Pregnancy #2: 35 Weeks Pregnant and Specialist Appointment

I was 35 weeks pregnant on April 3rd.

According to thebump.com he is the size of a coconut.

The Baby
His hearing is now fully developed, and he responds best to high-pitched noises (this is probably why he likes Emma's voice so much).

He is about 18 in log and about 5 lbs, but will continue to gain more fat over the next few weeks.

When Emma was this old her movements were less intense, however his movements just get more and more intense.

The Mama
I am up at least 4 times a night to use the restroom which makes for some tired days. My allergies have really started to bother me this week too and the congestion and cough are driving me crazy. I haven't had any heartburn this pregnancy, but with Emma I had had it a few times by now. We got another donation of clothes, so I got those washed and organized. We still need to hang the pictures in the nursery, hopefully next week that will get done. I got all the bottles and pump parts washed and sanitized. That took several hours. I also got 12 meals prepped and frozen. I still have breakfast meals to do.

The Specialist Appointment
My blood pressure was a tad high at this appointment. My first one the whole pregnancy and I had to beg her not to make me do another 24 hour urine. She finally agreed since I can monitor my blood pressure at home and there was no protein in my urine and it came back down to normal within 20 minutes. I had to have our school nurse check it two days later and then I had my midwife appointment the next week. She said it was high at the midwife appointment to have them do a 24 hour urine.

The baby looked great, still not other issues except the heart. When they were monitoring he was pretty active and kept poking his but up.
