Belly Movements

I've been trying to video Layla moving like crazy in my belly. It's kinda hard to capture, but I got a pretty good video this evening. Watch the first 8 seconds.

We had a doctor's appointment on Monday, and everything looks good. The heartbeat was 148 bpm, my blood pressure was spot on, and my weight...well...funny story. Up until this appointment, I'd only gained 8 pounds. In one month alone, I gained 6 pounds, so the doctor asks me if I weighed on a different scale this time. I had, so he went and weighed himself to see if they were off...only by 0.2 of a pound. So I gained a little weight this past month. Oh well!

In a week, I go back for my 30 week visit and we'll have another sonogram. Then he said that I'll come back at 32 weeks and then weekly until the baby comes. I can't believe how fast it's gone by and how quickly the next 11 weeks will go. Soon we'll have a little girl...so exciting!

Third trimester! While I don't have anything to compare to, I still feel like my belly is relatively small. However, as Jason has graciously pointed out, my belly is finally sticking out further than my boobs...thanks babe! :) Not much going on this past week except for the senior class trip on Friday. Now that was a long day...got up at 4 am Friday and went to bed at 1 am Saturday. My students had a great time though so it was all worth it. Doctor's appointment on Monday. More updates next week!

27 weeks

So I'm finally looking and feeling pregnant, and it only took 27 weeks. :)

Random thoughts from the week...I feel like my belly button is disappearing. I know that's definitely normal, but it looks very odd and flat...Clipped my toenails this afternoon and had a really hard time keeping my leg up because my belly was in the way (super uncomfortable too!). I know, I know, it only gets worse...A sudden sharp pain in my upper abdomen area woke me up from sleeping last night. Didn't last long, but hurt really bad. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Layla's doing because it was too high up. Maybe muscles stretching? Definitely going to be asking the doctor about that at my next appointment.

Not much to report this week...I'm actually wearing a maternity top in this picture, so I feel like the belly is a bit accentuated. However, it is definitely growing. Layla's been moving and kicking a ton...watching my belly move as I type this. :)
