31 Weeks & Counting

My last doctor’s appointment was on Monday, November 7th.  I am 31 weeks along now.  This appointment included my RH shot I couldn’t get last time and results from my glucose screening (congrats… I’m not diabetic).  Dr. Joseph took belly measurements and listened to the baby’s heartbeat.  I also found out that these horrible menstrual type cramps I’ve been having are actually Braxton Hicks contractions. 

Since my last appointment I only gained 1 pound (thank god the weight gain slowed or I’d be a whale by the time this baby makes his appearance).  He has also figured out to lodge his bony foot right under my right ribcage.  It’s not very comfortable and there doesn’t seem to be much I can do to convince him to move.  Hopefully he’ll make his debut a bit early and give me a break from all this heartburn, cramping, kicks, and overall discomfort.
