Randoms

A few random bits about Harper and this pregnancy...
  • I had an ultrasound at 33 weeks, 3 days and her estimated weight was 5 pounds, 2 ounces.
  • I then had an ultrasound at 34 weeks, 3 days- a f/u with the perinatologist- and her estimated weight was 5 pounds, 10 ounces.  So it appears that she is growing half a pound a week like she should be... it also appears that she will be at least 8 pounds if she makes it to her due date.  Thankfully, the single umbilical artery has had NO affect on her growth or development!
  • The ultrasound also showed that she has hair!  Yay!  (Although it doesn't mean that it is a lot of hair.)
  • She gets the hiccups daily.  Sometimes it's 4 or 5 times a day.
  • For the last couple of months, she has been head down with her body on my right side and her feet pointed to my left side.
  • She is constantly entertaining me with her moving and stretching...
  • I've felt really good throughout this pregnancy.  It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be!  That being said, I have a tendency to over-do it.  I had some very bad groin pain for several days after Jason and I cleaned house a couple weeks ago (I blame it on the vacuuming).  Luckily, I won't have to do any more big cleaning for awhile :)  More on that at another time.
  • My ankles and feet get very swollen by the end of the day.  Both my mom and sister experienced this during their pregnancies, too.  Thanks genetics.
  • I miss running.  A lot.
  • I have not had any big cravings (in fact, I can NEVER decide what I want to eat), but the second I hear Jason pop open a can of Dr. Pepper I MUST HAVE SOME OF IT!
That's all I can think of for now... hopefully this is a start to being a better blogger.  We'll see.
