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!
