32 Weeks and Counting

Today was our 32 week check-up, where I spent more time waiting for the doctor than actual time spent with her. I get it, doctors are crazy busy, especially when the baby business is a booming one.

Luckily, this time I remembered the questions I had about my non-stop heartburn, how to tackle this cold that is kicking my butt, and if my suspicions that she is turning are correct. We listened to her heartbeat, 150 and she didn't kick the doctor this time (hahahaha). I am now on a prescription for heartburn, apparently it is normal and hopefully does the job. I was also handed a list of medicine allowed sparingly after 12 weeks of pregnancy to aid in getting some relief from this cold. I did discover that I am allowed to take Tylenol Cold Medicine, but all I saw at Walgreen's were the severe and max versions so I want to do a little more research on that first. But I did pick up some saline nasal spray and throat lozenges to assist in the mean-time. The list also contains Benadryl, so I will try that tonight to see if it helps to at least provided relief at night. Plus, I was right from what we can tell she is moving, getting into position.

We are also starting the process for a pump, so that should be an interesting journey with insurance. Now to rest up and get ready for the SIDS sleep class this week and the baby shower this weekend!

Don't mind the haggard, I've-been-teaching-all-day while battling a cold look.
