31 Weeks

How Far Along? 31 weeks!

Size? a pineapple

Maternity Clothes? Mostly! Wearing some regular clothes one size up for the belly!

Weight Gain? as of Monday 22lbs! EEEK! Just saying the number makes me CRINGE!

Gender? Jer still thinks boy, this week I say girl!

Old Wives Tale:  This isn't really an old wives tale but on Monday we went out to dinner for Jers birthday and randomly a woman came up to us and asked when I was due and what we planned to name our little girl. Jer jokingly said "she is having a boy" and the woman said 'no she isn't, she is having a girl!" 

How big sis is doing? We are starting to introduce potty training! The sleeping has gotten worse! Liv only wants to sleep in our bed now which has become a big problem and I'll admit is my fault. I am working with her on it. Otherwise, talking a MILE a minute, talking and saying SO much! It is SO cute!! Also said "My mommy is pregnant" for the first time and it was mind blowing to me that she understands that!!

Sleep? Heartburn has gotten a little bit better this week. I have been trying to eat smaller meals so I don't know if that is helping? I started craving spicier foods but have been staying away to try to avoid being sick which has helped A LOT!! Otherwise sleep has been ok, with Liv wanting to sleep with us I don't sleep well because she is THE warmest child in the world and has to lay on me which makes it hard to sleep! I try not to complain though, because I know this phase won't last forever and I KNOW I will miss it!

Food Cravings? Soup & salad! One day this week Jer and I had lunch at one of our favorite local places and I had my fav soup (chicken & dumpling) and my new fav sandwich...BLT with avacado and parmesan peppercorn dressing on rye/pumpernickel bread...might soup gross but OMG HEAVEN!!! haha Otherwise the usual...anything with bacon, avocado, etc. donuts/muffins weren't craved as much this week!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week!

What I Miss? Being able to bend over! haha Putting on shoes now is a WORKOUT!!

Symptoms? LOTS of cramping and def been getting braxton hicks! Lots of headaches again too but could be from this horrible weather!!

Mood? DEF in nesting mode!! So ready to finish little projects around house! Made a list so I can go to Ikea and started a "baby registry" more so for my memory vs a list for people to gift. Def not expecting any gifts but I wanted a place I could go back to refer to. (and there are REALLY not that many things we need this time around!)

Best Moment of the Week? Doctors appointment on Monday! LOVED seeing our babe on the ultrasound! Jer & Liv both came too. Liv kept referring to the baby as a "monkey" haha Baby is already weighing 3lbs 15oz!! 

Looking forward to: Getting my hospital bag packed (at least started) and getting my hair done this weekend!! :)
