Another update: 32 weeks/2 days

I saw my regular doctor this morning and she did another non-stress test (where they monitor his heartbeat for about 20 minutes) and Ethan looked great! She wants me to finish out the week resting and drinking and told me I can return to work Monday night. I will have another ultrasound next week and they will recheck the fluid levels as well as (hopefully) give us some 4D pics of the little guy! She feels like everything is looking great and this all can most likely be attributed to me being dehydrated. I am doing my very best to not let that happen again! In other pregnancy news my blood pressure was 126/72 and my weight gain is up to a total of 22 pounds---which I believe makes 7 pounds in the last 2 weeks, yikes! I would like to think most of that is the extra fluid that I have added around Ethan :) Even in the insane heat, I have been fortunate so far to not having any swelling in my hands or feet...just my belly! I am measuring 35 weeks! Last night I dreamed Ethan was born weighing 10 pounds 1 oz and was 24 inches long! I don't think he will be quite that big but at this rate I better not speak too soon! I am so happy that is is healthy and thriving inside me right now but I am just so excited to get to full term and get him out and in my arms! I have a feeling these last few weeks are just going to drag by! Thanks to everyone for your continued thoughts and prayers!
