My appointment was fairly uneventful, and I just saw the Nurse Practitioner, Jen, as Dr. Cowan was in surgery that day. Baby Girl's heart rate was around 140 bpm and my fundal height measured exactly 32 centimeters. I made a comment to Jen that, yes, I was feeling her moving all the time, but I had no idea how she was laying in there. She told me to lay back and felt around, and she thinks Baby Girl is already head down with her back along my left side, bottom up by my left ribs, and then arms and legs going over to the right. Let's hope she stays that way!
We had our breastfeeding class, too. Nelson was so sweet and came with me, and I didn't tell him that Emily said Grant didn't and that there weren't many husbands in the class. Luckily there were about four other dads there, so it wasn't too awkward for him. It was pretty informational and I think we both learned a lot, including what flat and inverted nipples look like (with pictures to help).
And a birthday picture at 31 weeks!
Mom's Take at Week 32: Nothing really new to report since week 28. I'm still working out and doing what I can - RPM, Body Pump, and the elliptical. My right hip flexor still gets pretty sore and tight, and it seems to have gone a little more into my hip, so I just have to be cautious not to overdo it. Baby Girl is moving quite a bit, too, but they're biiiiiiig, slooooooow movements. She isn't really into making the quick and jerky movements. I'm really enjoying taking video of her moving, as you can tell :)
Dad's Take at Week 32: Nelson's officially in his own nesting mode. He's checked out two books from the library, one about how to get babies to sleep through the night and another titled "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know" <3 Other than that, he knows it's happening and is helping me get things ready around the house. He seems to be saying less negative stuff and freaking out. I guess that's what knowing you have two months until your life is "over" does to you!
