31 Weeks





How far along? 31 Weeks 
Total weight gain: 30 & 34 lbs. I'm posting two weights this week because: the 30 lbs is what i've gained according to my doctor since my first visit at 11 weeks, 34 lbs according to me when i weighed myself the day i found out i was pregnant at 4 weeks. I saw the doc yesterday, and going by their scale, i've only gained 1 lb over the last 4 weeks. Ya-HOOOO!
Maternity clothes? The usual yes, but in this pic the only maternity clothes i'm wearing are the pants. Granted there was absolutly NO way i would've even attempted to button my blazer closed.
Stretch marks? Yes
Sleep: Sleep is still iffy. I sleep okay but get up at least twice a night. I also roll over multiple times because of sore hips. And generally when i do wake up i get REALLY crabby because Aaron has been snoring REALLY bad lately. I'm fine once i'm up in the morning for good but usually surprised that Aaron doesn't have any bruises on him. Ha!
Best moment this week: Again i will say, this question would be so much easier if it was "Worst moment of the week" but i will have to go with yesterday when i found out i'd only gained 1 pound in 4 weeks. I'm still SO psyched about that!!

Miss Anything? Being able to literally just walk without getting out of breath. My pulse was running high yesterday and i'm sure it was because of getting out of the waiting room chair and having to trek down the hallway to the doc's room. That's enough to make me feel like i could use an oxygen mask for a while.
Movement: Of course, i think it's more him shifting around to get comfortable rather than kicking. And still getting the hiccups a couple times a day.
Food cravings: Nope
Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes! Protein powder. I discovered this the other day while doing dishes and dumping out a half un-used shaker bottle of protein powder drink of Aaron's. I stood at the sink for a bit gagging. (sorry Sara) It was beyond nasty.
Gender: Boy

Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: So much rib pain\pressure! Neither baby or mommy can get confortable anymore. Braxton hicks contractions still. Breathlessness, lots of hip\low back pain, and one spot behind my right shoulder blade. (Chiropracter here i come on Tuesday!)
Belly Button in or out? Still an innie, unless he's really pushing out around my belly button.
Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happily counting down the days! 54 days!!!!
Looking forward to: Still hoping for progress on the nursery, it's becoming a very sore upsetting subject. I'm to the point of seeing the doc every 2 weeks now, so that's exciting and going to make it fly by even faster! Now looking forward to my ultrasound which is scheduled for Friday Feb 8th. On my to-do list over the next 2 weeks is to get my hospital bag packed along with the diaper bag, and that is something i do look forward to!
