34 Weeks 6 Days
8th Prenatal Apt

Savannah's Heartbeat was 150!

First to discuss my Weight Gain! I have gained just 2 lbs in 2 weeks! Grand total to 18 lbs! At this rate I'm gaining 1 lb a week, so maybe I'll hit 23lbs if she comes on her due date! Which is great news for me because it means I'll shrink down faster! So weird because they say you gain more with your second! And in my case totally the opposite!

Today was a pretty fast apt. Savannah is head down!!! Yays! My next Apt we will find out if I'm dilating and effacing. I'm pretty sure I have started already.

I've had some swelling off and on in my ankles. She says its totally normal at this point and esp if one ankle gets bigger than the other. It just depends what side the Baby is on.

We also discussed feeling faint with cramping. She says most of my stats are normal so she thinks Savannah is just pressing funny on a nerve. Regardless she wants me to sit down and rest when it happens.

Mainly she said no stress, stay off my feet, and rest! My past week has been none of that! I'm not even sure how this will work out with the move today and tom. I guess we will see...

My Next Apt is May 16th!

i never heard that about weight gain. I've only seen mommas gain the most weight/get the biggest with the first. I gained 45lbs. w/ Carlise (and looked like I was having twins!) But I only gained 20lbs. w/ Wesley & 15lbs. w/ Josie. And I was 7 months along before ppl started noticing! Keep up the good work!!! =]
