I'm having heartbeat withdrawal. It has been so long since I've had confirmation that the baby is ok and I don't have another appointment for a couple more weeks. I tried to get a heart rate monitor but I can't find one to rent and the affordable ones in the store have really bad reviews.
My belly is growing a little. I still fit in my normal clothes though. Only a few more weeks until I will be able to feel it moving.
I feel like I'm eating constantly. My lunchbox is stuffed full each morning. It has lots of healthy stuff in it though. Fruit has never tasted better. My favorites are apples, pineapples, strawberries and oranges.
I read in the "What to expect when you're expecting" book that now is when I should start trying to sleep on my side. If you sleep on your stomach it squishes the uterus and if you sleep on your back the uterus puts pressure on a major vein and decreases blood flow to the baby. I think that is going to take some getting used to. Its harder than it sounds.
Only 25 more weeks to go. I can't wait to meet our baby.
