We had good news from our doctor today on how baby seems to be doing. He’s very active and has a strong heartbeat. Everything appears to be going well. After 5 weeks of vacation I managed to only gain 7 pounds which is surprising (can you say “schnitzel and pommes frites”!) and good since I hadn’t gained any to date. I’m getting VERY uncomfortable now though. I’m feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions more this time around for sure and running on almost empty everyday now. By the end of the day my stomach is stretched so tight and every muscle hurts. I’d say falling into bed is welcomed relief, but even that hurts. I’m just holding on for 4 more weeks until our mamas get here to relieve me and there will be much more whining in the meantime I’m sure!
We also had Clara’s 1 year well baby check up today. She weighed in at 27 lbs and stretches out at 31 1/2 inches long. “Big baby” is an understatement! Our doctor was glad to see such a healthy baby.
