I already sense that I am going to be bad at this and these updates will be weekly at best. I just wanted to throw in a pregnancy update. The big things: last week was our 3D ultrasound re-take and it was INCREDIBLE! Allen and I are so in love with little Lorelei (as are her grandparents.) She is so cute and funny and stubborn :-) And I can already see myself in her! It is so amazing how God made her in His image, but lets her bear our images as well.
Today I spent some time in triage getting monitored. I did not want to go when I called my OB with a general question (they sent me; I did not ask to go!) It turned out being good that I went since now I am getting treated for some infections and apparently am dehydrating. But the single coolest thing was getting to lay there and listen to my little girl's heart for two hours. I also heard every move, hiccup (I swear she gets them 4 times a day!) and kick. I did not bring a book with me so I really had nothing to distract me; I just got to listen to her be alive. I am still in awe that I am carrying a life in me. How very blessed!
Here is a common pregnancy survery for fun :-)
* How far along?: 31 weeks, 2 days
* Total weight gain: about 15 lbs
* How big is baby?: I think the last thing I read said about 3ish lbs...maybe more.
* Maternity clothes?: I still have *some* non-maternity clothes that work, but nothing that needs to button or anything :-) I love my maternity clothes!
* Stretch marks?: chest and my appendix scar
* Sleep?: interrupted all night. Still getting about 6ish hours because I go to sleep as early as I can.
* Best moment this week?: our 3D ultrasound. Incredible! And hearing her heartbeat for several hours today.
* Movement?: Pretty much all day. But more rolling and jabbing than kicking. And the poor thing gets hiccups all the time.
* Food cravings?: chocolate ice cream
* Labor signs?: no, thank God!
* Belly button in or out?: finally out :-)
*Sex? still very much a girl :-)
* What I miss: ?? Sushi. And not feeling exhausted all the time.
* What I'm looking forward to: Allen's and my "babymoon" this weekend!
* Milestone: now in the single digit weeks!
