Belly Shot! 31 Weeks 6 Days!

In Mom's words, again! (She's such a control freak!)

+ Got a "Lab Result" Note in the mail today from the Doctors office about the Ultrasound on Oct. 26th. Says Maddox is in the 31 percentile.

+ Haven't been feeling very well lately. Have had cramps and back pains. Been hard to walk at a normal.. or even semi-normal pace. Work hasn't been fun because of it, but luckily, yesterday when I was feeling my worst, before I even clocked in at work, my manager told me I could go home.

Sonogram!

+ At the U/S on Tuesday, the Tech confirmed that I am a boy.. She also measured me and said I was 3lbs 8oz. So.. If I grow at the "normal" rate, I should be 8lbs by 40 weeks.

Week 32 (25th-30th)

Your baby measures about 18.9 inches long from head to toe and weighs almost 4 pounds. It fills almost all the space in your uterus now, either lying with the head up or sometimes still with enough room to do somersaults. A layer of fat is forming underneath the thin, wrinkly skin. Baby's practicing opening his eyes and breathing.

Belly Shot! 30 Weeks 2 Days!

Prenatal Visit #6

+ Doc Appt Today: It was pretty lame, like last time. Appt was scheduled for 3:15PM, Nurse didn't call mom in until 3:40PM, Doc didn't get in until 4PM, and then mom was out by 4:10PM.

+ HB: 132bpm
+ Apparently mom's Hemoglobin (red blood cell count) is low (11.0). It said "Good" next to it on the piece of paper they sent mom for her Glucose Test though. Doc said "I still consider it good, we don't get concerned until its 10.0". Mom hopes I am still getting enough oxygen from her.

In Mom's word today...

+ Clayton heard Maddox's heartbeat the other day, just by putting his ear on my belly.
+ I worked at Bath & Body Works last night from 6pm-10:30pm reseting the floor. So they can just go ahead and start setting up for Xmas whenever without having to do a floorset at the same time. The manager said after next Sunday (if I'm able to come back and finish with the rest of the floorset), we'll talk about getting regular hours for November and December. I haven't been able to get ahold of my Store manager at the Dollar Tree, but I left him a note letting him know that I will not be available on Sun, Tue, Wed, & Sun's for the months of Novermber & December. I hope to work 15-20 hours at BBW and 10-15 hours at the Dollar Tree every week. BBW pay's $0.90 more than the Dollar Tree, and I like BBW's a million times better too!
+ Maddox's nursery is almost completely painted. Diane will be doing a second coat of paint on the walls sometime this week. And then will be painting all of the wood work after that. The first coat of green is on the walls already and it looks very pretty.
+ Maddox has a crib!, winter bunting, a moniter, a bassinet, 1 cute little sleeper outfit, a scrapbook (not started yet), 192 size 1-2 diapers, and 528 wipes.
+ Baby Shower is on Nov. 6th.. Hopefully LOL
+ I have the cutest, sweetest kitten.

Week 30 (11th-17th)

Your baby measures about 17 inches from head to toe and weighs about 3 pounds. Baby is growing plumper and beginning to control its own body temperature. Eyebrows and eyelashes are fully developed, and hair on the head is getting thicker. Head and body are now proportioned like a newborn's. Hands are now fully formed and fingernails are growing.

Argosy University
