How far along? 31
weeks
Baby size: Pineapple, 3.31 lb, 16.18 in (crown to heel)
Total weight
gain/loss: I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, and I have gained 20 pounds. Maternity clothes? Most all of the time unless I am wearing Daniel's tshirts.
Stretch marks? Thankfully not so far.
Sleep: I'm very tired every night and ready for bed early. I toss and turn often in the night and wake sometimes due to hot flashing, but for the most part I can go back to sleep quickly.
Best moment this week: My college roommates gave baby Brayden the sweetest Peter Rabbit themed shower this past Saturday. The food was delicious, and they did a beautiful job on the decorations. I am so blessed that we all still keep in touch and try to see each other as often as we can. And now that we all have little ones, it is such a joy to watch them play together :) I also had a doctor's appointment yesterday. It was very short and sweet with no ultrasound. My blood pressure looked good and there seemed to be no concerns. I will have an ultrasound at my next appointment in 2 weeks.
Miss Anything? Being able to wear my wedding rings without a big red indention on my finger.
Movement: Oh yes!!
Food cravings: Cold fruit especially watermelon and cantaloupe, cereal, Italian foods, burgers/hamburger meat, pizza, and blue G2 Gatorade.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs have not been my favorite the whole pregnancy, but lately they have been giving me throat burn, and I still prefer real food over desserts any day.
Have you started to show yet: Yes
Gender: It's a BOY!!
Symptoms: Lots of bloating by the evening, heavy/swollen calves, throat burn some afternoon/evenings, and I am running out of space in my short torso... the top of my rib cage goes numb (to sleep) if I sit up too long.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off except on church days or any other time I'm dressed up
Looking forward to: Beach trip!! We are headed to the beach this Friday for a week with my parents and brother to Litchfield. I am really looking forward to relaxing and spending this special time with our family and Emersyn before we become a family of four!!
