32 weeks and Max's stats

So I had an appointment with my OB last week and they wanted to do a quick growth ultrasound. I was, of course, fine with that as I'll take any chance I can get to see Maxers. Everything looked good until they looked at how his measurements showed up:

Body/Limbs: 31.5 weeks (I was 32 weeks)
Head: 35.5 weeks

There were no other anomalies or markers, but my Dr. wanted to be sure everything was ok, so it was back to the high risk Dr. today. I love this office because not only is the tech amazing and you get to look at baby for a good 20 minutes, they have it projected on a big flat screen so you can see everything so clearly. My Mom was able to join me so that was also fun :)

Dr. said he looks great, everything is measuring fine- pretty much in the 50th percentile. His head is definitely bigger, but not anything to be worried about. The ultrasound tech said he already had a nice big brain, so it just confirmed that my son is as smart as I think he is :)

His stats are:
Weight- 4.7lbs
Length- about 19in
Heart Rate- 148bpm
My total weight gain- 17lbs

We were able to see that he already has hair (!), has pudgy little lips, and cheeks the size of Texas :)

For your viewing pleasure, here is my belly at 32 weeks:

Week 31 (June 9)


Week 30 (June 2nd)



Week 29 (May 26th)





Let me show you how I've really been....  ;-)

Week 28 (May 19th)

Yes that is a spot of water on my shirt in the first pic. No, I don't care.

The floors...

Before:
Living Room


Dining Room into hallway


Max's Room

During:

Porch with all of our stuff!

Dining Room looking into Living Room


Hallway into Office


Living Room*
*You will notice on the right the nice plaster fireplace panel... we decided to take out the tile that was there and are exposing the beautiful brick inlay that is also from the original flooring.

After!

Dining room (shut doors lead to living room)


Hallway into Max's room

(Will post pics with furniture shortly)

And now we paint Max's room... at first it looked like cement gray... but once it dried it was the perfect light green we'd wanted!












Why my life is a joke right now.

So where have I been?

Everywhere and no where... I will post more on this soon, but basically as of Thursday I don't have a job. I can't discuss details other than to say I feel like I have had a target on my back ever since I got pregnant, and after many attempts to try to get rid of me, Alcon *thinks* it found a loop-hole. It's a horrible one, and not valid, but that is all I can say as I figure all this out.

What it DOES mean is I lost all of my benefits (including that precious maternity leave), my car, my computer, of course my SALARY and right now, what feels like my pride. And really, who is going to hire a 7 months preggo lady... if you hear of anyone needing part-time help, even just for the summer, let me know!!!

SO NOW...
I will attempt to catch up in a few posts that will include:
Weeks 29-31 belly pics
New floor pics
Baby shower pics

Yipee!

Pics to follow... shortly-ish

These past two weeks have been crazy... we had all the wood floors in our house sanded, stained and sealed, as well as pulling up the carpet in the front room and having those wood floors done as well. So now our whole main level is wood. The original wood. From 1925. It's unreal how beautiful it is and what good shape it is in. The house feels warmer, bigger, and I'm just so excited.

But now is the second half of the insanity as we had to basically move OUT... we now have to move back IN. And heaven knows I'm no good. Besides the fact that my OB put me on restricted lifting, etc., I've been having such bad back pain that I feel useless.

We did, however, have a great long weekend as we stayed at my parent's house over Memorial Day weekend while the floors were being done. I just love their house and it was so nice just to RELAX. A BIG thank you to my wonderful Mom and Dad for letting us (and Titan and Athena, whom my Mom is allergic to!) invade your house.

SO... I know I need to post weeks 28-30. As soon as our home computer with those pictures comes out of hiding, I will definitely post :)
