{Wowsers... Look at that belly!!!!!}
How far along?: 31 weeks!! Only single digit weeks left!! Yayyyy!!!
This week, Baby E is the size of a: PINEAPPLE!! Our little guy and momma's belly are getting B-I-G!!
Total weight gain/loss: Gaining, for sure! That's what I'm supposed to be doing, right??!
Stretch marks?: Not yet, but I know they will show up before the end! It's just a matter of time!
Sleep: Sleeping pretty great still! Only a few minor complaints here and there - mainly to do with heartburn and some hip pain. But, I'm pretty exhausted as soon as my head hits that pillow! :)
Best moment this week: First off, it has been a really cloudy week around here, so I'm glad the sun finally made an appearance on Friday! Made it through our all day childbirth class! Whew! Very long, but also had some great information! Started to make things even more real for us! We have also had some very productive days around the house lately (nesting??? you may ask! I'm asking myself the same!! haha!)! Trying to stay active and doing some exercise! I, ALMOST, got in some type of exercise everyday this week! I only missed one day, so not too bad!
{Too many clouds this past week!}
{An all day childbirth class meant we deserved a special treat, right??!}
{Trying to stay healthy for our little guy!!}
Movement: Yup, our little man is pretty active!! hehehe!
Food cravings: Nothing specific! I LOVE ANY AND ALL FOOD! haha!
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Not really! My heartburn sometimes makes me nauseated! Yuck!
Have you started to show yet?: Um, duh!!!! haha! Momma and baby are growing like crazy! ha! :)
Labor signs?: Nope!
Belly button in or out?: In still. However, it's definitely getting closer to being flat. Yikes!
Wedding rings on or off?: Off. Sad!! :(
Happy or moody most of the time?: Hmmmm... it depends! For the most part, happy, but I definitely have my moments! I'm starting to get more impatient with things!! Whoops!
Symptoms: All the same ones! Just getting more uncomfortable, at times! And yes, again, I know I still have a ways to go - so, no need to tell me! Remember, my patience is dwindling some, so don't go and irritate me! hahahaha!
What I miss: This weekend (with the awesome weather!) was the first time that I actually missed being able to have an alcoholic drink while sitting on the deck with my hubby! Plus, I'm still craving a Mr. Goodcents sandwich!!
What I'm looking forward to: Breastfeeding class this wednesday, more baby showers, getting more organized around the house/ nursery, maternity pictures on 5/17/14, and the birth of our little guy!!
Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) The only thing not ready for delivery is your baby's lungs. Amazingly, every other organ is ready! Your baby may weigh as much as a gallon of milk and will double in weight, gaining as much as 17 ounces per week. The bones are beginning to ossify - which means your baby will need plenty of calcium from YOU. Your baby's brain is continuing to grow and the folds of the cerebrum and cerebellum are increasing. Your baby is paying lots of attention to what you are doing and to what is going on around you, so be sure to keep things calm and peaceful. Research indicates that your baby actually feels maternal stress - so keep it at a minimum.
Weekly wisdom: Make sure you are sticking with your exercise (as much as you can!) and eating as healthy as you can! These are both areas that have been getting more and more challenging for me! I'm trying my best though!
We love you, little man, and are looking forward to meeting you! Keep cooking and growing! Lots of love and hugs! Love you to the moon and back!
Love, Momma and Daddy
