Good News, Bad News

First the good - we are right on schedule with all vital stats:). Today baby large jicama did an acrobatic routine for Dr. Hoff, making it somewhat difficult to get a read on his heartbeat. As he could see the limbs and extremities bumping around in my belly, this was no cause for concern, and when he finally got the read, a strong 156 beats per minute confirmed all is well. At 32 weeks, the belly measures 32 centimeters - just perfect;). And I am up to a total of 20 pregnancy pounds gained!

Which brings us to the bad news. After a recent prescription to gain more weight, I have been assured I am doing quite fine in that department now - no need to pack on the pounds with quite such determination from here on out. I took this to heart and enjoyed a lovely salad for lunch... followed by a whole baguette and a quarter pound of Italian truffle cheese (which I'd never heard of before, but thoroughly enjoyed). I think I was 9 pounds heavier the day Aiden was born, so I have some room... still, at this rate, that gap will be covered in no time.

In other news, we moved the guest bed into Aiden's room, making way for the official transformation of bedroom #3 to nursery extraordinaire to begin! Unfortunately, this is what we have to work with now.


And that's after several days of my summer break spent organizing and relocating office/craft room materials... Oh, baby boy. It's a good thing we love you so much we're planning to share our room with you for the fourth trimester;). Perhaps by then you'll have a room to call your own:).
