Week 31: Bump Update

Week 31

May 19, 2014

size of baby: bunch of asparagus 16.2 inches, apx 3.3 lbs

total weight gain/loss: +13 

maternity clothes: even my maternity clothes are getting tight. : ( In the beginning of pregnancy I want my clothes to be tight to show off the bump...now they are tight and my tummy hangs out the bottom. FAIL. Unless we are going out somewhere I have running shorts and one of Justin's shirts on at all times. This week we went a few places so I did have to get pretty a couple times ; ) 

gender: It's a GIRL! 

movement: very distinct movements- I can tell that's a butt, that's a hand, etc. Its neat. Justin feels her every night- He always comments that she is rolling around in there. She loves to move as I'm going to bed- not so great for me. I also still get caught off guard and have to yelp OUCH! a number of times during the day

sleep: well I would sleep better if my bladder was larger & I didn't have to pee at least 2 times a night and my 1st born child wouldn't wake up so early

cravings: crushed ice, sweets, snowcones, snickers ice cream, popsicles

what I miss: being so large- I am currently 2 lbs away from where I delivered Ascher. I know its my second kid but I feel so huge compared to Ascher. I think it has to do with the fact that with Ascher I was working so I couldn't just run and get food whenever I wanted/whatever I wanted. This time...I want some oreos...so me and Ascher load up and go get some oreos and I proceed to eat the bag. : ) 

symptoms: back ache, crampy, Braxton Hicks started BAD on Saturday, swollen feet and ankles towards end of week, lack of patience

thoughts: 

• starting to panic that she will be here in 8 weeks or less & I am NOT ready. With Ascher, I feel like I had everything ready by now. EEEKK perhaps I should go back and read my 31 week with Ascher and see for sure (to ease my mind)
• worked in her room- going thru clothes, putting gold liner & clothes in dresser drawers
• went to Bandera for Memorial Day Weekend with Daniel & Megan

Big Brother (Ascher) news: 

• loves the park- went down the big boy slide at the park this week- big accomplishment over here : ) 
• Uncle Brad showed him color drops in the bath tub back in November- we finally got some this week and he LOVES changing his bath all different colors
• loves to sing, "I Love My Mommy!" -- melts my heart
