Kelly and I are 31 weeks today! We have 63 days left (2 months) until we meet our baby girl! We had a check-up this morning with Dr. Walters. Everything went well - Here are some updates stats!!
Blood Pressure - 122/70
Heartbeat - 156 per minute
My total weight gain - 18 lbs
Fundal Height Measurement - 29cm
Kaitlynn is measuring small right now - She has grown one centimeter over the past two weeks; she is either being stubborn and not growing much right now or we will have a "petite" child :) BUT, we do have quite a healthy, happy, little one!! We find out at our next appointment in 2 weeks if we have to go in for an ultra sound to check on bone growth based on her measurements. I have started having a few aches & pains with this pregnancy. Dr. Walters checked today for a bladder infection & the possibility for preterm labor. We should get the results back at the next appointment in two weeks. Thankfully my cervix check was really good - thick & closed, which hopefully means Kaitlynn will arrive on time. However, I got a thumbs-up to continue walking & working out from my doctor today. She said to watch for signs that I may need to slow down, but otherwise to continue working out if I choose to do so. I purchased a support belt to wear - Kaitlynn sits low and I can feel her weight especially when I work out so the belt should help give me extra support. Here are some pictures to update our growth from 27 weeks to 31 weeks:
Kelly & I went on our 1-Year Anniversary Getaway this past weekend. We left Friday around noon after his work meeting and headed for Gatlinburg, TN. We had a great time getting away and spending time with each other! The bed & breakfast that we stayed at was fabulous - absolutely relaxing which was much needed! We spent time in downtown Gatlinburg on Saturday where we shopped & visited Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. We also went into Pigeon Forge Saturday night for the Dixie Stampede. Sunday we spent the entire day in Pigeon Forge shopping for Kaitlynn at the outlets, visiting the Christmas Village shops, and going to a Magic Show that was completely fascinating!! Sunday night we stayed in downtown Gatlinburg at Days Inn - headed to The Peddler Steakhouse (*amazing*) for dinner, and played miniature golf at the Hillbilly Miniature Golf Course. We had to ride an incline to the top of the mountain to start the course. As you played each hole, you were coming down part of the mountain. Once you were finished, we rode the incline back down. It was definitely different and a lot of fun! The best part of the entire weekend was relaxing at the Bed & Breakfast and enjoying our anniversary treats such as an old fashioned, buttermilk icing cake and our chocolate dipped strawberries!! We will cut into our actual wedding cake on our anniversary in 24 days - Sunday, July 26th. Here are some pictures to enjoy from our trip!!

Loved this post with all the updates and pictures. It looks like you guys had a fantastic time on your anniversary getaway; can't believe you've already been married for (almost) a year!
ReplyDeleteThe nursery looks great too. We just ordered the rest of our registry items, so our nursery will be much more complete in a week or so. I can't wait!
