Had my 31/32 week appointment today. My blood work from last week to check for pre-E came back fine, and my blood pressure was actually lower at 120/65 than usual. They checked Bug's heartbeat and it was nice and strong; she even gave the doppler and hearty kick to show what she though of
that experience! The only issue was the presence of Keynotes in my urine (present when dehydrated), so I just have to be more careful about my water intake. I'm not sure how much more water I can drink considereing I make sure to have at least 200oz a day, but I guess I'll just keep drinking! I actually lost a pound, which is amazing because today I was just commenting on how my arms look like two overstuffed sausages...
I have a sonogram scheduled for next week to see if Bug has turned from breech position. I hope she has, because if she hasn't we're scheduling a c-section

I was supposed to have another gestational diabetes test done as well because of the increased risk for Lovenox users, but the receptionist forgot. I certainly wasn't going to remind her, LOL! They'll be starting my weekly cervix checks next week too... Oh joy! I get to see my favorite doctor though: He's the one who asked me if I rolled out of bed after having sex and then raced to their office to have my blood work done, because my HCG level had only been a 7 the first time they drew it, LOL! He has a great sense of humor and he remembers me very well because I saw him a lot during the time of my losses and trying to get pregnant again.
I had a plan to have everything set and done by the time I was 32 weeks along, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Sean's going away for a week, and I learned my lesson about doing too much this past weekend. So, I guess I'm stuck panicing! If I could just get her room cleaned out and the base boards painted I'd be thrilled, because she'll be sleeping with us in the beginning anyway and her room won't matter. *Sigh*
