I had a dr. appt. yesterday that was pretty uneventful. Very routine and heard junebug's heartbeat again, nice and strong. I did gain too much weight this last month, I was pretty sure I had, but it was confirmed yesterday. I'm not going to say how much I gained, just that it was too much. It is still possible for me to be within the normal range of weight gain by the end, so that is what I am shooting for. I just can't have any more months like this last one. So I need to stay away from the junk food, but it is so hard, LOL. I mentioned to my dr. about the contractions. He wasn't too concerned, but he told me if that happened again, and I couldn't get them to stop after 30 minutes, that I needed to go to L&D right away. He told me that BH are usually not regular, like I was experiencing, but as long as I got them to go away, it was nothing to worry about. I didn't mention to him that they lasted for a good part of the day that day, but I know that was in part because I was so busy, I couldn't rest and get the water in my system I needed. Once I could, they went away. My appt next month I will be in the 3rd trimester, and then I get to start going in every two weeks. It is getting close. The pg has seemed to go by slower, but I have feeling that this last trimester will go by fast and the baby will be here before I know it. I need to start writing out my to do list so that I can start working on it. There is not a whole lot I need to do before the baby comes, but there are some things that I just want to do. Mike has to teach in June, so I think I am going to try to get everything done before June if possible.
The baby continues to be very active, and both Mike and JR have felt him move. Although I don't think JR really understand that it is a baby moving in there. He will sometimes pat my tummy and say baby. But he has been sitting on my lap and the baby has kicked, and I know he felt it, but he just ignores it. JR got some new toys for his birthday last week, so I decided to go through all his toys and put all the really baby ones in a box for the baby. It cleared some space in toy box, but as I was going through the toys, he kept picking up the baby toys and playing with them. He was fine with me packing them away, but I just think it is so funny how he could still want to play with these toys when they are pulled out. I wonder what it will be like when the baby is here and we are actually letting the baby play with all his old toys.
