31 Weeks Along

Picture from my family shower on Saturday

Here's a quick update! A post of my baby showers coming soon! It's been a busy few weeks.

How Far Along: 31 weeks

Baby Size: 3.3 pounds, 16 inches

Baby Gender: GIRL!

How much weight have you gained/lost: 11 lbs.

Maternity clothes: Yes!

Stretch marks: Not yet. Let's keep it that way....

Sleep: Sleeping is getting more difficult. My hips ache and rolling over with a giant belly is getting harder. It's also HOT HOT HOT!

Baby Movement: I'm pretty sure she has dance parties in there some days.

Miss Anything: Being able to enjoy the sunshine and summertime...it's just too hot to be outside long

Any Fun Moments to Note: My first 2 baby showers! Our little lady is getting spoiled. (shower blog post to come...)

Food Cravings: Watermelon. It's my favorite.

Sick or Queasy: The heat is starting to make me nauseous at times

Other Symptoms: I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions lately and have to lay down on my left side to get them to calm down. They don't feel very good....

Labor Signs: Nope, hopefully not for a while

Belly Button in or out: Starting to pop out

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both--it's been hard to lay down and take it easy  when I know there's so much I still need to do.

Looking forward to: Finishing her nursery.

Third Trimester!

Today we went to Fetal Fotos for a 3D ultrasound and our little miss wasn't cooperating. She had her hands AND HER FEET up in front of her face, so we couldn't get a good shot. We know she's flexible like her mama and has long skinny legs like her daddy. She is definitely still a girl and has cute little feet, but that's all we got to see. We'll try again in a couple more weeks. It's pretty crazy that I'm officially in my third trimester! Second trimester flew by so fast and now we are on the home stretch. Now I'm feeling like we still have so much to do before we are ready for the little lady to make her grand appearance. My belly is growing so fast these days and I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable. But, everything is still looking great, she is healthy and growing and that's the most important thing. I did fail my glucose screening a few weeks ago, so I had to go in and do the 3-hour test. They drew my blood 4 times in a 4-hour period. If you know me, you know I HATE needles, but I guess it's just something you get used to when you have a baby. My mom was right! I ended up passing the test, so all is well and I can continue to indulge on watermelon and ice cream to keep me cool this summer. It's getting really real! We are so excited!
