My little Acrobat.
This kid is too much. LOL!!! He flipped for my doc appt so he was head down. Yay!! I had told the doc I could tell he was head down. Well, 1 day later and he's back to breech. He just can't seem to make up his mind. I watched the alien forces extending my belly today and he is currently head down again. He is constantly flipping. Ethan says it's because he has so much more room than Jacob did. (I thought he was saying b/c this baby is going to be smaller than Jacob, but no he said it's because I got so big this time. He said my body really must have remembered what it was like to be pregnant.) I can't disagree, I am huge. Other preggo news, I think I have pica. I think all of the Tums I have been eating have blocked my iron absorbtion and that seems to be why I can't control or stop my ice eating adventures. I eat 30-50 ice cubes/day. I constantly want ice.
My 31 week appt. went well. Babe's hr was 130, my bp was 98/57 and I lost 2 lbs. In 6 weeks time my guy will be considered full term (37weeks) and I am thrilled. Just thought I would update.

It's great to know that everything is going well. You're so far along - it'll be here before you know it!!! Thanks for the update - I'm always wondering how you're doing.

Hey, sounds like you're doing great! That's wonderful! Your little guy seems to be moving just as much as my little guy. Isn't it amazing?! I also feel like I'm huge! I'll post my 30+ week picture on my blog in the next few days. This may sound strange, but I have no idea what pica is! I also have been eating a lot of Tums lately, but my iron seems ok. At my last appointment with the midwife, she didn't even take a blood sample because I had so much iron in my system she didn't think it was necessary. I'll have to look up and see what pica is! Take care!! We're almost there!!!

Hoop de doo! Sounds like your little alien is as much an acrobat as my alien, lol. That is a lot o ice to be eating. Did you mention it to your ob? He might just check your iron level for you. That is probably why you lost 2 lbs because you don't have time to chew on anything else *wink*wink*. Only 6 weeks until you are full term...seems like yesterday you said you were pregnant. Congrats...you are in the home stretch!
