31 Weeks, 6 Days, and Counting Down. . . .

We had a sonogram on Thursday and Kellan should now be weighing 4 lbs. At this point he is bigger than both of my other kids were. I hope I can finally have a chubby baby. Look at his cheeks in the picture, they already look chubby. He would not take his hands away from his face so those are two hands to the left. They at least got him to take his thumb out of his mouth for this picture. The nurse said he wasn't only sucking his thumb, he was gnawing on it! He is going to be like his sister and his mom and be a thumb sucker I think.

The last couple of weeks have been sort of a roller coaster. My blood pressure has been high off and on so for the last two weeks they have been doing non stress tests (NSTs) twice a week and I have been seeing a Dr once a week so that has been time consuming and hard with two kids. When I went to the specialist on Thursday everything looked great though and Kellan is growing great and my blood pressure was lower so the plan is to cancel the NSTs for now unless my blood pressure changes next week. Thank God!!!! My goal with this one is 37 weeks so hopefully we can all make it until the end of July. God continues to bless our growing family and take care of us.

Funny story - Chris just came in while I was looking at your blog and I said "Look - that's April's baby." And he said, "She's pregnant?" I asked him if he remembered seeing you just a couple of weeks ago....he finally said that maybe he did know. Boys!

Oh, that's one of the cutest sonograms I've seen! He's got some Kole similarities for sure! I'm so happy you're feeling better; hang in there and I can't wait to see you!

Love,

I am so glad that everything is going better and your blood pressure is down. Tell Kellan to "keep swimming" and to stay tucked in until the end of July! :)

Ashley's comment has Dori ringing in my head, "just keep swimming..just keep swimming!" Glad that everything is looking better and will be saying some prayers for you and little K. Get in the pool............SOOOO great on your back to float when at the end of pregnancy.
