32 weeks today!

We're happy to report that baby is still in the belly and that I've made it to 32 weeks. I'm adjusting to bed rest and life on my side. I had two biophysical profile ultrasounds this week and all is well with baby. They checked her movement, the amniotic fluid and breathing. She scored an 8 out of 8, so go baby! I go back in for blood work tomorrow and I'm currently doing another 24 hour urine collection to recheck the protein levels. So hopefully the good news will continue to come. I haven't been the best with the belly shots, but now that I've got plenty of free time and a growing belly, I'll try to post more photos. Here's my 32 week bump: I check my blood pressure throughout the day to make sure everything is okay. Here's a good reading that would please the nurses and doctors.The reading typically jumps up 20 points when I sit. So that's why lying on my side is best for the blood flow. Of course it helps to have frequent visits from Willow. She's such a good, patient pup. I'm bummed that I can't take her for her daily walks, but there will be plenty of those when baby arrives.
