"Star Pupil"

We had our 32 week appointment today and I puffed with pride as Dr. Dangerfield told me he was going to start calling me his "star pupil." :)

Blood pressure great, measurements great, weight gain perfect (ok, I was the most excited about that one), and oh yeah - head is still down! He said it was unlikely that Baby's position would change at this point  though it's not impossible, so we'll continue to keep our fingers crossed. Heart rate is still in the 130s.

My biggest physical change/feeling is an increased awareness of gravity when I stand up. My pelvis feels every ounce of Baby and uterus when I stand up and while it's not painful ... it's a dull pressure that is growing stronger all the time. It seems it has reached new heights in just the last day or so, so I'm still getting used to it. Like the back pain, I'll likely just be able to ignore it soon enough. It is strongest when I get up in the morning (or the middle of the night) which is presumably because my body goes from completely horizontal to completely vertical and everything is making its biggest shift (seems logical...). This probably explains my aforementioned waddling debut as well. Ahh, pregnancy. Just hanging on tight for where this body will take me. To a cute little baby and it will all be worth it!
