Week 31 {Single Digits It's Good to See Ya!}

Yeah I know...where is the time going?!  I think I might be one of those that may actually miss being pregnant.  I really have enjoyed my (growing) self and everything that pregnancy has had to offer.  Yeah there's been the fatigue and sore feet but other than those couple of issues, I really have felt great and enjoyed the ride!  I am however getting more and more ready to meet Lil Roper.  What's he going to look like?  Who is he going to look like?  Who is he going to act like?  I am late (again) with this weeks post but considering today is June 15th that means that 2 months from today is my due date!  8 weeks.  56 days.  Seriously?!  This weekend will be shower #2 and I am super excited!  I know it's going to be a great time and I'm looking forward to seeing friends I don't get to see daily.  So since it's past my bedtime...yeah I go to be REALLY early...let's see what's going on this week so I can call it a day!


Roper weighs between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 pounds.  Dr. Turner said on Monday she thinks he is probably around 3 pounds and is about 16 inches long!  He continues to gain weight at a faster pace than he lengthens, which will give him those cute chubby cheeks.  He is about to run out of room as he puts on weight.  Studies say that I should feel about ten kicks an hour...and oh do I!  He is moving around quite a bit in there!  His arms, legs and body are also filling out as he continues to develop fat underneath his skin, making those kicks and prods feel even stronger than last week.  I keep watching to see if I can spot an arm or a foot move slowly across my belly but nothing so far!  Studies also show that sleep is something I should have a problem with but honestly, I think I'm sleeping better as a pregnant person than I was pre-pregnancy.  Maybe just because I'm exhausted at the end of the day but regardless of the reason...I'll take good sleep any way I can get it!
