31 Weeks

I am 31 weeks along with baby #2 today. I had an appointment with my OB but ended up seeing the nurse practitioner instead because my doctor was apparently really backed up. Again, nothing special at this appointment, just a routine checkup. My blood pressure was good (112/62) and I'm up to around 153 lbs (that's +34 lbs already). The baby's heart beat sounded good and my belly measured right on. Brian was able to come to my appointment today so he got to finally meet the nurse practitioner and help watch Carter. I'm scheduled to have an ultrasound at my next appointment in two weeks. I'm excited to finally see this little guy again. I'm hoping the ultrasound tech isn't stingy and flips the machine over to the 3D view like she always did with Carter. I'd love to be able to compare the 3D pictures of the new baby with the ones we have of Carter when I was at this point in the pregnancy!

I finally took a belly picture tonight. So here's me at 31 weeks ...


And here is a picture from 27 weeks ...


I decided to go back and see if I had a picture of myself from when I was pregnant with Carter and about this far along. I found this picture taken at 32 weeks ...


I am SO MUCH BIGGER this time!!! Is this kid a giant or did Carter obliterate my ab muscles?!?
