As of this past Friday I am 31 weeks along. I thought it would be fun to do one of those surveys I keep seeing on pregnancy blogs. Some of them share information like, “total weight gain.” I’m not answering that. I have posted a photo though, you can take a gander!
Size of baby? Baby is over three pounds and about 18 inches long. Long, skinny baby!
Maternity clothes? Oh yes. I’m pretty much exclusively wearing maternity clothes. I’m happy not to stretch out anything from my former belly-less days.
Sleep? What sleep? I drift off and wake up. Drift off, wake up. I am generally up and raring to go at 2 or 3 in the morning.
Best moment this week? I was sitting in a meeting and I felt baby move. I pushed my hand on my belly to get it out of the spot where it landed and the baby pushed back!
Miss Anything? Sleeping on my stomach.
Baby Movement? Baby is ON THE MOVE. I’m trying to count kicks each evening when I turn into bed. Generally, I’m feeling and seeing ten movements well within one hour.
Food cravings? I’m loving potato chips, cereal, cottage cheese, raw vegetables and soup. ’Tis the season for Fudge-Covered OREOs as well. Lucky me!
Foods you’re avoiding? Since about week 14, I’ve been steering clear of pickled beets and anything with Indian curry. Even typing that made me feel a bit queasy.
Gender? It’s a surprise! But…we think it’s a girl. We’ve thought it from the beginning.
Labor signs? None (thank goodness!)
Symptoms? I’m tired after long days at work. I’ve also started experiencing some fairly major heartburn but taking antacid helps.
Belly button in or out? [This is one of those bizarre questions, but I'll answer for inquiring minds] In, and un-adorned without the ring that’s been in it since I was 18. You were right, Momma. I regret the piercing. It’s left a fairly ugly scar.
Wedding rings on or off? On! No swelling to speak of.
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy! Excited to meet this little babe but happy to be just a couple right now too. Apprehensive about labor and birth.
Excited about? Visiting with family this coming week!
