Pregnancy update!

As of tomorrow I will be 31 weeks...I can't believe it! I had my first appointment with my new doctor here in Augusta yesterday and everything is looking great! I'm measuring right on track and her little heartbeat sounded great as always. I also found out that Olivia is already head down - so exciting and relieving! I absolutely love the new doctor - she is so sweet. I signed up to take a tour of the hospital in July and take a breastfeeding class as well. Wesley is not so excited about the latter class as he's already been dragged to one :).

I can't say I have any major pregnancy complaints but I have noticed sleeping is not as easy as it used to be. Part of it is waking every 3 times a night to go to the restroom and part of it is not always being able to get comfortable. I think Olivia is going to be a morning person because she is most active at around 6 or 7 in the morning! I've started to have pressure as well, which I found out is because she is head down. No swelling yet but I'm sure it's coming with all this heat and humidity here. I've gained 13 pounds so far and Wesley said he can't tell where I've gained other than the belly so that made me happy :). My belly button is still an innie but when I wear tighter fitting clothes you can definitely see it.

I've started thinking about things I need to write down for Wesley and I to remember at birth. After talking to the doctor yesterday I think I have decided to get the epidural because she said with my bone structure it would really help. I plan on trying to get to 4 cm without it though. I thought it was too early to be nesting but I've had this urge to get everything prepared and ready for her arrival. Wesley and I can't wait to meet our little girl! Here is a picture taken today:

  1. Heather, you look beautiful! Wesley is right, you can't see weight gain anywhere except where that precious baby is growing!
