Aches and Pains

I had a doctor's appointment this morning. All is going well. I thought I'd use this post to wrangle some of the random things that have happened the past few weeks.

I've felt baby hiccups a few times. It first happened at 27 weeks and then multiple times the other day. He doesn't get the hiccups too often, at least not that I notice. What a funny feeling!

My weight gain has been slow, and my appetite has taken a nosedive. The doctor said this morning it's OK at this point because the baby is growing well, but it is something we need to keep an eye on. Eating with no appetite isn't easy; I'm going to implement some new strategies this week and see if that helps.

The third trimester has ushered in a whole host of discomfort. I feel cramping every day. My doctor gave me some parameters this morning so I can keep an eye on them and notice if they start becoming problematic, but so far so good. The cramping business is very unnerving. I also feel pretty crummy every few days. That feeling is hard to put my finger on. All I can think of is "ick." The heartburn has made a huge comeback, and my back, hips, and belly often ache. All normal, though!

We took the hospital tour over the weekend, which was very exciting! I was anxious going into it for some reason (there's a major countdown going on in my head), but felt very much at ease once we saw the rooms. The nurse giving the tour was wonderful and I think we'll be very happy there.
