8 Months!


I am now 32 weeks pregnant. I am officially done with this pregnancy. I do not want to be pregnant anymore. I was doing really well all up until I hit 30 weeks then everything just came at once. Tiredness, back pain, numbness in my hands and fingers, difficulty breathing, and extreme swelling. I have gained a total of 35 lbs so far. At my last appointment everything looked perfect. Her heartbeat was a strong 160 BPM and my belly measured right at 31 cm. Right on target....even though I look huge I'm right where I should be. The doctor also told me to be prepared to deliver around the end of September instead of October. She said that typically you deliver your second around the same time as your first (I was 3 weeks early with Jakobe) and she also said that since my torso is so small the baby will basically run out of room to grow and will have no where else to go but out. I was super excited when she told me this. I am so ready, David is so ready.....Jakobe on the other hand....has no idea what is about to happen! Oh and Jakobe can stand under my belly and I can't see him. That's how big my belly is!

Do they look alike?

Jakobe's ultrasound picture at 29 weeks. He was 3 lbs 2 oz and his feet were 2 inches long.Callie's ultrasound picture at 28 weeks and 3 days. She was 2 lbs 12 oz and her feet are 2 inches long.
Do you think they look alike? Take the poll to the right.


Ultrasound at 28 weeks

Callie at 28 weeks and 3 days. She weighed 2 lbs 12 oz. Her feet are 2 inches long. She's doesn't have much hair. Everything looked perfect. She'll be putting on weight rapidly from now until she is born. We can't WAIT for her to be here and meet her big brother! She's showing us her feet....I need some heels! She's going to be a shoe person just like her daddy
Yup, she's still a girl! Thank goodness!
Here is a short video of the ultrasound. She likes to show off her feet.
