How big is baby: Somewhere over 3 pounds but less than 3.5
Cravings: Cold drinks
Symptoms: Still having fairly frequent BH and also some dizziness. I'm guessing my blood pressure is still dipping every so often.
Mom is feeling: Sleepy! I don't know if I haven't been sleeping well or if this is just my new normal but it takes everything in me not to nap during the day and actually get things done.
Dad is feeling: Maybe a little annoyed that mom keeps bringing home baby buys...
Belly: No bigger than last week, thankfully, but still large enough to present an obstacle when I'm trying to hoist myself off of the couch.
Weight Gain: since 25 weeks (my last appointment before vacation) I've gained 4 pounds. Woohoo!
Doctory stuff: Waiting to see if the midwife calls me this morning, and if she does it means my 3 hour GTT yesterday produced less than favorable results. My iron is juuuuust a little low but not low enough for it to be a problem yet, and Baby J seems to be measuring right on target. We have a growth scan scheduled for two weeks from now.
Things we’ve done to prepare: Moved some furniture around and made a few more purchases (which I'll detail in a later post because they're too adorable not to!)
That's all for now. It was a big week but mostly that was just busyness on our part. Since I have appointments every week for the next three weeks, I don't see that changing anytime soon!
