Friday Wrap-up

What a great Friday we had!! Hannah had her parent/teacher conference for Kindergarten and is doing very well. She has started to learn how to read and spell and write words and sentences. We are also working on addition and subtraction. Our little girl is growing up and right on track to enter 1st grade this fall. We are so very proud of her

I had my 31 week OB appt and baby boy is growing well. I am actually measuring 32 weeks which is the first time this pregnancy I am measuring ahead of my weeks. Blood pressure is "golden" (my OB's words not mine) I'm up 5 1/2 lbs which I guess is normal this stage of pregnancy as baby is growing at a rapid pace. I have found it quite amusing at how often Brady gets the hiccups in utero. No joke, he gets them like 6 times a day. I asked my OB about this and she said hiccups are a sign of good health in a baby growing in utero. I never knew that. I feel him all the time and he is quite the kicker. Sometimes he really gets going and my belly jumps all over the place. It's quite the sight to watch. He had been head down but has since turned and his head is on my right and feet are on the left. I think it's kind of helpful to know his positioning so I can decipher what body part knocking against me I am feeling. At least he's taken a break from lodging his feet in my ribs. That was painful.

The c-section date has been set for April 30. I have been told to expect a 4 day hospital stay. Recovering from a c-section is a painful process so I'm sure I'll appreciate the longer stay to get my rest and recover and bond with our new son. It's all coming so soon. I like seeing our girls excitement and the kisses they give mama's tummy on a daily basis. Brady's a lucky little boy to have such sweet big sisters. It's a very exciting time for the four of us.
