P.O.P

I had my 32 week doctor appointment today and it was great as usual. My blood pressure is normal, I am gaining weight like a water balloon being filled to the top, and Ryan's heartbeat is nice and healthy. I was a little scared when the nurse told me her heartbeat was 131, but she assured me it will continue to drop until she is born.
Dr. Golden asked how I was feeling and I expressed my extreme lower back pain to him and his response was, "You have entered the P.O.P stage of pregnancy. This is when you truly start feeling the pains of pregnancy." I just thought yeah no kidding!! I also love the irony of this acronym, yes you are right I do feel like I should POP. Who am I kidding I really do love being pregnant. There is no better excuse to gain weight and eat what you want!
