I went for my two week check up today with Dr. Carey. I wasn't supposed to go until 3:15 this afternoon, but because of the hurricane they called and asked if I would be able to come in earlier. Dr. Carey said everything looked great and normal. I only gained a pound since my last 2 week visit (Hooray for me!) making my total weight gain for this pregnancy 22 pounds so far. I figure I am on track to gain about 30 pounds total. They say in your last trimester you gain about a pound a week. I have 8 1/2 weeks left so that would put me right around 30 pounds total. I'm so thankful that most of it has gone straight to my belly. I look like I'm hiding a basketball under some of my clothes! My next appointment is in two weeks and I'm excited because I get to see Dr. Daigle. She was the doctor I saw when I first found out I was pregnant. I found out last week that she and her family are moving right before Eli comes, so she probably won't get to deliver him, unless he decides to come a few days early. She's a wonderful doctor and I'm really going to miss seeing her at these check ups.
I subscribe to the babycenter.com newsletter and every week they email me letting me know what's going on inside my body at this stage. According to their website, this is what Eli looks like right now. He's close to 4 pounds and 17 inches long. My little boy is getting so big! Pretty soon, I'll be pushing feet out of my rib cage so I can breathe :) I can't wait! Below this I've also posted pictures of what I look like now that I'm 31 weeks pregnant.
