Andrew and I went to see Dr. Arronte on Thursday for our 31 week check up. The little boy seems to be doing great! His heart rate was 164 bpm, a little elevated from his baseline. She said that was something they actually like to see. It was a healthy sign and he probably just liked breakfast! They measured my uterus and it measured 31 1/2 inches so he's just where he should be. Finally, he's still head down and hanging over on my right side as he has been since about 28 weeks.
I've started reading about what to do with newborns...since I've NEVER taken care of one! Although I feel like I already have a good idea of how he's going to be once he's born. He has wake and sleep patterns now and definitely responds to different stimuli. He knows when Andrew is talking to him and when I am. My favorite is when our grey cat Roscoe drapes himself across my stomach and purrrrrrs. The baby pokes at him the entire time. I think Roscoe likes it.
