32 Weeks

8 months along and coming up on the homestretch. I had a 32 weeks/8 month routine ob/gyn appointment yesterday where they measure my stomach (normal), check the fetal heartbeat (136), weigh me (spot on at 25 pounds gained - holy cow - they say to gain 25-35 pounds by 40 weeks, so if I continue at 1 pound a week then I should have gained 33 pounds total. I will mention they weigh me with my shoes and clothes on, so I bet it's more like 23 pounds ;) so far), look at my blood pressure (still low), and everything checked out great. I have one more bi-weekly appointment at 34 weeks then I will be checking in with the doctors on a weekly basis to see how D-Day is progressing.

My blood platelets are low again. If it weren't for that particular issue then this just might be the easiest pregnancy ever. Nothing physically bothers me and there isn't a thing I can do to change my results. It has nothing to do with diet or exercise or anything. Just the way it is. So now I need to check in with my hematologist on a weekly basis to make sure it doesn't go any lower. Talk about doctor appointments galore!  

I'm really looking forward to the weekend... I'll be 33 weeks along and celebrating with my Florida girlfriends! My friends Sara and Katie are throwing a baby shower for William! Pictures to come!
