31 and 32 week bumpdates!

Almost caught up!


How far along?  31.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Last time I checked I had so far gained 1lb.

Maternity clothes?  Oh YES. 

Stretch Marks?  Starting to wonder if I got some above my belly button

Sleep:  Pretty good, but just less of it as we are moving which means late nights, early mornings and short or nonexistent naps.

Best moment this week:  Signing our lease

Worst moments this week:  Dealing with our (almost) ex apartment community

Miss Anything?  Hard cider and sushi

Movement:  Feeling lots of hands, feet or elbows poking out, hiccups, and can definitely see and feel when she turns around in my belly.

Food cravings:  Chocolate or really anything sweet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Acid Reflux or really bad smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Sore hips and my back gets sore easily.

Belly Button in or out?  Top half is out, bottom half is about flat.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: A bit moody this week I’m afraid.

Looking forward to:  Getting settled into our new place and resolving things at our old place. 



**********************************************************


How far along?  32.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: 5 lbs. Which seems nuts since baby girl is supposedly a bit over 3lbs right now.

Maternity clothes?  Oh YES. And even some of them are beginning to not cover my whole belly.

Stretch Marks?  We have so much natural light in our bathroom now and I’ve noticed lots of lighter marks all along the side of my belly and above my belly button but I am not really sure if they are new or not. They haven’t been red at all but I suppose that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Hmmmm

Sleep:  I sleep like a rock at night and have had a daily struggle keeping my eyes open during the day as I haven’t really gotten any good naps in this week.

Best moment this week:  Seeing Andrew open his Christmas gifts!

Worst moments this week:  Dealing with our (almost) ex apartment community.

Miss Anything?  Hard cider, sushi, beer, lunch meat, etc.

Movement:  It’s getting intense in there- she’s super strong and active!

Food cravings:  Chocolate or really anything sweet.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Acid Reflux or really bad smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  No, but I’m feeling like she has dropped a bit and I’m definitely feeling more pressure/ fatigued much more easily. I know I’ve been overdoing it lately and am beginning to wonder if she’ll make it to February lol

Symptoms: Sore hips, lower back gets sore easily, Charlie horses, pressure, shortness of breath, frequent trips to pee…

Belly Button in or out?  Top half is out, bottom half is about flat.

Wedding rings on or off?  On and loose.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. I’m so excited for baby girl to make her appearance (though she can wait at least another month, thank you very much), and am just loving watching Andrew grow and learn and play – and my heart practically bursts when I watch Jesse and Andrew interact. I can’t wait to see Andrew with his little sister or Jesse with his new daughter. It’s going to make me bawl, I just know it.
 
Looking forward to:  Mid-January!

29 weeks!



How far along?  29.5 weeks!

Total weight gain: Last time I checked I had so far gained 1lb.

Maternity clothes?  Oh yes, so thankful for maternity clothes! LOL

Stretch Marks?  Still no new ones as far as I know.

Sleep:  It’s getting better, thank goodness! I’m usually able to get a little bit of a nap in the afternoon and starting to get better sleep at night too. Plus the OB said I could take Unisom if I needed to so I bought some to have on hand just in case though I haven’t needed it yet…

Best moment this week:  Seeing Andrew react to the Christmas Tree and Elf on the Shelf!

Worst moments this week:  Oh just boring stuff I’d rather not talk about – nothing related to pregnancy though! Not looking forward to the month of January though for sure. It’s going to be mid to late January before we can move or begin getting baby stuff which is crazy stressful for me.

Miss Anything?  Hard cider and beer. And sushi and lying on my stomach and being able to hug my hubby without piking haha

Movement:  Getting a bit more muted – I’m sure she’s beginning to run out of space. But lots of pushing out on my belly and testing the boundaries of my skin lol

Food cravings:  Chocolate. All the time.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Acid Reflux or really bad smells.

Gender:  Girl!

Labor signs:  Nope

Symptoms: Sore hips!! Out of breath easily and get tired easily. Went on a short grocery trip this week and felt like I needed a nap after haha

Belly Button in or out?  Top half is out, bottom half is about flat.

Wedding rings on or off?  On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I’d say I’m beginning to get pretty moody, haha

Looking forward to:  Christmas!
