31 Weeks/T-minus 9 weeks!


How Far Along: 31 weeks and 4 days
Total weight gain: Still maintaining at 0 lbs gained for the week. I have another doctor's appointment on Monday, so we'll see what the scale says then.
Maternity clothes: Definitely a daily wardrobe requirement
Sleep: Not too good these days. My hips are starting to bother me (I'll talk more about that in the new pregnancy symptom section) and I wake myself up when I turn over because my pelvis hurts so much. Plus, the 2 AM pee/Tums break doesn't help in getting restful sleep. All of this is probably why I took a 4 hour nap on the couch yesterday!
Best Moment this week: Marking things off our to-do list: Our Prepared Childbirth Class on Saturday and Infant CPR last night. I was aware of a lot of the information we learned at the Childbirth class just from work and school, but I enjoyed learning the relaxation techniques and Thomas learning how to give a good back massage. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm excited about labor and I'm ready for it. I know I'll probably change my tune when I'm going through it, but that's how I feel right now.
Movement: She's still kicking, punching, and rolling up a storm. They say as she gets bigger, she won't be rolling around as much, but the kicks and punches will get stronger. I haven't had the pleasure of a rib kick yet, but I know it's coming!
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: Still craving sweets more than anything else. My appetite is definitely a healthy one! We went to Carrabba's last night after our class and after I finished my entire meal, I could not believe I ate that much. Very yummo!
Nausea: I'm not having any nausea really, but there have been two instances this week that I've thrown up while brushing my teeth after I've eaten. Blah.
What I miss: Not sweating in an air conditioned room. Like right now. And the fan is on. Boo August!
Stretch Marks: Present and accounted for!
New/Weird Pregnancy Symptom: My hips start killing me no matter what side I lay on in the bed and even with a pillow between my knees. I've always been most comfortable sleeping on my stomach and I can still kind of sleep that way.
Weekly wisdom: Holy crap. My baby is due in 2 months!
What I am looking forward to this week: My first baby shower this Saturday! Several of my mom's friends are giving me one and I can't wait! I'll post a Baby Shower Blog on Saturday or Sunday. Promise!!
