32 weeks, 2 days

Me and my watermelon, waddlin' down the avenue...
These pictures were taken yesterday at 32 weeks, 1 day. I have an outie this time!

-My current weight is what I weighed when I got pregnant with Boo--167lbs or so.
-My blood pressure at Wal-mart the other day was 101/66... which is high for me, but then again, I had Boo on my back in a carrier and I'd just *finished* shopping. Aaah!!!
-2e's heart rate is always between 150-160 and I listen just about every night.
-2e's been head down for awhile but was breech ALL day yesterday. Today we're back to head down, butt in ribs, and legs in other ribs. I DO believe that 2e is still posterior, though.
-I don't have a tape measure, so I haven't done fundal height. I do want to do this one soon since I feel like I just swallowed a watermelon this past week.

Boo and I have been watching birth videos together on youtube. I know it sounds weird, for me to have my 19 month old watching "adult content", but I feel like it's preparing him for what's to come. After all, he's going to be there when the baby's born (but out of the room for the labor). It's so fascinating to watch his face... when the women are moaning he looks so concerned... and then baby comes out and cries, and I say "Baby?" and he just laughs and claps his hands. I DID watch a few hospital births one day because... well... I love the reassurance of what I'm going to be avoiding, if that makes sense. It's a nice reminder of WHY. Anyway, he wanted no part of that... he stuck his lower lip out and got OUT of my lap. I think it freaked him out a little bit... all the people, the yelling, the counting, the mishandling of the baby, the screaming... I think it was too much, and I'm glad I know that he can't handle "too much", and I'm especially glad that we're planning on a birth withOUT "too much". I think he'll do just fine.

Apparently there's going to be a "Blessingway" at my house in the next few weeks sometime, I just don't know the date. Rhonda (Melissa's mama) is also going to do family/pregnancy pictures that day... I'll be 35-36 weeks I think, by the time it all gets put together.

Anyway, just going to share two more pictures...

This first one is my 33 week belly pic from Boo's pregnancy. I gained weight in all directions with him, which makes my belly look tiny. I think I was close to 200lbs in this picture.

And this is a 14-week ultrasound picture of 2e.


Love,
The Hippie Thing
