Great heavens, I am exhausted. I'm not sure if this is pregnancy related or related to becoming a stay at home mom (probably both), but I seriously just feel like I could fall over any second. And the to do list just keeps growing.
Yesterday was 30 weeks! Officially 3/4 of the way through this pregnancy. That is CRAZY. Even crazier - full term is only 7 weeks away. I knew the end was going to go fast, but wow, if I could buy an extra 3-4 weeks, I'm sure I could find a way to fill every second!
According to "average" this little boy should be about 3 pounds and 15 3/4 inches long. According to our ultrasound estimate yesterday, his estimated fetal weight is currently 3lb 13oz. And really, he has 2 jobs left to do - put on more weight and stay in long enough for his lungs to mature. Being almost 4 pounds with 10 weeks left, means he likely won't be a small guy, but we've known that for a while.
The ultrasound yesterday was unremarkable for the most part. Fluid remains slightly elevated, but has not gotten higher than it was 4 weeks ago. While his head is still large relative to the rest of him, everything has grown about 4 weeks since our last check. But we will take yet another look in 4 weeks.
As of yesterday's check he was transverse with his head on my right side, butt on the left and feet up. Not sure where he is today, but considering I was kicked for several hours on the right side, I'm going to say that my little gymnast has somersaulted at least once since our appointment yesterday.
Since I started typing this post, he's having the first round of hiccups I've experienced yet. My son had them all the time, so we'll see if this little guy is going to take after his brother in that regard.
Not much else to report this week. I hope I find some more energy soon.
