31 week appt.

Today I went for my 31 week appt. and it was short and sweet! The swelling from last weekend was gone along with 9 of the 12lbs I gained just last weekend!!  There wasn't alot to suggest as I had done everything he would suggest since my blood pressure was good at 110/70 he says this is just part of being pregnant in the summer heat and to drink, rest and watch sodium intake as much as possible.

He said my weight gain is fine at 23lbs total...for him maybe but not for me! I was aiming for 25 total and have 8 more weeks! Oh well!
Baby is still measuring a little over 2 weeks ahead and is now in the head down position. My hubby wanted to know if I could have a 10 pounder and he said he didn't think so but definitely over 8lbs and that is what I was hoping for!!  Oh and I love how my doc calls my baby by name! The doc I have been seeing will be doing my c-section so I don't have to rotate docs anymore I get to see my favorite everytime!

I am also super excited that my baby shower is this weekend and I get to meet Jackie Dobbs from here! So wishing i could meet more of you in person!
Here is my 30 week pic from last week I just thought I would share too!!
thanks for reading this far!!

The water weight is making me crazy! I was suddenly up about 5 lbs about a week and a half ago, now i've gotten rid of 3 of those lbs, but my feet and ankles still look terrible. I had to wear closed shoes to work at the ER last night and it was my first time in something other than flip flops for about the last 3 weeks, and they felt about 2 sizes too small. By the end of the night, I had some serious frankenfeet! 

Awe!!! You are super cute!!! I hear you on the weight gain - I ended up with 35 lbs.... all in my thighs and butt!!! UGH! It is going to be a long summer full of walking, swimming, and salad with no dressing!!!

I am glad all is going well - I can't believe you are 31 weeks already! :) Have fun at your shower my friend!

You look so cute. :)   I'm glad everything is going well for you.

You look very happy!  I had to go buy new tennis shoes due to my feet swelling.  So cool that you are getting a baby shower!!  Congrats!!!

I'm so happy you're feeling well and had a good appt. Have fun at the shower!

Hugs,

I can't believe you are 31 weeks already! You look amazing, and glad to hear that your appointment went well!

Beth, you look great and look so happy!  Wow, I can't believe how fast it is going for you.  You are doing great on the weight gain.  I gained 38 total, and can't wait to get on the scales to see what I weigh now.  I may have to search for one tomorrow. 
Thanks for posting for me yesterday and being such a great angel!
