Mamavation Monday: Week 35
Yes, I know it’s Tuesday. Yes, I know yesterday was Monday. But I’m going to update you all with my Mamavation Monday post anyway!
For those of you keeping track, we’re at 35 weeks with Flash. Last Monday, we had the chance to have another ultrasound and see how he’s growing. Here’s what we learned during the appointment:
- He’s already 6lbs 9 oz.
- He’s living up to his blog name of “Flash” as he made sure we knew he was a boy as soon as she began the ultrasound.
- He has some decent amounts of hair.
- He’s currently breech.
- All looks GREAT.
So, we’re pretty pumped.
At the doctor’s visit, I’d only gained about 2 lbs, so I’m right at 30 lbs total weight gain. I know this is toward the higher end of what is “suggested,” but considering I gained 60 lbs in my first pregnancy, I’m feeling very, very successful.
Next Monday, we begin the weekly visits. We were also informed by the nurse yesterday that they want me back in for another ultrasound about a week and a half before he’s due because he’s already so large.
I’m at that point now that I’m getting anxious — I like a plan, and not knowing when he’s going to show up gets me all flabbergasted. But, I’m coaching myself to just CALM DOWN.
This coming Sunday is Easter, and we’ll be eating some pretty decent food, I know. Luckily, my family is all pretty much on the same page these days with not wanting to eat too many sweets. Hopefully, that’ll keep me from going overboard on a weekend that could include lots of candy and cookies.
What are your plans for this coming week?
