31 Weeks and 4 Days

All my monitoring of us has shown me some great consistencies of me and you!  My blood pressure has now been fairly consistent for two weeks, the odd morning have been at my normal, but most of the time I have been a little bit higher than normal, but nothing close to what I was (so I am taking that as a good sign).  Your movements are fairly consistent, you are most active usually in the morning hours, and then again around 2 in the afternoon, and then again between 5 and 6, and then again when I am having a shower before bed, and again around midnight(you wake me up then with your movements).  I can also make you active by eating something cold, something sweet or some fruit. 
You still don't move for your dad, last night I was laying in bed while he was getting ready to go and check cows and I said she is going crazy in here, and he said settle down and you were as still as can be as soon as his voice was near.  He has now titled himself the baby whisperer. 
Yesterday I felt great, I didn't feel pregnant.  I knew you were in there as you were moving along with everything I did, but I didn't feel like a whale moving around(until about 3 in the afternoon, then I was a bit stiff), my center of gravity wasn't off, much like I feel this morning!  Yesterday because I was feeling so great, I did some much needed yard work, we weeded three out of four of the tree rows, and cleaned them up - I hope our tree stubs start to grow sometime!  They all have buds on them, so there is life but they are all so small still, the little saplings, I am sure they will grow one day, I hope they will, if our dog lets them.  On top of weeding we also planted all of the annuals which we had picked up earlier in the week, we have flowers in some of our pots and strawberries growing and already producing fruit!  We also cut some of the grass, as much as I could handle, on the mower we did.  We got a lot done yesterday, you and I, much to your dad's protests.  You see the doctor put us on rest, which to your dad means that I shouldn't be going to work still, and I shouldn't be doing anything labourous, to keep you and me safe.  But no one is taking care of the garden and no one is taking care of the things on my to do list, and I don't have the staff right now to not go to work.  SO you and I work slowly through stuff to get it done! And we make a great team!  You seemed to like all the work yesterday, you were a busy bee moving inside of me. 
By the way you were moving yesterday, I think there is a chance that you finally turned around and are upside down awaiting your time to come out.  But I know there is a chance you can still turn around again, as there is still time so we will see what your silly self does. 
Your dad and I love talking about what it will be like when you arrive, even though we don't have a clue what it will really be like, what your personality will be or what your needs will be(how often you will want to eat ect.) But it is fun to imagine.  We are both so curious to how things will be, and what you will be like, and who exactly you will look like!  I was off in my count last week, this week it is nine weeks until your due date, I guess now we are at about eight and a half weeks until then.  And it is crazy to think that there is chance a slight chance that we will could see you in less than that, right now it is safe for you to come out in about six weeks and you could magically arrive on your own in that time. 
Your dad and I love you already, and I cant imagine our love for you growing anymore, but I know that it will, as I couldn't comprehend my love for your dad growing anymore but it has, and there is the fact that people tell me once you are in my arms and I start to see you grow it is in then that I will actually understand my love for you, and it will grow with each day. 
We love you to the moon and back and back again!
