31 Weeks

31 weeks and 1 day

AHHHH!!! I can't believe I'm 31 weeks already! Is anyone besides me freaking out that little baby E will be here in 9 weeks (hopefully)! If no one else is then I guarantee I am freaking out enough for everyone :) Sometimes its just excited freaking out and other times not so much.

I'm sure everyone can tell that I'm tiny. I've taken my sweet time getting a belly during this pregnancy and at my 30 week appointment they finally said that I was measuring small or below "normal". The bright side was that we would get to have an ultrasound a week later and actually see our little man. So we had an ultrasound on Friday because our doctor thought that baby E was probably way smaller than he should be and was telling us that they would probably have to take him early if he wasn't growing. I just kept thinking...I'm a small person...he is probably just small so he can fit in the space he has. Well good news....baby E is just fine. He is measuring in the 41st percentile in weight (anything above 10% is out of danger) so he is a little below average but not too bad. I laughed when the technician told me his length was about a week or so shorter than "normal". I told her well look at his parents....we aren't exactly giants either :) So he is growing but it is just a little slower than average but he is growing and has no problems right now :) YAY!

- I'm starting to feel more exhausted lately so naps are becoming more common :)

- Little man has the hiccups a lot which are a lot of fun to feel. He has also started rolling around more.

- I'm still exercising almost everyday but just not quite as long anymore. I'm loving that I still can though cause I don't know what I would do if I couldn't.

- I'm still able to wear all of my pre-pregnancy pants like normal (no rubber band trick yet) :) I have had to get rid of a few shirts though til after June cause they just aren't long enough anymore.

- I'm still craving fruit all the time it seems like! My most recent has been watermelon...I would eat it all day if I could :)

- I'm starting to get slightly more uncomfortable at night but its not too bad yet and if I wake up I'm usually able to get back to sleep pretty quickly.

We are getting more and more excited for our little man to arrive! I love imagining who he is going to look more like or act more like. I love feeling him move around and I totally don't care when he kicks me repeatedly. I'm sure the emotional wreck I am most of the time is really not fun for Mike but I know it will all be worth it when we have our little guy :)

*Thank you for putting up with me sweetie. I love you!
