32 weeks

I had a doctors appointment yesterday which went well. The scale said I've gained 25 pounds and my bp was good. The baby's heartbeat was in the 140s and she's still head down (which I already knew because I feel her in my ribs all the time). My fundal measurement was 35cm. I hope that doesn't mean that she's a big baby... hopefully it just means that my original due date was more accurate, if anything at all. I asked my doctor about getting a membrane sweep and when she will do one. She told me I can get one done at 39 weeks. I was hoping more along the lines of 37-38 weeks but oh well. Hopefully she will come sooner than 39 weeks on her own. I know the day she's full term I'm going to start doing everything to naturally induce myself (no, not crazy stuff like drinking castor oil). I have one more 2 week appointment then I start going every week! That is so exciting to think about!

Symptoms are still pretty much the same with the exception of my ribs, which are hurting a lot more and it's getting harder to move. I have a new love of ice pops and red grapes. I could eat them all day :)

We are getting our maternity pictures taken on Thursday. I'm really excited, it should be a blast! We are hoping for outdoor pictures since it's supposed to be 70 and sunny. We'll see what happens :)

We ordered her dresser and paid to get it shipped up from the store in the Twin Cities but my brother is going down this weekend so he will just pick it up for me, which saves us a lot of money. I'm really excited to get it in her room because my mom washed all her little clothes, now all the baby needs is that dresser!
