• 31 Weeks…and everything else :)

  

  31 weeks  3 days

  BP: 106/64

  Baby’s HR: 125

  Measurements: “right on”

  Weight gain: 22 lbs

  I am feeling like I am sort of ready to be done being pregnant.  When I’m laying down I feel like one of those bugs stranded on their back, waving their limbs feebly in the air trying to turn over.  The baby is moving good, but I think she seems to be quieter movement-wise than her brothers were.  Maybe in a few more weeks she will be more active.  I am needing naps again during the day, probably more due to being in my third trimester than flu recovery.  The doctor told me two weeks ago that she didn’t think she was going to be a very big baby.  She seems sort of big to me already.  :)  

  I’ve been awfully hungry lately too.  Think I’m making up for the non-existent appetite I had in my first trimester.  Ahhh, what’s another cheese puff or seven/ dish of ice cream/ late night snack of choice??  helping of a well balanced meal??   

  Can’t wait to meet this babe.  Her name has been picked out for quite a while, now, and we’re both quite happy with it.  The boys don’t know it, though.

  In flu recovery news, we all still have some lingering tiredness; Tim still has a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes.  But the worst of it all is my MOM!!!  

  She went home the Thursday we came home, a week and a half ago, and by Saturday was sick.  Fever, coughing, vomiting, very tired, all of it…and she is STILL sick, over a week later, and just got pink eye ALSO yesterday, I think it was.  She has had it as badly as Gabe, who had it the worst of all of us.  Maybe even worse than Gabe.  :(  

  Nothing like sending that splendid little “thank you” gift home with her…

  Favorite pronunciations of late:

  Israel pronounces cheese as “cheech”.  This has been kept alive by Tim, who thoroughly enjoys it.

  Zion calls bagels “biegos”, as they sound like his other love, the show with “Diego”.  :)
