Week 31

Baby W this week…

-Baby W is going through major brain and nerve development these days.

-His irises now react to light and all five senses are in working order.

Size of the baby?

Baby W is the size of my most fav fruit ever...pineapple!!!!

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

+22 lbs @ my 30 week appt this week. I have another appointment next week so the 32 week update will have the latest!

Maternity Clothes?
It's just starting to turn spring in MN. I can't wait to wear a few maxi skirts I bought with sandals. Temp is rising and snow is melting...very good signs that it's closer to wearing those things.

Stretch Marks?

Still none...whoop whoop!

Best Moments?
Spending time with our family this past weekend was a pretty fabulous moment along with my sister getting engaged. Getting lots of belly rubs...which I actually don't mind.

Movement?

He is very good at staying active and moving around. I'm always feeling him. He's keeping his mom from worrying :)

Food Cravings?

Mainly water and milk and fruit with lots of juice. I haven't had mac and cheese in a while and I am totally ok with that. Not really craving it anymore.

Anything making you queasy or sick?
Nothing really.

What I miss?
I missed not being able to have a nice glass of wine @ Easter dinner...but I really look forward to a nice Summer Shandy this summer :)

Nausea/Vomiting?

None

Symptoms?

Frequent bathroom breaks during the day (not at night though). I stand up and then realize I have to pee and rush to the bathroom. Still getting bloody noses and leg cramps.

Labor Signs?

I've had a few Braxton Hick contractions that are very painful. Has only happened a few times.

Gender?

BOY

Belly Button In or Out?
It's out!!!

Wedding Rings On or Off?

Still on and not even getting tight. No swelling (knock on wood) yet and I hope it stays that way.

Sleep?

 Due to work being so demanding these last couple weeks of tax season, I'm getting more like 6-7 hours of sleep a night, but thankfully it is all uninterrupted (unless I get a leg cramp).

What I am looking forward to?

We start labor & delivery class this week! I'm looking forward to that and finishing up house projects this weekend for my shower the following weekend. Only a few items left :)
