32 Week Checkup

We met with Dr Wells this morning and he said everything is perfect. . . another great appointment, in and out! We love those!

I am measuring right on track, so yes my belly is huge but apparently the size it is suppose to be. The baby is still facing down which is where we want her/him to stay! The heartbeat ranged from 135 - 142. I mentioned I am starting to have more and more Braxton Hicks Contractions which is normal but if I feel 4 strong ones within an hour then we need to look more into it. Many people can misinterpret them for preterm labor.

All in all everything is fabulous! Baby Brent is having fun in my belly growing about a half a pound each week, leaving mom more and more uncomfortable! Just a couple of months to go!

According to Babycenter.com
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth
