31 Weeks is here!


I realize that at our shower this weekend, I mistakenly told family and friends I was 32 weeks. Well... at least I wasn't too far off! 

how far along?  31 weeks
how are you measuring? On track? I think this week was a big growth week. Suddenly my belly button has shrunk. :/
size of baby? We'll find out at our appointment on Thursday!
heartbeat? 156bpm at our 29 week appointment.
total weight gain/loss? + 16lbs? It's kind of a guess since I haven't been at work to weigh myself.
maternity clothes? Maternity pants and mostly maternity shirts. I did wear a non maternity shirt to my shower this weekend and that was nice to know for myself. Ha!
stretch marks? None so far on the stomach. I just keep waiting to see them, though.
sleep? Restless. Wake up, turn over, fall asleep. Repeat every hour or so.
best moment this week?  We had our first baby shower! (Post and pictures to come!)
movement? MY WORD. Dr. M guessed he'd be up in my ribs before my next appointment and he wasn't kidding. This morning I felt him on my side and when I reached down to push him over, you could clearly feel either a leg or arm shape. Would have been cuter if it didn't hurt so much!
food cravings? Still ice water. 
what i miss:  Laying on my stomach, bending over, sleeping.
what i'm looking forward to: Our appointment this week. Hoping there's nothing too interesting about it. I would love to just coast along for another 8 weeks or so.
how are you feeling? Bigger. I'm still trying to find the magic answer to heartburn and last night I had a small amount of foot/leg swelling that was uncomfortable. I do have a great nurse-to-be who helped with the leg pain. I got sick this morning, but I think it was just food, allergies, traveling, or a combination of all of the above.
