we had our 32 week appointment with our midwife today. baby's ultrasound came back with all the measurements needed, the heartbeat was strong (baby even had the hiccups!), my vitals are good, and i've only gained 16 lbs! whoo-hoo :)
the only downside to today's session was finding out how the baby was positioned. turns out that baby is head up, not down. our baby was extremely active this morning (and hiccuping a lot!), so it was hard to gage exactly where he was positioned. the midwife thinks his head is in the middle of my belly (which could explain the rippling effect i see above my belly button), with his legs on the right side of my belly (where i feel most of the kicking movements). before our next appointment in 3 weeks, chris and i have homework to do...swimming (good exercise for me and baby, plus it'll promote the baby to go head down), chris can talk to my lower belly (to encourage baby towards the sound), and when i'm lying down we can try to push my stomach and turn the baby ourselves. fun.
8 more weeks to go!

Hope Baby Boy Lok flips over for you soon!
It's actually more comfortable after the baby starts heading south - it gives you a bit more room to work with to breath/eat, etc up top!
