Pregnancy Progression: Week 32ish

As you can see from the above picture, I am feeling well. This pregnancy has gone by incredibly fast. We had an ultrasound today. I am 32 weeks today; Baby Sister is measuring 31 weeks. She is in the 46th percentile for size. I have been measuring on the small side of normal for this pregnancy, but my doctor is not concerned since she is growing well. He is planning on doing another ultrasound in a couple of weeks. Pregnancy notes: For the past couple of months, I have had to be quite particular about moving when I first wake up or I will get some major charlie-horses in my calves. Maybe I need to drink more water, eat more bananas, ...?

Baby Sister is quite a mover. During our Christmas vacation, I learned that she is a fan of classical music, particularly of the Nutcracker. She began dancing about as soon as the music began, stopped during intermission, and then promptly began dancing about again when the play/music resumed.

James seems to be aware that indeed a baby sister is coming. He points to the ultrasound pictures on the fridge and says "baby sister" "heartbeat" "pah-pum-pah-pum." He likes to "cuddle sister," which means I have to sit down so that he can lay his head on my belly.

A more traditional, non-blurry picture for posterity.
