(Photo Booth snapshot. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am either non-photogenic, or just funny looking. Oh, well.)*I am 32 weeks pregnant.
*She is super wiggly. Not so much in the way Ana was - Ana was aggressive with hard punches and kicks - but more in a "I can't get comfortable" way. My tummy is constantly moving. Dave thinks it looks like an alien is about to burst out of my stomach covered in goo - very x-files/independence day/any other alien show-esque.
*I am measuring about 4 weeks behind. I was only 2 weeks behind, and 2 weeks ago they did an ultrasound and everything looked fine. But today I went back to the doc and not only have I not grown at all, but I've lost weight. My total weight gain at this point is 6 pounds. If the trend continues, they will do yet another ultrasound next time I go in. I am also anemic.
*I am way more uncomfortable with this pregnancy than I ever was with Ana or Jack. My pelvic bone feels like it's going to crack, I hobble around for the first 15 minutes after I wake up, I toss and turn all night, and I have been getting very bad lower leg cramps. (Though I generally use them as a reason to practice my breathing). Those things make me feel like a whiner, so usually I tell people that I feel great, which is mostly true.
*I am anxious to set up the crib, sort all my baby clothes and get everything ready for the little angel. But I am resisting. Mostly because we want to paint her dresser and the girls' room and I don't want to carry everything up from the basement by myself, and Dave gets done with school on Friday.
*We are super excited for our little girl!!!

Eat more food woman!!!
You are NOT funny looking but yeah... that's not a very good photo of you, haha. Your hair is so long though! And you look so cute with your baby bump - I am quite jealous, you know. :)
I measured small with Lina the whole time. My total weight gain was about 18 lbs. At 35 weeks I started losing weight and stopped growing and everyone freaked out. Lots of ultrasounds and talk about placental degeneration and wanting to induce. But I felt at peace. We prayed and felt a confirmation from the spirit that everything was okay and that we needed to wait. Every week that I went to the doc it was the same thing, and every week they made me sign a paper that said I was going against doctor's orders and putting my baby's life in danger and blah blah blah. But everything was fine. And I felt a little smug when I went into labor on my due date and gave birth to a perfectly healthy 7.5 lb angel. :)
I will pray for you all - I am excited for you and can't wait to hear the news that she's arrived!! (actually, I CAN wait, cuz we don't want her to debut too early and have to stay in the hospital, lol)
I have never seen you pregnant! ;) You look great thought! ;)
Eat more bananas they will help with the leg cramps! Eat lots of milk shakes, they will help fatten you up!
You look super good!!! I hope the little princess keeps on a growin, and that all is well at your next appointment. Good luck!
"hang in there" probably isn't very helpful at this point...but I don't think you are about the cutest pregnant girl I've ever met.
I know it's off topic, but your hair is sooo long! On topic, you look smaller than you did with Jack and Ana. My Doc had me eat a milkshake a day for protien for about the last month when I was pregnant with Cailin because I measured small and the ultrasound had her abdomen measuring small. All was well when she was born. Can't wait to see pictures when she is born, wish I could be there to meet her! Have you picked a name yet?
