Cleared for Take-off

Ruby went with me to my appointment with Dr. Chao today. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat. 150 BPM. He seems to be doing well. I asked her about positioning and she said she can tell around 36 weeks if baby is breach or if he is head down and getting into positioning. Since they don't do any more routine ultrasounds I was curious how they could tell.

She gave me the all-clear to fly to Hawaii and enjoy the vacation. I am excited to go. I stayed home with Ruby today because she was feverish last night. She seems to be doing OK today. I went to the chiropractor and got an adjustment and now I feel like I have been in a car wreck. My whole body is aching. I am icing my back and trying to take it easy. My weigh-in today was 182 lbs. Gosh, I will be big when the baby comes! I feel like I am in better fitness this pregnancy but am probably gaining the same amount of weight, or more!?

I have been eating a lot--burgers and fires, fudgecicles, bread, you name it! When I get back from Hawaii I will be signing up for my doula and getting that in place. The time is really ticking. This is the 30th week already. Where has the time gone?
