31 Weeks

How far along? 31 Weeks


Total weight gain/loss? I've gained a total of 7 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I feel like I've gained a lot more than that but it could be all the swelling I'm feeling and water weight I know I've been keeping on.

Have You Started Showing Yet? Yes

Maternity Clothes? Yes

Stretch Marks? Yes

Sleep? It's getting better, not the pain and aches I feel, but the time I fall asleep. I really think this has a lot to do with Tommy's work schedule, which is bad because he's switching to nights after tomorrow.

Wedding Rings On or Off? On, I think. I haven't worn them since the baby shower and my finger was pretty swelled up at the end of the day.

Miss Anything? I miss my old digestive tract lol I never had heartburn before and I really don't like the full feeling I get after eating a meal, it will last for hours! I can definitely feel how much slower everything is moving.

Food Cravings? Lately, sweets. I'm not sure if this is the reason I failed my Glucose Test or not but I have been eating sweets every day since they're in the house.

Food Aversions? Nothing specific. I've been eating more meat which is making me feel full faster which causes me to not eat very much throughout the day.

How big is Baby? According to Glow: 16.2inches and 3.3lbs. or about the size of a broccoli stalk.

Gender? Surprise

Movement? My doctor said that baby was most likely in the head down position when he checked at the last appointment. I have been feeling kicks underneath my rib cage but it's not fun feeling stretches that compress my bladder!

Labor Signs? No

Pregnancy Symptoms: Heartburn, backache, some sciatica pain on my left side, fatigue.

Belly Button In or Out? In

What I Am Looking Forward To: Getting things ready or finalized for the baby. We don't have a nursery since the baby will be sleeping in our room for a little while until we get a room ready. I also have to get hospital bags packed, buy the rest of the essentials like the co-sleeper, and other baby related things I need to figure out. I think my nesting phase will kick in soon!

Upcoming Appointments/Events: I had a second glucose test done at my last appointment, which I failed, so now I get to do the 3 hour test... I'm going to be so hungry...

Weekly Wisdom: If you have the slightest inclination to go pee, DO IT!

Best Moment This Week? The baby shower! My sisters did a great job and I had lots of people come over. I did enjoy the gender tests the Polish ladies surprised me with! We had lots of Old Wives Tales done but the results are pretty even so we'll have to wait until the delivery to find out.
