32 Week Update



Here is a little update on week 32. We went to the doctor today and checked in on little Henry. He is right on target to the day! He is 4 pounds and measuring perfect. This was the only profile picture we could get. He is already head down and he turns his face towards my right hip and puts his arm over his face so we had a hard time getting his whole face in a picture. And he is moving constantly, but the doctor reassured me there is no such thing as too much fetal movement. I am feeling great. I get the occasional killer backache and now I am experiencing the pelvic pain as he moves down. I get down on all fours, or lay on my side and do some stretches. Or sometimes I get up and walk to get him to move to a different spot. That seems to work for now and I hope as he grows it doesn't get unbearable. We like our new midwife, he was really helpful and answered all my questions. But I did find out that being that I am delivering at McKay Dee and I am a first time mom they absolutely will not induce me before 40 weeks. I just thought to ask to maybe get him here a little earlier, but no way. SO I go when I go, and we are looking at a due date of January 19th, so I still have a little while to go. I want him to come when he is healthy and ready so I'm not too worried. We are going to our birth class and hospital tour this weekend. I am so excited to ask all my questions and meet other pregnant couples. I'm not done with this pregnancy thing quite yet.
