Pregnancy Babble

I had an ultrasound yesterday, at 30 weeks and 6 days. Everything is looking great and the baby is measuring just slightly below the 50th percentile, which is a little bigger than what he’s sister measured in all the ultrasounds. He moved a lot and we got some really nice pictures, and we confirmed once again that he is definitely a boy.

My sister had an ultrasound yesterday too, at 29 weeks and 5 days, and it went great as well. I met her there as she was leaving and I was coming in and she looked great. Her baby is already as big as mine, even though she is one week behind, which places him in the 50/75th percentile. She told me I’m starving my baby with my obsession not to gain too much weight, but she’s just jealous because she’s gained more than I did.

Tomorrow I have my first session with the osteopath for the back pain. I have good days and bad days and sometimes I’m lying on the couch or on the bed and I can’t even get up. Yesterday I even cried when I tried to get up from the couch and I know it’s going to get worse if I don’t do something about it. My OB recommended this osteopath who is used to working with pregnant women. Lets hope she is as good as my doctor says she is.
