34 weeks

my ob appointment was actually last week, as my checkups have been "off" so far on the odd weeks, but i'm just now getting around to updating :)
this appointment fell on the day after i survived the germ invasion. because of that, i still had not gained any weight and my belly measured the same as it has for the last month. this put the baby measuring right on schedule which hasn't happened really at all this whole pregnancy so far! obviously, the dehydration was a huge factor in all of that, as i was still recovering & definitely hadn't started eating or drinking normally yet. the doctor contemplated giving me some iv fluids in the office due to all the ketones in my urine, but since i was feeling better, she trusted me to catch up with my hydration as my body felt up to it. the baby remained very active throughout that whole sickness which was more nauseating at times, but also reassuring that she was okay in there. her heartrate was good & the doctor felt like she may be head down. at my next appointment, they will do an ultrasound to check her size & my fluid level. we can make sure she's head down then too! the boys have loved feeling her HUGE movements lately. they just get near my belly and she starts going crazy. she's had the hiccups a ton lately too!! baby girl now has lots of very cute clothes thanks to jerry's friends at work who had a little shower for him/us. we got a few things we needed and lots of girly things that will make her look super cute! i love this picture of jerry holding this adorable, tiny swimsuit that she will definitely be wearing at mawmaw's pool this summer!
