34 week appointment

34 week appointment

Gained 5lbs
Total weight gain: 40lbs
Fundal measurement - 31cm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sound like a broken record - but that's good! My bp was good, swelling has gone down and I have no major complaints - other than the usual aches and pains that come when you're nearing the end. I've given up on not trying to gain weight. What's the use? 5lbs every appointment seems to be the magic number these days. What are you going to do? Dr B said based on my fundal measurement it looks like I'm going to have a small baby. Then why do I feel so large? =)

A funny story that happened yesterday (sorry if it grosses you out....it involves urine.) When you get to the doctor's office you have to give a urine sample. They give you these little itty bitty 3oz dixie cups to pee in. At a certain point in your pregnancy, your belly protrudes so far out that you have a hard time aiming. I finally got enough in that 3oz cup to give my sample. Well wouldn't you know in the process of setting the cup on the sink I bumped my belly and spilled the cup of urine on the floor! Great! Now I get to refill the cup (Thankfully I could. A pregnant woman can always pee!) and clean up the mess on the floor. Easier said than done when you are 8.5 months pregnant!

I can't wait to see what happens when I go back in two weeks for my next check up.
