32 weeks

Today 8/31/09 I had my 32 week appointment and ultrasound. They wanted to see how big this kid is getting since I keep measuring so far ahead. They estimate her at over 5 pounds already (83rd percentile). Most babies gain about a half pound a week from now until the end...so that puts this to be a pretty big baby!! We'll see what happens!! She also is head down now, she'd been breech for a while. Her heart rate was 164, my blood pressure was 120/80 and I weigh 157lbs. now. All are normal! Also the fluid amount around baby is all normal (apparently they worry about fluid levels when the baby is so big)! I go back again in 2 weeks for a normal 34 week appointment.

The baby gets the hiccups a few times a day (as a matter of fact she has them right now)! Loren finds this hilarious to feel!! Kaylynn also finds it amusing, but I think it's only because Loren is laughing so hard when it happens!!

Aside from the obvious soreness and discomforts, I'm feeling alright. I do kind of wish I could sleep more though. I wake up a lot at night, which is frustrating!! We also still do not have a name for baby girl 3. We'll figure it out eventually!

Here are the ultrasound pictures from today as well as a picture Loren took of me this morning (she has turned my doctor appointments into a routine of taking my belly picture, which is nice because it's good to document the growing tummy)!
