33 weeks - she is the size of a honeydew melon!!!

Today we had our final ultrasound. Here are some pictures. Fiona was definitely on the move and you can tell, some of the images are kinda blurry since she was moving a bit.




The technician was able to calculate her weight, she weighs about 4 lbs 3 oz right now. This weight can vary by a pound either way since it is estimated by her measurements. If she gains the average 1/2 a pound a week then she should weigh about 7 pounds when she is born.
She has been letting me get sleep at night lately (Thank you!) but boy oh boy is she really active during the day and some evenings. I just hope that this behavior of sleeping through the night continues on past birth! Our babyshower was this past Sunday, my family did such a wonderful job at it, as soon as I have pictures I will upload them.

32 weeks = 8 weeks to go. Oh My Gosh am I actually 8 months pregnant?

I have been reading about the growth of the baby in the womb and I don’t know why it struck me as really gross but it did. Did you know that the baby is now able sweat? Yuck! I mean its not like its not a normal thing for people to able to do but still ewwww.

I am no-longer squishy! I walked into a wall yesterday (seriously you know me, this is not unusual at all) anyway, walked into a wall and instead of just squishing up against the wall like you would normally do, I kinda, not sure if the word bounced back is right but it’s the only way I can describe it. I have this hard ball sticking out in front of me now and it is taking some getting use to. Now don’t worry, I didn’t hit the wall hard at all, and Fiona let me know right away that she didn’t appreciate me walking into the wall by kicking me really hard a couple of times.

Today was kinda neat, as you know I have been feeling her move for awhile now, well this afternoon at work I was just sitting at my desk and Fi started to stretch I could feel movement up at the top of my stomach and I would feel a different kinda movement down by my belly button. It was really weird.

Well before I go here is my 32 week belly picture. Cheers!!!!!

Week 29 and Man am I tired!

Before I forget (which seems to be happening alot lately) here is my picture of my belly at 29 weeks.

I now know what some of my friends were talking about on not having any energy. I am so tired, and it really doesn’t help that I have to get up about 4-5 times at night to use the bathroom. (ok sorry enough of the complaining from me)


On to more fun things. I think Fi is going to be a ballerina, mike is hoping for martial artist. She has just been so active lately it is really amazing. Oh and the hiccups are so cute! Mike actually was able to feel them at one point. Just in the last few days you can actually see some of the activity. I was resting on the couch yesterday and had my shirt up where you could see my belly and everyone once in a while you would see this bump come up and kinda roll across my belly. Mike and I both thought it was so weird, weird but very neat at the same time.
