  How many weeks are you/baby's size?
  32, a cabbage or squash.
  
  How do you feel?
  I have had a cold over the last week and to make it worse my acid reflux had been at its worst.
  
  Any appts this week?
  Yes, a regular ob on Friday. That scale in the doctor's office had gotten dreadfully frightening, despite the fact that the doctor says I am right on track.
  
  Rants/raves/questions?
  not really.
  GTKY: How are you celebrating Valentine's day?
  Hopefully dh had gotten the clues that I am just happy if he takes me out to dinner. But my lazy butt hasn't gotten around to getting him anything yet. Worse yet, his birthday is the day after and I am drawing blanks on what he would want.

  How many weeks are you/baby's size? 32/squash How do you feel? Hips are getting a bit sore and the indegestion is getting worse but other than that things are going quite well. Any appts this week? Last week Rants/raves/questions? Not sure if a rant or rave but, I’ve lost weight since my last appointment and the doctor wants to do a growth scan next visit to make sure all is well. It has me torn because yay to not getting too big, uh oh to not being big enough. GTKY: How are you celebrating Valentine's day? We aren’t sure yet. It is our anniversary as well and we usually do an out of town trip for the weekend filled with attractions/sight seeing and fancy dining. We may opt for saving the money for finishing out the nursery and getting other things accomplished in preparation for baby boy.

  @dubnug I am sorry the doctor has you a bit worried. I have heard that for some women weight gain starts to show down later into the third trimester, as eating becomes uncomfortable. Fx it is nothing and you get to see a cute ultrasound of your little guy next appointment.

  Thank you @linds0503. The fact of getting another glimpse at him is what I’m trying to hold on to. Especially since my office doesn’t do any more sonos after the 28-30 week mark unless you pay $50 for an extra. And yes, it is becoming more and more difficult to hold an appetite when you feel bloated after about three bites of anything! Haha ugh

  @dubnug it turns out we are in the same boat this week. According to measurement, it looks like my uterus hasn't grown in the last two weeks, so I am being sent for a growth ultrasound at MFM next Wednesday. When is your scan? 
  It is so weird, because I swear baby had been pressing her feet in my ribs and that is definitely higher than the doctor was measuring. Trying not to worry. But just the same I am going to intentionally lay off of the caffeine. I have been bad this last month, almost a Coke a day lately.

  I know the doctors know what they are doing but I can’t say I’d rely on the fundal height measurements. Mine have been behind, ahead, and right on mark throughout. I go in this coming Thursday the 15. I feel as though he is growing fine as I can feel his movements more predominate and stronger and also moving up into my rib cage. I’ve done alright with caffeine intake but have had a bad habit with fruit chews such as starburst. Hopefully these are just some misreadings and all is good with our nuggets. Let me know how the scan goes. And try to get the sonographer to get as many good shots of baby while you’re in there. I know I am!
