Baby Belly: 31 Weeks

Just a quick update for those who are interested.  I went to the doctor this week for my regular baby checkup and was tested for gestational diabetes.  Got the call yesterday that I'm in the clear, so that's good.  I am anemic though, but that's nothin' a little extra iron won't fix.

All along, I've measured right where I'm supposed to be, but this time, I measured at about 2 weeks less than where I'm actually at, based on my due date.  I was 31 1/2 weeks at my appointment and I measured 29 1/2 weeks.  Doc said they don't worry too much about it unless it's 3 weeks more or less than where you're at.  He had me schedule my next appointment in two weeks and he'll determine whether or not to do an ultrasound to measure Baby at that point.

I also had the pleasure of getting poked twice.  Once for blood and once for a shot.  I can't remember the name of it, but it's because of my blood type.  I don't normally have issues with needles, but this one HURT like a son of a gun.  I had it done with The Girl and The Kid too, but clearly I had blocked out the pain of it.

So anyway, all in all, a good report.

And now that I've rambled, I suppose I owe ya a couple belly shots.  Please notice the fact that there are no clothes piled on the bench or the bed this time.  The coat has a kid in it.

Here's Baby at 31 weeks:
