31 week update


How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +/- 0 lbs. last week; 26.3 overall
Maternity clothes: Yes, and now I need larger shoes due to swelling.
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Though not uncomfortable, I’ve been waking up to use the bathroom then start thinking about stuff and can’t go back to sleep.
Best moment this week: Our childbirth classes. It was fun to do something different together, and it calmed my nerves a little bit about childbirth. Also, finding out private health insurance costs less than I thought it did – very reassuring.
Movement: Lots – always exceeding her kick count expectations.
Food cravings: Oreos.
Gender: It’s a girl!
Labor signs: Braxton Hicks, according to my class, nesting also counts.
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss: Being able to bend over to put my shoes & socks on.
What I am looking forward to: The shower.
Weekly Wisdom: It was nice to learn all the “comfort techniques” at the childbirth class, because even though I’m a stab-me-in-the-back labor plan type of girl, I’m still going to have to go through some pain before I receive my epidural.
Milestones: Less than 10 weeks to go! My uterus grew 3cm over the last 2 weeks, so Baby had a growth spurt.


On a side note, our living room is almost done! We're just waiting on the throw rugs. Then I will take some pictures to post.
