31 weeks!


How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 15lbs from pre-pregnancy
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? Yes
Sleep: I can't get enough. I swear, I could take a 3-hour nap everyday and it wouldn't be enough
Best moment this week: Having a few showings on the house!
Worst moment this week: Realizing that our house was never actually shown this week (sigh, it's a long story)
Movement: It's dance-party USA (or Soul Train for my older readers!) every day in there!
Food cravings: Not until Greg told me that a burner was out on our grill and now I want some BBQ!
Gender: Still a girl as far as we know
Labor Signs: Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions when I'm super busy at work but over the past couple of days it feels like she has been sitting extremely low (lots of er, cervix pain if you know what I mean). I am planning on asking the doctor about this on Tuesday when I go back. I am wondering if Baby G is getting in position . . .
Belly Button in or out? Still in but getting more shallow
What I miss: My husband being able to be around for all the fun stuff.
What I am looking forward to: Going to Brock's "concert" next weekend! It is going to be so cute!
Weekly Wisdom: When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.
Milestones: Making it through another week in a healthy pregnancy!
Technical baby news: Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.15.2-16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 lbs. The website that I use says Baby G is a squash this month, but I'm pretty sure that this is a pumpkin!
