31 Weeks

how far along? 31 weeks

how are you measuring? Baby G is on track and an estimated 3 pounder

size of baby? Size of a pineapple

heartbeat? 145 BPM at our last appointment

total weight gain/loss? +2 Ibs.

maternity clothes? All the way

stretch marks? A few

sleep? I get up once maybe twice a night to go to the bathroom, but I'm sleeping ok. I haven't had any dreams, so I think that helps with the sleep too.

best moment this week? I spent the weekend at a ladies retreat for church, it was so nice to get away and hang out with women that I absolutely love. It was a great weekend talking about the labels we put on ourselves or have been given by others and it really made me think about the image I want to give our baby and the example for Christ that I want to be. When I came home, Drew had cleaned out the baby's closet and got it all ready for baby clothes and stuff, and he cleaned the entire house! I am a lucky woman!

movement? Yes, especially when I'm sitting down or laying. This is definitely Drew's kiddo, Drew gets violent hiccups that take forever to go away, and I feel like this baby ALWAYS has hiccups!

food cravings? I love chocolate shakes and Mexican food, but I feel like its mainly the fact that I want Glorias

gender predictions? We will find out May 26th!

what i miss? Nice hot baths, I love to relax after a busy/stressful day in the bath, but the temperature of baths that I am allowed to take just aren't enjoyable, so I skip them all together.
what i'm looking forward to? My second baby shower from my wonderful life group ladies is this weekend.
how are you feeling? Overall good, but I do get a pain on the upper left hand side of my belly that feels better when I'm laying down or arching my back to stretch out my belly (which looks very silly).
