32 Week Update

I had my 32 week appointment this morning and everything is right on schedule! I was scared to go without Mark (he had to drive three hours to a new office this morning so he missed the appointment) because normally, Trent sits on Mark's lap while I lay on the table and the doctor does his thing. We have found a babysitter who Trent really likes and I love but she is out of town for the next two weeks so I had to bring him all by myself! This time, I was splayed out and Trent was trying to investigate the cabinets while the doctor was talking to me. Every time the doctor would look at him however, Trent would hide behind the table I was lying on and then peek his head over to give the doctor the evil eye. The doctor even made a comment today about how Trent always stares him down and it's true. Trent does not like the doctor which is weird because he is normally such a happy little guy...shy, but happy. He want's nothing to do with Dr. A!

I am measuring correctly and the baby is about 4 pounds. I still have low blood pressure which explains why I am light headed a lot of the time but other than that, everything looks great! The heartbeat was at 155 and baby is kicking up a storm, mostly at night when I am trying to sleep. I am also dehydrated which is odd because I drink an obscene amount of water. After the doctor told me that I look tired, he said that I needed a lot more sleep and rest, even if it's just putting my feet up. I had to laugh at this because it is nearly impossible to get any type of rest with a two year old, especially this last week!

I feel like I am getting bigger by the day! My belly button literally feels like it is going to split open and I cannot fathom getting any bigger than I already am but I know that I will. Like I said above, the baby kicks a lot while I'm sleeping but I think that it's because I often wake up lying partially on my tummy and he is trying to tell me to roll over and give him some room! I am sleeping less and less because I have to pee more and more. My back is also aching a bit. So far, I haven't had any swelling in my hands or feet but I am sure that will come as well.

To update you all on Trent...we believe that the cause of the 104 fever is that his last two molars are coming in. I spied them the other night and got a really good look this morning. Unfortunately, they are barely poking through so it seems that we still have a long way to go before they are totally in. Trent's fever is off and on and he is in so much pain! He barely fussed when all of his other teeth came in, but these two seem to be especially bad. Normally, when a kid is sick, they just want to cuddle with mom and that is what Trent did the first few days that he didn't feel good. Yesterday, however, he just wanted to hit and kick me and scream at the top of his lungs all the while rubbing his thumbs against his gums. It was a nightmare!! We had to go to Target and he literally screamed from the second we got into the car until we got home from our trip and hours after that. People were giving me the evil eye but I needed diapers! He didn't want to cuddle or be held...he just wanted to beat me apparently. It's like he's pissed at me for not being able to make him feel better! Nothing has helped...not Orajel, not Motrin, not even ice cream! I felt so bad for him but I had finally had enough of the abuse! He went into a good, long time out and came out a bit better. Needless to say, I hope these teeth pop through quickly. I am over this teething business! 

To top it off, Trent just took his clothes off and he now appears to have a rash from the waist up. It is isn't raised or anything. There are just red marks/splotches just under the surface of the skin. Lately, it seems to always be something with our little monster! Good thing he is so darn cute!
