Check up: 32 weeks, 5 days

Midwife appointment went fine yesterday.  I have gained about 19.5lbs, my belly measured 31cm and Elsie's heart rate was in the 130s.  The midwife agreed with my guess that she is head down.  She is moving lots and has hiccups a ton (exercising her diaphragm!)  I am surprised how differently I am carrying this baby compared to K and R.  This baby belly is much more the 'basketball' belly, very compact and out there!  I carried Katya and Reagan wider.  I have been VERY bad about taking belly pictures...I think the last one was at 7wks!  I will try to take one soon.  Physically things are hard but mentally/emotionally I am feeling really good.  The next 7 weeks are going to fly by and it really feels like her birth is just around the corner.  Such a difference from how I felt a few months ago!  Thanks for all the prayers and support. 

Reagan's appointment today with the OHSU doc is at 1pm.  I will be posting an update sometime this evening so stay tuned.
