31 Weeks, Just 9 to go!

31 Weeks!


How far along? 31 weeks, which has kind of freaked me out a little. I am starting to realize how soon this baby is coming and I'm not sure I'm ready. Being a parent to one is a struggle sometimes and it feels like it's been a million years since I had to take care of a little baby. Only 63 more days until my due date...And baby E could come earlier than that!!! I'm really hoping not. I really want this baby to stay in there until at least my due date, but I guess she could come at any time (after the next 6 weeks are over)
Total weight gain/loss: I honestly don't know this week. I didn't weight myself this time.
Maternity clothes? Eh, same old. I can still wear my work pants unless I sit for very long so it will be okay.
Stretch marks? It's weird but I swear my old ones are more faded looking than usual. I am probably just crazy.
Sleep: Terrible. I have started tossing and turning all night and not feeling very rested when I wake up. I've also started having a harder time falling back asleep when I wake up in the middle of the night.
Best moment this week: Colton officially being done with classes so he can be home with us finally. Also, we finally painted the walls of the nursery and I'm starting to get lots of ideas of what I want to do to decorate it. We also went and saw a harry potter movie with Sarah and that was really fun to get out and do something fun.
Miss anything? Sleep. Not getting dizzy, My back not hurting. Not being exhausted. Being able to bend over.
Movement: She's really active sometimes. Nothing really huge though. Sometimes it makes me a little sad that my kids don't have huge movements that I can record like a lot of women do.
Food cravings: Not really. I kinda want a good steak though.
Anything making you queasy or sick:Not eating, eating, I don't get very sick but just some. I am starting to get worse heartburn and that kind of makes me sick. It's nothing compared to when I had Elli though.
Have you started to show yet: Yep. I get confused though because I don't feel very big, but to me pictures of me look like I'm giant. I think she's a little lower than Elli was. 
Gender: I definitely hope it's still a girl!
Labor signs: Nope. I am really really hoping and praying that I make it to my due date and don't have her early. Of course since I wish that not she's going to come at like 37 weeks or something. 
Bell button in or out? In. Always and forever in I am hoping.
Wedding rings on or off? Off. This week my fingers are definitely more swollen than they were though.
Happy or moody most of the time: Overall happy. I definitely am more short tempered.
Looking forward to: we are officially moving out of our Salt lake apartment next week and I'm so excited to be done with that and all just be a family in our house. I'm also starting on a blanked for baby E and I'm excited to get more done on her nursery.

31 Weeks:
Your Baby is as Big as a Pineapple
  • He's going through major brain and nerve development.
  • Eye development, too. His irises now react to light!
  • All five of his senses are in working order.
He's about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds this month. He's getting so big, he's probably crowding your lungs.
