Low-key appointment today. I managed to gain another 2 pounds in 2 weeks, but who's counting (oh, that's right, *I* am). The doctor and nurse both said it's fine; a pound a week here at the end is no problem even if I'm not happy about it. I measured at 33 weeks (just a tad bigger than the 32 weeks that I'm at gestationally) but it was well within the expected measurements plus part of that can be due to what direction JJ is turned right now.
JJ moved around during the appointment trying to evade the mic, but we finally held him still long enough to listen to his heart which sounds great. Judging from where she was able to get his heartbeat, the guess is that he's head down still, but we'll know for sure in a few weeks when she starts checking my cervix during my appointments. I noticed yesterday that whenever JJ gets really active kicking, his kicks seem to directly impact another one of my organs now. Stretches up, I need to pee immediately; kicks to the left, my stomach rumbles and I get nauseated; punches to the right, and my back hurts. I wonder if actual bruising occurs in my insides?
I also got my H1N1 shot today. Our office offered it, but I wanted to make sure I got the good stuff. While I was at the office, I heard quite a few calls come in with folks asking for the vaccine availability, and they turned away a lot of people with the explanation that they're saving their handful of mercury-free shots for the pregnant ladies in their third trimester.
That's about it, really. Claire's big girl room is all done, and she loves her bed (the epitome of what "pink" looks like if it exploded) ... and has been sleeping in the bed all by herself! I'm there for when she goes down, but then she sleeps by herself at night. Yay! I'll post pictures of it soon. The nursery, on the other hand, is NOT done. And we have no name yet. Sigh.
