31.5 week Appointment

We went in for our latest appointment on the day after Christmas and it was definitely busy. My doctor was in an emergency C-section so instead of rescheduling we just saw her nurse practitioner. I am definitely still gaining weight, probably more than they would like but I am not too focused on that at the moment as long as I am eating healthy and the baby is doing well I am happy - if I gain a few extra pounds along the way I will lose them after this little guy is born. His heart rate was a good 142 bpm, my blood pressure was great at 114/66 and it appears he is currently head down (he still has time to switch positions but I am hoping he will just stay put). My next appt is in 2 weeks. It is starting to become more real as the length between appts is becoming shorter and shorter (and my belly is getting bigger and bigger).

Christmas was great this year as we received a lot of stuff for the baby and I had fun putting everything away in his room. I know we will eventually run out of room in the house and will have to reorganize everything in the garage once again to make room, but for now everything has its place. I have my list of tasks that I want to get done before he arrives and I am hoping that my nesting instincts will kick in here and help me out. Right now I feel tired and not motivated to organize everything, but slowly I am starting to get things done. Sleeping at night has definitely become more challenging, but something I expected and will get through. I try to go to bed as early as possible and take as many naps as I can sneak in. So far I am coping. There isn't much more going on at the moment, but I will try and post pictures soon.
