Here's what has been going on with me and Baby Ellis.
-Weeks 30-32 included our trip to Chicago. In that blog post I explained the swelling and Braxton Hicks that I started having while out of town. When we got back to Austin my feet were MUCH better and had minimal swelling. I wasn't really having many Braxton Hicks contractions anymore either, so that was a relief! At the end of my 32nd week I travelled to Mansfield for my baby "sprinkle" and the swelling returned. My feet and ankles have been very puffy and I am starting to feel just a few minor contractions here and there. Let's hope this doesn't mean I'll develop pre-eclampsia again or deliver early! My blood pressure has remained perfect so far, so that is at least positive.
-Ellis has started having the hiccups more and I can often feel them at night time.
-Stretch marks have appeared on the lower right side of my tummy. Boo!!!! I didn't get any stretch marks with Lane until after he was born and my stomach shrunk back. Even the ones I got then were really light and faded easily. This time they are a little bit darker and more visible, but aren't TOO bad. Yet.
-Still not sleeping too well because I have to get up to use the bathroom so frequently!
-Had a Baby "Sprinkle" in Arlington on February 23, 2014. More on that coming in another post!
32 Week Checkup Update:
-I gained a little less than a pound, bringing my total weight gain to roughly 18 lbs.
-BP was 112/72. Still normal!
-Dr. Schneider was gone.......AGAIN. This time she had to perform a surgery, so I saw the nurse practitioner.
-She still said my swelling was normal and to just try to put my feet up a few times a day.
Here is the progression so far! Not too much longer!
