Abby Kate and I returned to the doctor Friday for our 32-week check-up. I'm happy to report that she is doing great! Her heart rate was 135; the doctor says she is measuring perfectly.
The visit took a lot longer than I expected because the doctor was running behind. Normally I'm an "easy like Sunday morning" kind of gal but waiting an extra hour at lunchtime was brutal! Abby Kate and I felt famished by the time my 11:20 appointment was over at 1:00. Hello, Chick-Fil-A! :)
I talked to the doctor about travel and she said I'm OK to travel up until 38 weeks if my pregnancy continues on its current track. She considers Birmingham or Nashville to be "safe" distances. Right now I don't have any plans to take trips but it's nice to know I'm clear for take-off, so to speak, if I want to visit my mom once again before the baby's born.
Sunday I'll enjoy a baby shower at my home church with "old" friends and family. Next weekend my friend Lee is hosting one in our honor and I'm excited to spend time with my TV family. With all this showering we feel blessed and loved, that's for sure!

Baby Updates
Rain washed out our plans for maternity pictures at the Botanical Garden in Birmingham on Sunday.
And rain hasn't been the only thing falling around our house. My emotions have kicked it up a notch - for no reason other than being pregnant. Jeff has been a trooper dealing with sudden tears!
I can't believe how well I'm sleeping at night. I still make 2 or 3 bathroom trips but have no trouble getting comfortable and falling asleep once I'm back in bed. I am, however, now in my 8th month of pregnancy and I've been told these last weeks will be the most uncomfortable ones. Something to "look forward to,"right?
Abby Kate has been extremely active over the last few days. She likes to play with daddy just as we lay down to sleep or right before we have to get up. And by "play" I mean kick him. I'll lay with my stomach to his back and he can feel her bounce around. Saturday morning he told me he is sure she stretched all four limbs at the same time because he felt it. He joked that she must have been telling him to get out of bed and fix breakfast.
We go back to the doctor Friday for our 32 week check-up. Jeff hasn't been able to make it to the last couple of appointments but he's hoping to join me for this one.

Showered At Church
Jeff & I enjoyed our second of five scheduled showers on Sunday; this one at our church.
Abby Kate received several gifts and we had a fun time in fellowship with friends.
