How far along? 31 Weeks
Total weight gain: 24lbs....yikes! Maternity clothes? yep, basically all i wear now. My new favorite piece is this Tank Top from Gap, it's getting warmer and all my non maternity tanks can't keep my boobs under control! The thicker straps on this one are definitely "essential" ; )
Stretch marks? still doing good!
Sleep: waking up with heartburn pretty regularly. started sleeping with a tower of pillows and it's helping a little. Also, absolutely have to have pillow in between legs at night or my hips are so f'd up the next day it's impossible to walk about. I haven't had any extreme pregnancy dreams, but this week I have been dreaming a lot about labor and meeting our little boy. In one dream he was born with LOTS of black hair (which is unlikely) and was literally the cutest thing I could imagine, but then he grew a beard just like Eric! It was so freaky and disturbing but pretty funny.
Best moment this week: Not really baby related but we got a new couch and rug for our living room. I have been unhappy with this room for the last three years so finally getting it updated is a HUGE deal : )
Miss Anything? sleeping on my belly, having a glass of wine at Saturday lunch with the in laws, staying up past 10.
Movement? Yes, trying to enjoy the last few weeks that he will be able to squirm around in there. He's suppose to be going head down here any day, he was breach at our last appointment but he still has plenty of time to flip!
Food cravings: Still ice- yum! Blueberry eggos, and these <-- I literally could eat two boxes a day if I didn't feel so ashamed of myself! In my defense they are only like 45 calories each.... : )
Anything making you queasy or sick: just heartburn, yuck.
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: i have been trying to pay close attention to any tightening, but really don't think i'm having much yet-which is good!
Symptoms: breaking out AGAIN, thought that was gone... and just feeling huge and uncomfortable.
Belly Button in or out? can your belly button burst? sometimes i feel like mine may just literally pop and just leave a hole or something. it's gross- i hope it goes back to normal.
Wedding rings on or off? since I have been eating 10lbs of ice a day my swelling has gone down a bit, but i still only have my band on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Excited!! & nervous. I'm nervous about delivery and breastfeeding, I like to be a women with a plan but realistically you can only prepare so much, I am definitely scared of the unknown!
Baby Gear: Our backordered rug FINALLY is here! & I found a crib sheet that I love love love. Now we just need to put up shelves and frames and then i'll be ready to post nursery pictures! :D
Here's a few extra pictures just for fun :)
That's the Gap tank that I want to order in every color. Notice my obnoxious pregnancy boobs being kept in line- thanks Gap!
Oh, and just a little baby wave. :) My mother in law pointed out that he may come out with 7 fingers...uh oh. :)
