31 Weeks

Photo Thoughts: No photo, odd week

How Far Along: 31 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 20 lbs

Size Of Baby: 15.2 to 16.7 inches long, about the size of a pineapple (which now kind of makes me want one....)

Cravings: Well talking about pineapple kind of made me want one right now but other then that nothing really new or weird.  I think I just might be one of those people that doesn't get a ton of cravings, which I think is a good thing because I would probably give in to all of them and then become huge very quickly.

Maternity Clothes: I got to wear my adorable nice dress last night to an art event with my mom and I felt cute and dressed up and like me again, just with a belly that everyone wants to touch (no strangers yet so far only people that know me are doing that)

Stretch Marks: No new ones that I can see but I am going to have to make hubby look for me again because I can't really see the bottom of my belly very well but I don't feel any so we are going to go with just the same ones.

What I Love: Being able to see and feel him move. Last week when he wasn't moving as much, I missed it.  And seeing my belly move when he does makes me feel like I actually have something in there, it is so weird.  Also my hubby gets a mention too because not only did he get me 2 new charms for my bracelet (and got the bracelet fixed because I am me and break every piece of jewelry that I own) but when I told him that I think I had found a book that I have been trying to find again for years (I read it when I was a teenager and loved it but promptly forgot the name and haven't been able to find it since) he got the name and went and ordered it online for me so that I could own it and never lose it again.  (Now I know that really isn't pregnancy related but it was really sweet)

What I'm Looking Forward To The Most: Baby.  I am just excited in general, to see him and get my old body back, where it doesn't do weird things and hurts all of the time....

Worries: Baby.  Yeah I know but I am still on the OMG I have no clue what to do kick and whenever I see a newborn I just think, "Wow, that is so small and fragile looking, I don't want to touch one of those, I'm going to so drop it and kill it...."
Sleep: Weird dreams are back, but I have no memory of them and I did have a couple nights where I just slept horribly, and it has gone on and off ever since but the past couple nights have been my normal conk out and I am gone.

Belly Button In Or Out: Out... and when I wear tighter shirts and don't have 3 layers of cloth over my stomach you can see the top part sticking out  .

Happy Or Moody Most Of The Time:  Happy week, it was a good week, it has been busy like normal but hubby has been really sweet so that has lifted my mood lots.
Symptoms: Back pain, belly pain, acid reflux, headaches, and that is about it.  Oh yeah this is getting fun.

Movement: On and off, some days he will be kicking tons and others he will just move around and not do as much but he is moving so we are all good.

The Belly: Big, getting there, waiting for it to get bigger....

Milestones: All 5 senses are now working. He is continuing to put on weight, his brain is still having a growth spurt., and his eyes are prepared for life after birth, they are open when active and closed during sleep.

30 Weeks

Photo Thoughts:The color of the words are dark again and my shadow on them didn't help but in general a cute picture but just wait for the next one, I have seen the proof for it and it is going to be freaking adorable

How Far Along: 30 weeks, only 10 weeks left!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 20 lbs

Size Of Baby: 15.2 to 16.7 about the size of a cucumber

Cravings: I like to snack on fruit roll ups (and I had been looking in every grocery store for the real fruit ones that you find in the produce section and was not finding them until we went to the most expensive grocery store in town and I found one!!) and M&M's but nothing too big on cravings

Maternity Clothes: I wear them, they make me look pregnant and it is so fun to get to have a new wardrobe for awhile.

Stretch Marks: Still only on my boobs but I keep checking every once in awhile

What I Love: People knowing that I am pregnant, I not only had my first person actually ask if I was expecting I then had another one ask me (the first one had known me in high school though so it was more obvious that I am larger where as the other one was a complete stranger)

What I'm Looking Forward To The Most: Lots of things, the baby shower, getting big enough that I will take maternity pictures, getting to meet him...  Time goes so fast during the week but it still seems like I have so long to go even though it is only a little over 2 months.

Worries: Going into labor, if it happens early (like way early not a week or 2 early) I feel like I would be screwed because I have not read the books that my amazing doula gave me to look at so that I can make my birth plan and I have done nothing because if I read the books then going into labor becomes real and that is even scarier.

Sleep: So according to all of the pregnancy books and apps I should be more tired then ever but I have actually cut my naps back a half an hour (so they are now an hour and half instead of 2 hours) but I still need to get to bad at least by 10:30 but I didn't work a few mornings and one night I got 10 hours of sleep and was then rewarded by being able to stay up until almost 3 the next morning (I had to do a late trip to Vegas and then stayed up for the trip back instead of sleeping)  So I seem to be doing good on sleep still, thank goodness.

Belly Button In Or Out:  Out... my mom says I can no longer say it is half and half but the top part is still sticking more out then the bottom. 

Happy Or Moody Most Of The Time:  I had to spend a few days away from my hubby which is always hard for me so I would have to say moody.  

Symptoms: Back pain is back full swing, and I am ready to go and get a professional massage in hopes that will make it better for at least a bit.  Other then that, headaches still, acid refux which then makes me want to not eat at all.  And the top of my belly likes to hurt which I was told is from my organs getting pushed around to make room for the baby.

Movement:  So it was weird, he wasn't moving around as much but it wasn't to the point that I was worried it just didn't seem to be as much kicking, more just scooting around and changing positions.

The Belly: Getting big, I am feeling so big and I am almost at the point where my stomach is bigger then my boobs (not just yet but it is getting pretty close).  And I realized I am so not one of those woman that have a nice tiny pregnancy belly, it is taking up my whole front.  I have a wide looking belly (when in reality I don't think I am actually wider it is just making me look like I am)

Milestones: The hair on his head is getting thicker and his toenails are growing.  His skin is getting smoother and he is now strong enough to grasp a finger.  His eyes can move in their sockets and he is becoming more attuned to sound, taste, and smell.
