Week 31

Date: 8/2/15

How far along: 31 weeks

Fruit-size comparison:  Pineapple

 

Maternity clothes: I'm mostly in maternity clothes, but I'm surprised that I still have a few shirts and yoga pants that  fit me.  

Stretch Marks: Not yet.

Sleep: My sleep has been on and off lately.  Some nights I sleep really well and other nights I wake up after my second time going to the bathroom and can't get back to sleep.  This  week I'll be camping so we'll see how that goes.  I'm not looking forward to having to get up during the night to use the bathhouse.  

Best moment of the week:  I'm not sure if this is the best moment, but I had a good doctor's appointment.  My weight gain is on track, my blood pressure looks great, baby boy is head down, and I have minimal swelling.  It was good to hear that everything is good right before I go on a camping for the week.  I also had two baby showers in the last week and had so much fun and got so much nice stuff for baby boy.  It's definitely making his pending arrival feel more real.  

 

Movement:  I think baby boy is losing a little room.:)  His butt or some other body part is jammed up in my ribs most of the time, but yet I'm still having some pelvic pain so he is using up most of the space available to him.  I continue to feel lots of movement and hiccups and I enjoy feeling him move around.

Cravings: I haven't had too many cravings this pregnancy, but yesterday I was out with my mom when she picked up a dozen bagels and I just felt like I had to have one with cream cheese right then.  I had eaten breakfast about two hours before that, but all the sudden I was starving.  Maybe now that I'm in the third trimester I'll have more of those cravings?

Gender: Boy!  

Anything making you queasy/sick: Nope

What I miss:  I'm starting to miss being limber.  It's becoming increasingly difficult to bend over and turn over in bed and many other things.  I'm still enjoying being pregnant, but I will be ready for him to come in two months.  

 What I’m looking forward to:  I'll be camping all week this week and I love camping.  I'm excited to spend a lot of time at the beach and pool because it feels so good on my pregnant body.  And I just love being outside all the time.  

Symptoms: Baby's constant movement and my growing belly are my most reliable symptoms.  

Emotions:  I'm  feeling really good at the moment.  I'm excited about camping this week and, for the most part, I'm enjoying this pregnancy.
