I love going to the doctor!

Going to the OB is so much fun for me...is that weird?? Notice I said the "OB" not the "gyno"...same guy, totally different experience I'm learning :) I get so much fun info when I go visit him - the baby's heart rate was in the 140s this time, I'm measuring 28 1/2 weeks (i'm 27 weeks) but b/c I'm short (the doctor tried to say it differently but that's pretty much what he meant) I'll always measure ahead b/c i'm more likely to grow out since there's not much else for the baby to go. My blood pressure was 102/60 and I didn't gain any weight since the last appt :) all good stuff! He said the baby will start growing about 1/2 lb a week for a few weeks then eventually 1 lb a week after that. I go back in three weeks instead of four which is exciting! I asked him about all the flu shots and he told me to get both of them so that's on my list of things to do. I've been feeling ok...by the end of the day my back hurts pretty bad. Not my lower back though like more normal pregnant people, it's all in my upper back. Last night i couldn't lay or sit on the couch. I just ended up going to bed so that I could just fall asleep so i wouldn't feel the pain. I think I'd rather an injection every night than that back pain. SO uncomfortable. But I could have it a lot worse so I really shouldn't complain. The baby is moving more now which is awesome...even though it wakes me up and keeps me up at night...just prepping me i guess. It's all good :)
