Week 31

What's Going on in There?

This week little man is the size of a pineapple.  I feel like that is finally a good comparison, something I can actually imagine. He’s about 18 inches and 3.5 pounds.  I still remember when the little squirt was only an inch or two big and weighed an ounce.  Unbelievable how it all changes so quickly! All 5 of his senses are now working and he is starting to turn a little pinker from all the fat he is gaining.

Maternity Clothes? 
Only dresses this week.  So thankful I have a bunch that will work for the office!

Weight? 
25 pounds.  I’m hopeful I will at least stay under the 35 mark.    

Stretch Marks? 
Just the nice giant one on my butt check.  Lovely.

Movement? 
Such a little wiggle worm.  He seems to have slowed a bit later in the week, but that’s not saying much.   

Food Cravings? 
Nothing this week.   

Anything Making you Queasy or Sick? 

Thankfully no!

What I Miss? 
Well C’s ring ceremony was last night, I can definitely say I was missing some drinks! Oh to have a nice cold Redd’s Apple Ale!

Nausea/Vomiting?  
Nope

Symptoms? 
Just feeling large.  I can’t shave my legs without it hurting my belly anymore either.  So thankfully to have a loving hubby to help me out with that task!

Labor Signs? 
Not at all

Gender? 
Little boy blue!

Belly Button In or Out?
Out, You can pretty much see it through all my clothes.

Wedding Rings On or Off? 
On, though barely.  I told C he needs to head to Walmart and buy me a fake!

Sleep?
I’m definitely beginning to get the dreaded 3^rd trimester insomnia.  It’s not bad yet, but its happening. I now wake up to pee 2-3 times a night and usually lay there for a bit before I fall back asleep.  I’ve noticed myself waking up a lot from tossing and turning at night too. 

 What I'm Looking Forward To? 

C’s first game is on Saturday! I am really curious to how Noah will react during it.  He tends to move a lot when there is a lot of noise (he moved then entire 1.5 hour Beatles show in Vegas) and also at the games there is a very loud cannon that goes off every time the team scores. I am wondering if baby will react by punching or kicking me when he is startled by it!
