Week 31 Doctor's Appointment

This Monday we went in for our 31 weeks and 5 day checkup.  Unfortunately, I had the second appointment of the day for the doctor and he was already backed up almost 45 minutes.  I try now to call and schedule multiple appointments weeks in advance so that I can get the first appointment of the day.  Baby Butterball is doing great.  Total weight gain: 23 pounds.  I had a chance to ask the doctor about the umbilical cord and found that the other end is connected to the placenta which all comes out in the after-birth.  The biggest question I had was if I was still ok to fly.  The doctor said flying is fine at this point so I'm packing up Baby Butterball and we're headed to New York for the weekend!
