31 weeks & a checkup

31 weeks down, 9 weeks (61 days, wow) to go.

Prenatal appointment this morning logged me in at +13.5 pounds, blood pressure at 100/70. Baby's heartbeat was 135 bmp. I am amazed that there have been no issues with this pregnancy, so far anyway, considering the first two months were a bit rocky.

I felt much better when I was carrying Evyn, and yet by this point with her, I had already had multiple ultrasounds due to uterine cysts, had failed my 1-hour glucose tolerance test, and been admitted to L&D for a non-stress test thanks to Evyn's erratic heartbeats. I guess I had anticipated a repeat of these problems, and though they did turn out to be minor issues, I'm glad things are progressing more smoothly this time!

In the last few days I got all the unisex newborn clothing washed and put away, assembled the crib (lots of fun! It's 20+ years old and comes with no instructions), set up the changing table, and bought a few more baby essentials. Pictures coming soon, I promise!
