31 Weeks Pregnant

Hello all here is another week we really only have 8 weeks left and then the blogs will be about my our family of 4!! That still cannot believe that we will be 4 not 3! Rilee has begun to grow more and more over the last couple of weeks I swear she has grown up and out haha. She is a bottomless pit she can eat ALL DAY!! We had Rilee's doctors appointment today for her hearing and we found out that she will be having a left hearing aid put in and then we will be starting the process on getting her the right cochlear implant done! Larry and I have been pretty much normal, I have been hurting more with my pelvis, back, butt, legs and everything. Larry has been doing his thing which is WORK WORK and more WORK!! At least he has a job and that is the main thing. My school has been going well it has been a little over a month and I am about 20% through the course which is pretty good!!!

The update on 31 weeks is that Reagan moves more when we talk to her now and when Rilee goes up to my tummy and talks she really starts moving. I think Rilee knows what is going on, in some perspective she kisses my belly and she tries to feel for her to kick (or she is just being a love girl and pushing on my stomach I have no idea haha) I have really started feeling different kicks now as her body continues to grow, the kicks I have felt are WAY harder and they hurt. Reagan weights approximately 4 pounds this week, and she should be 16 inches in length. Her belly is Buddha-like, round and hard because her liver is busily producing red blood cells. Some babies have a full head of hair by the 31st week of pregnancy, and if she is anything like Rilee she will have A LOT. It's common for babies to hiccup at this stage and for the hiccups to be strong enough to wake you in the middle of the night (which hasn't happened yet but I am sure it will I still have 8 weeks left). If Larry and I want to have some fun, we can shine a light on my stomach to see if Reagan's movements change. I can also press against my stomach to see if she answers me with a kick and boy does she kick hard!!!!

My baby shower is approaching and will hopefully have a lot of fun with that. We really don't need anything except for little things but I would love to be around friend and family just celebrating another life coming into this family. I only have 6 more appointment before the scheduled C-Section which I am getting more and more anxious for her to be here and for Rilee to be a BIG SISTER!!
