Holy belly! Went for my 35-week scan and doctor visit, which went well. Little bébé was so active and wiggly during the scan again, which seems to be his MO, so it was tough getting a photo of him. But look! He has a nose! And fingers! Insane. Seems as though he spends a lot of time with his hands in his mouth. Both B and I saw the photos and were like “whose nose is that?!” but I’m just gonna go with the fact that these 3D scans are kinda wonky and with the partial view of the face, it’s really just hard to tell what he actually will “look like”.
My blood pressure was good again, so the doctor says there’s no reason to think we’ll have to induce early. Very early on in the pregnancy, I had a couple higher BP readings at the doctor’s office and they thought I might have an issue. Ever since then, I got the at-home cuff, and I think taking it at home often has made me less nervous when I go into the doctor’s. Plus since I was coming off of a miscarriage, I was a bundle of nerves every appointment for a while there. I think the early high readings were just nerves + a little white coat syndrome. I’m just happy it seems to have evened out now.
In other news, Callie has been an even bigger snuggle bug lately. I feel like she can definitely tell there’s a baby in me and it’s making her cling to me more than usual. I’m totally down with it. I will be her nap time pillow forever.
I also finished a second baby blanket, same as the one I made for my peanut, for the Etsy shop! I completed it in 8 days (over the course of a workweek, so really, like, two weekends). Not bad, huh? It was my first time doing a ribbed border like that and I LOVE how it came out. I’ve been getting some views of the shop but no bites yet. I just need more listings, I think. Next up: gonna make some scarves and smaller things to add to the blankets I’ve already got listed. I’m definitely enjoying doing it so I guess that’s kinda the point.
