Single digits!

This is my 5:30am face...


How far along?  31 weeks.  Thirty-freakin'-one weeks.  Nine to go...  This week, baby is about the size of a pineapple, between 3-3.5 lbs, and I can tell that he's getting bigger- little man is starting to run out of space!
 
Total weight gain/loss: Over the last 4 weeks, I gained 7 (7!) lbs.  I have been retaining water and experiencing swelling, so that has contributed to the extra weight gain.


Maternity clothes?  Yes.

 
Stretch marks? 
I found one on my inner thigh (I'll silently sob over it a bit).  I'm grateful that it isn't in an obvious spot though.

Symptoms:  
Decrease in appetite.  I get full very quickly.  A bit of heartburn lately.

Sleep: Still okay- waking up about once a night, but last night I think the baby moving actually caused me to stir at one point.  I woke up to movement.


Best moment this week: Putting the crib together and actually feeling like we might be getting closer to being ready to bring the kid home!



Obligatory bump and crib pic.

Have you told family and friends:
 Everyone knows.

Miss Anything? Being able to squeeze through crowds.  At my sister's bachelorette party, I couldn't make it up to the bar, so I had to send in another sister to get water for me all night.

  
Movement: It's weird how much the movements have changed since I first started feeling him.  Now, it's a lot more rolls and shifting, rather than kicks and jabs.


Food cravings: Still no cravings.  But I am loving cherries and frozen grapes right now.  It's hot and those are some of my favorite summer foods.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Blech.  Chicken.   Blech.  Shrimp also still sounds nasty.


Have you started to show yet: Getting bigger every day!


Baby is a: BOY

Belly Button in or out? 
Still in, but I can flatten it if I gently pull up on the skin around my belly button.

Wedding rings on or off? 
I'm just wearing my wedding band now.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy.


Looking forward to: Luke comes home on Thursday night, and then we have our birthing class on Saturday, and our couple's baby shower on Sunday that is being hosted by Kaitlin and Hans.  I feel so grateful to have such awesome friends who want to celebrate this little guy with us!
