Week 31 Bumpdate!


31 weeks! 9 more to go :)

Mommy and Peanut!



How far along? 31 weeks - 9 more to go :)

Baby size: A winter squash; approx 2.5-3.8 lb and 15-17 inches in length

Maternity clothes: Loving them! Anxious to wear my summer dresses soon.

Stretch marks: A few new darker ones on top of my belly, and my old ones are starting to brighten up some.

Sleep: Not horrible, but getting more uncomfortable.

Gender: GIRL!!!

Best moments of the week: Feeling Peanut move around constantly :) Buying some new things for her and for Meredith. Oh and the warmer weather!

Looking forward to: My doctor's appt next week. Love going to them and checking to make sure she's growing as she should. Hopefully we will pick an induction date in the next few weeks.

What I miss: My energy level! I get so tired so quickly. Plus my belly has been hurting/stretching more then I remember it doing with Meredith.

Movement: All the time! She moves, kicks, jabs, rolls over, stretches out constantly. You can tell she is not at all happy about her living quarters. Meredith was so much more docile then Peanut is. I can't wait to see what her personality is when she's born.

Food Cravings: Fruit and Starbucks frappe - had 4 venti ones this weekend ;)

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing in particular, I just get sick whenever my body feels like it needs to.

Labor signs: Lots of pelvic pressure and Braxton Hicks, nothing new though.

Symptoms: Pressure, heaviness in my belly, back pain, leg cramps, Braxton Hicks, swollen feet, fatigue, lack of energy.

Belly button in or out? Dead even with the rest of my belly.

Wedding rings on or off? On, but I take them off at night because my fingers swell so bad at night.

Mood: Excited and happy. Can't wait to meet our little girl here in just under two months :)

Nursery: Getting things moving along slowly. Organizing and cleaning out the closets so I can start transferring things around. Tom got the car seat out of the attic so I could clean it up and get it ready. It's all put together and ready to be installed in the car. Which I will probably do the first of next month. Meredith helped me with it and was so proud :) Washing all the newborn clothes, burp clothes and receiving blankets. Going to try and organize the changing table this week. Taking this weekend off so we can start moving things out of Meredith's room. Received some new crib sheets and blankets for Peanut and got the mattress for her crib. Once we get Meredith moved out we can put the crib back up. Anxious to get a lot done this weekend.

Profile pic. I feel like I have really popped this week :)

She's growing!

Looking forward to: Spring! Had a few teases this week of nicer weather. Can't wait for more warm sunny days.

What I miss: sleeping comfortably!

Movement: Constant! She was moving so much at my doctor's appt this week, it took her forever to find the heartbeat because she just kept moving around.

Labor signs: nothing real yet :)

Mood: Happy :) Enjoyed hearing her heartbeat again at my doctor's appt - 160 bpm and I'm measuring right on at 30 weeks. Oh and relieved, I passed my glucose test! So no 3 hour test for me, yippee!!!!!

Nursery: Finally starting to get things rolling. Started cleaning out the nursery closet this week. Hope to get to Meredith's new closet so I can start transferring things over soon.

Baby girl!

I feel like I'm really beginning to pop this week!

Big Sister won't look at the camera for anything.
