Well, as of today I am 31 weeks preggo!
I surely can’t believe it. Thinking back over this pregnancy brings mixed emotions. The first 3-4 months were tough. To put it lightly. (okay…lightly for a wimp like me) I experienced days, weeks, and months of sickness and I did NOT think pregnancy was my thing. But after about 15 weeks I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And I must admit these past couple of months have been absolutely great! I feel practically normal except for the constant movement in my belly. :)
I have energy and am so thankful to be feeling so good. At times I forget I have this big belly. The other day when it was snowing I said I wanted to find a hill to go sledding down and my Dad quickly told me “You do NOT need to be rolling down any hills!” O yea…I guess that wouldn’t be a good idea.
I am now in Texas and will see my new OB/GYN on the 21st. I will also get a sonogram done that day and I can’t wait!! I am so curious as to what our baby boy is shaping up to look like. :) He definitely is an active little booger. I just love it.
I still eat all throughout the day. I can’t eat much at one time because I get super full and then feel like my stomach is in my throat. That has happened a couple of times and gosh is it miserable. (Last night was one of those times. Thanks Ochoa's.)
I had a baby shower in Hawaii before I left and had a really great time. I will miss those ladies SO much. I also got some really awesome gifts for Cayle. I can’t wait to show him everything!! I am looking forward to my showers here in Texas and seeing all of my family and friends that I haven’t seen in FOREVER.
I try to stay up on my “baby progress” by reading books and researching online. As of this week, Cayle is about 3.5-4lbs and could be up to 19in long!!! That just blows my mind. I wonder if I will find out his measurements at the sonogram appt. on the 21st??? I hope so!!
Well, not a lot has changed as far as my cravings or health goes. I can eat pretty much whatever and I feel great. I couldn’t be more thankful.
We do not know if Morgan will be able to fly home for the birth. We won’t know until the time comes. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope he is able to. Being separated during this time in our lives is tough..and I am sure it will only get more tough. But I have decided to look at it like this: We are climbing a mountain. Each day that goes by is one step up the mountain. When we finally get to the very top we will be together again. No looking down…because it will only make me weak at the knees…just look up..and keep climbing. God will get us through.
30 weeks. Watching the super bowl with a super full belly...slouchin' in my chair:
I guess this will be all for now. Until next time....be blessed!
