I have officially made it farther with this pregnancy than I did with the last one. That feels like such an accomplishment even though there was nothing I could have done differently with the first one to make it longer.
The non-stress test on Friday was exciting. He was so wiggly that the tracing was hard for the doc to interpret comfortably. She sent me for ultrasound after that, which of course freaked me out because I thought maybe something was wrong. Turned out that he was fine and healthy so I went back to work. I have another non-stress test on Monday and then ultrasound and doc on Thursday. I also see the endocrinologist and have a lab on Thursday. I'm a busy lady these days!
We are moving bedrooms around at our house this weekend. I am going to paint the baby's room today. It will be hard work for me, but I am excited to see it getting done. I am a little freaked out since he will for sure be here by Nov 14th at the latest. That means less than 4 weeks until he arrives. Still no name yet, either, which makes me sick to my stomach a little. I want to have something in mind before then, but not much time left now!
I am feeling okay - having a lot of rib/back pain. I think he is getting big and running out of room in there. The Protonix seems to be working better than the Zantac, so not much heartburn lately. My feet and hands are starting to swell more than they were, so that makes being on my feet not so comfortable. I swear that my belly starts right under my chest and immediately sticks out a foot. I'm all boobs and belly and I look huge. My scrub pants are getting tight, so I may have to wear my black maternity pants with my scrub tops from here on out. We'll see how things fit on Monday morning.

Try not to stress too much about a name. You've got time. Eliana's name wasn't even on our list until two weeks before she was born. And we were discussing girl names while I was in labor with William. Luckily he was a boy! But when I'd get stressed about names, I always reminded myself that we didn't have to have a name right away. My aunt and uncle even changed my cousin's name a couple weeks after she was born. So no worries! You have some great choices on your list. One might really fit once you meet the little guy. Enjoy your last few weeks of having him all to yourself and so portable!
