35 week checkup

I just got back from my 35 week checkup. There is nothing new to report as everything is progressing as normal. I still haven't gained any weight in the last six-eight weeks, but my measurements are exactly where they should be. Obviously as my belly gets bigger I am not as hungry so I am eating less, eating better and chasing the kids around outside. Completely normal. When they tried to find the baby's heartbeat he kept jumping around and she had lotion all over my belly by the time she was done chasing the baby boy around.

I wrote yesterday about the baby, and I thought of another difference. With the first two pregnancies I did not gain any weight until the last half, last trimester of my pregnancy. With this one, I gained it all at the beginning and now am at a standstill. Thank goodness I stopped gaining as I was getting worried that I was going to be one the ladies who gained 50 pounds with this pregnancy.

I am now at the point where I should be going to the doctor every week, but he asked if I wanted to come in next week or just wait until my 37 week ultrasound. I figure since I have not had any problems, this is my third child and I always go late that I would just see him again in two weeks. He was fine with my decision, so I go back on the 23rd of June for my ultrasound.
