30 Week Visit

Today I had my 30 week visit at the OB. My 1 hour glucose test came back fine, my iron level is a little low, not too bad though. I have to take an additional iron supplement. Ariel's heart rate was around 145 which is good. I have another ultrasound next week. I love seeing how big she is getting.

I have to say, I'm getting sick and tired of hearing people tell me their "opinions" on how they think I should live my life or how to take care of my child. A little advice is good but when you start turning your nose down on me because you don't like the way I live. Just shut up...that's the nicest thing you can do.

Ultrasound at 26 weeks, 5 days

I had an ultrasound done yesterday. Ariel didn't want her pictures taken apparently. She was butt down with her face towards my back. She wasn't budging either. So, we didn't get really good any great pictures. But she wasn't sucking her thumb either! YAY. She is measuring right on track, heart rate was 150 bpm, and weighing in at 2lbs 2oz! Back in 4 weeks for another one!

26 weeks, 5 days.

Well, at my last OB appointment everything went fine. Ariel's heart rate was at 145 bpm. Dr. Hoover said that my belly is measuring a lot bigger than where I'm at right now, I'm at 31. I guess she is having a little growth spurt. I have another ultrasound today so we'll see just how big she actually is.

I tell ya what, she's been kicking A LOT lately. I think with her little growth spurt she's running out of room in there and I'm feeling things way more than I used too. I actually saw my belly "roll" a little bit the other night. It was pretty cool. I'm used to seeing it move when she kicks but this was from the belly button and rolled to the left.

My belly is itching too! I'm trying not to scratch cause I know that makes the stretch marks worse but oh my gosh, how I just want a good scratch!

I'll update again after the ultrasound today.
