Appointment details and other happenings

[district12ravenclaw]

I had my 31 week appointment, and all looks well! I gained another 4 pounds, so I'm up about 22 pounds overall right now. My blood pressure was 120/72, which is a little high for me (I'm usually 110/70), but I'm not going to stress about it. Owen's heartbeat was found right away, right under my belly button (I hope that means he's head down!), beating very strongly. I go back in another two weeks, and then again two weeks after that. When I hit 36 weeks, I'll be having doctor's appointments every week!

After my appointment, I headed over to the mall to do some shopping for me. I actually ended up finding this cute kimono top at JCPenney, and a brown cami to go underneath it. Unfortunately, they don't have a picture on the website of the one that I bought. I plan on wearing it tomorrow night at Casino Night, and then I'll probably wear it again at Steve's work shower. I also popped into Motherhood and bought some nursing essentials. I got a pair of nursing pajamas, a nursing tank, and a nursing sleep bra. I've heard really good things about the Bravada nursing bra, and I think the nearest retailer to me is at the hospital, so I'm going to have to head over there and get a couple.


It looks cuter in person:






Mine has shorts, not pants:



Tonight is game 5 of the series between the Ducks and the Minnesota Wild. I was hoping we'd sweep them in 4, but it's nice for them to come home and win. They'd just better win tonight.

Tomorrow night is Casino Night, yay! It's the annual fundraiser at Steve's work for book grants. We go every year and have a blast! They give away raffle prizes at the end of the night, and we always end up with at least one basket of stuff. One year, we won 5 times! Steve is the resident poker dealer (of course), even though they bring in a company to deal all the other table games, so he's in the living room right now, sorting all of his chips.

Thanks!

I tried the sleep bra on, and it was pretty comfy. I just hope I don't get too big when my milk comes in, though it does seem to have a decent amount of stretch to it.

Even if you do get huge, your body regulates fairly quickly. So if it's too small in the beginning, give it 6-8 weeks and they should go down. =)

I had that same sleep bra, and it was way too small, once my milk came in. The straps would cut into my shoulders, and it hurt so badly! Oh, and stupidly, I washed and dried it, and it shrunk - a lot!!! As in, Claire could probably wear it now ;)

Cute shirt!!

I'm afraid that may happen to me too. Unfortunately, bra sales are final, poo. But the sizes were based on the band size, not cup size, so I'm assuming I didn't jump up to a 36.

Thanks!
