I had my regular visit with my OB today. Everything is progressing nicely. I can't believe there is only 8 weeks left until my due date. Its going by really fast now.
He did his usual measurements and the baby is measuring out to exactly 32 weeks, so she is right on track. She has officially flipped and is head down in my tummy (which would explain why my ribs are aching). Her head is still "floating" which means she hasn't dropped down into between my pelvic bones yet, but that should happen in the next few weeks. I am looking forward to being able to breathe again once that happens. It feels like I haven't taken a deep breath in weeks.
At this point in the pregnancy I should be gaining a pound a week, 1/2 of which is the actual baby growing and fattening up and the other 1/2 is fluid retention. To date I have gained a total of 10 lbs, which really is pretty good for being this far along. Hopefully only another 6-8 will pack on and I'll lose it all when she's born. That would be ideal in a perfect world anyways.
I go back in 2 weeks for another check-up and then we start the countdown to "any day now!" Its getting very exciting for us.
