Week 32

This week has dragged on a bit since I haven't been feeling that great. I've got a test this morning at the hospital to check things out, but nothing to worry about yet. Nausea, headache, pain above my ribs on the right side...that sort of thing. The Doctor needs to rule out gall bladder problems, but it could just be a stomach bug and the baby kicking and pushing near my ribs. Either way, our little girl is movin' and groovin' in there as usual.

Here's what's happening with our little girl from WebMD:

Your baby measures about 18.9 inches long from head to toe and weighs almost 4 pounds. It fills almost all the space in your uterus now, either lying with the head up or sometimes still with enough room to do somersaults. A layer of fat is forming underneath the thin, wrinkly skin. Baby's practicing opening his eyes and breathing.

Mom-to-be:

Although you've only been seeing the doctor monthly, now you'll probably start seeing your practitioner every two weeks until the last month, when you'll probably switch to weekly visits. You may continue to get backaches and leg cramps. You may also notice colostrum leaking from your breasts, a yellowish fluid that precedes milk production.

I see Dr. Gallaspy on Monday and then move to two week appointments.
