31 Weeks

Still not much new here. I feel like the baby is already running out of room in my belly. His activity isn't as wild as it had been. He still moves, but he feels less like a super ball bouncing around in there. We're still not settled on a name or on circumcision and no room is ready yet. We better get to it because he'll be here in 7 weeks at most. Scary!

My heartburn came back in full force this past week so I called my doc. She doubled the dose and I've been fine since then. My biggest maternity clothes and scrubs are getting tighter by the day. I don't know what I'm going to do if I outgrow them. Go shopping, I guess. What a waste to only need bigger stuff for a couple of weeks!

I saw the endocrinologist this week. Nothing really new. My insulin goes up at least once a week so that is a good sign? Sometimes I feel like I know nothing about this disease. My A1C was 5.0 this time, which is good - means my blood sugar has been well controlled over the last 2-3 months.

On Tuesday, I have a biophysical profile and an OB appt. Then Friday I have my first non-stress test. I am anxious to see how he is doing and how my fluid is holding up. I have no idea if he has flipped because when I feel a foot in my ribs it seems to only be on the side that his feet were last time. He could still be breech but have his feet up by his face now. However, I cannot feel his head when I check the upper part of my belly, and I know I was able to feel Hadley's head easily. Then again, her placenta was in the back, and his is in the front...right in front of where his head would be. I guess I'll have to just wait and see what's there on Tuesday.
