a chance to meet both doctors, which I am thankful for.

We decided to ask him if he had an estimate on how big the baby will be, and he wasn't able to tell us. He was able to tell us that I am measuring on the low side of normal (when he measured my stomach), which isn't a bad thing for those of you that are concerned. So just maybe he will not be as big as we thought he would be. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Whatever his size we love him to pieces.

Talk to you all soon, our next appointment is the 6th of December.

29 Weeks!!!!

It is hard to believe that we are in our third trimester. It really doesn't seem like it was that long ago when we announced our pregnancy. Time is creeping up on us, before we know it our precious baby boy will be here.

Brock and I are loving our evenings with the baby. That is our special time, when Baby P. decides to move more frequently. Brock even mentioned waking up at 3:00 one morning, wrapping his arm around me, and the baby moving like crazy (funny thing is I didn't feel any of it). I realize that will stop soon. Soon enough I will feel every movement, when I am trying to sleep (I can live with that).

We went to the doctor yesterday. It was a quick appointment, which was nice. All the routine things were checked (weight, blood pressure, measuring my stomach, and the best part-hearing the baby's heartbeat). The doctor said all looked and sounded great. I will be sure to ask about the size of the baby next appointment, I have a lot of people asking if the baby is measuring at a the right weight (size).

The baby's heartbeat is at 150 bpm, and it is the coolest thing to listen to. Well I think that is about it for this time. We will continue with our updates, we have appointments every two weeks now--so there will be more to read.
