25 weeks and appoinment

We had an appointment on Tuesday. Baby is doing great, heartbeat is 147 (which is very boyish), and I measured 24. I've gained 6 pounds so far, and I'm still below starting weight with Noah. Urine test was clear- no more infection and no ketones! Probiotics galore did the job. =)

Kat talked about birth supplies and some of the options we have for after baby is born. She talked about this herbal bath thing we can do after and it sounds amazing. And she was talking about how Zach or I could do the baby catching part- she would provide support through crowning and once the head is out, provided there's no cord in the way, Zach or I could grab the baby. That made me super excited! I've been daydreaming for a few weeks about pulling the baby out and putting him on my chest. The thought of finally being able to hold LB makes me very excited an teary-eyed. I'm so excited.

LB is still transverse, which isn't a problem yet. Kat mentioned doing some poses from spinningbabies.com to help him (....or her) get into a good position. I think baby should generally be head down by 28-30 weeks or something. So we're still ok for now, but I'll add the poses to the end of my prenatal yoga workout.

Symptom wise... I feel mostly fine. I've noticed a little bit of heartburn over the past few days, and my feet are swelling a little. No big deal.

So that's about it.
