31 Weeks


Baby gummy bear weighs as much as four navel oranges. 
(measures over 16in, 3.3 lbs). 
Her energy is surging and all five senses are fully developed.
(See my "Yep, I'm huge" face above)


How far along? 31 weeks. 
Maternity clothes? Dresses, yoga pants, leggings, flip flops and Chucks. Still all I'm interested in wearing.  
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: ha. I go to sleep at night and I'm up an hour later. Kind of like a game. Zoey hasn't been feeling well so we are both up off an on all night.
Energy: I realized my energy went back up a little this week when I found myself organizing and re-organzing baby girl's clothes multiple times. Washed twice. Keeping busy.
Best moment this week: I've started counting kicks and did not realize just how active she really is! She has a routine, same times every day, but the frequency is amazing! Another "best moment" this week, I was at the grocery store, a dad shopping with his two little kids looked at me and then down at his son and said, "See what happens when you eat watermelon seeds." Boy's eyes got huge as he looked over at me. It was pretty cute. 
Have you told family and friends: Yes, and a couple of her "aunts" are soooooooooo anxious!
Miss Anything? Nothing that I know I won't be able to do soon so I'm being patient.  
Movement: She's a busy bee in there! Her dance routines are becoming more complex. She's so talented. :)
Food cravings: Kix. Went to the store pretty late the other night just for Kix. Biggest box I could find because they don't last long.
Food aversions: Eww to meat, pasta and peanut butter. I really don't want anything warm. Probably because of the weather but it just makes my tummy grrr to think about it. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: I can't handle the labor videos we have to watch in the pregnancy classes I've been attending. So I'm a pansy. Last week I actually did have to step out of the room because I thought I was going to pass out. So when the question comes up in the delivery room of whether or not I would like a mirror, the answer is a big fat NO.
Have you started to show yet: My belly button has started to show on top of my belly showing. It's a little nub on the belly. But my button is still an innie. So funny looking! 
Gender prediction: She's a girl. A stubborn little girl!
Labor Signs: Experienced Braxton Hicks contractions for the first time last week. That was interesting! Thankful for Brittany who has already been through this and is there to tell me everything is normal. Symptoms: I'm a little nauseous and lightheaded today. No bueno. Probably because I'm out of Kix.
Belly Button in or out? In, but again, there's a little nub.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy happy.

Looking forward to: Part II of the 3D ultrasound on Thursday. The tech is so awesome to have me come back in because she wasn't happy with the first round of photos. Hopefully baby girl cooperates and let's us see her pretty little face. Saw lots of views of her (daddy size) feet last time. ;)
