31 Weeks



 
31 Weeks
How far along: 31 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 9!

Total weight gain: 26 pounds

Maternity clothes: Yes! And it’s getting more and more difficult to find something to wear!

Sleep: It’s been pretty rough this week. Between having to go to the bathroom several times a night, heartburn, leg cramps, and a ninja baby kicking my ribs, I am up quite a bit throughout the night. I'm super thankful for nights where I do sleep well!

Exercise: 4 days of BBM work outs and 4 walks. I usually do two miles each time I go for a walk and sometimes I go by myself and other times I push the kids in the stroller.
  
Best moment this week: We had a really fun week. Last Wednesday the kids and I met my parents and sister at story book land in Aberdeen, SD.  The kids seemed to really enjoy all that there was to do there and it was great to hang out with my family for the day.
Another fun thing was that Andy and I had a sort of date/anniversary weekend. We took the kids to Andy’s cousins for an overnight on Saturday and then went to a wedding of one of his friends from high school and then we stayed in Bismarck. The kids had a blast with their cousins and we enjoyed our time away as well! There is something so nice about sitting through a wedding/reception and having dinner without having to chase anyone around or worry about anyone else's food. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE being a mom, it’s just nice to have a break every once in a while!  
One other great thing I got to do was take photos for Andy’s cousin’s family Sunday night and then also take photos for some friends on Monday night! We had two really beautiful evenings which made for some great photos!

What I miss: Being comfortable. I’m getting to the point where something hurts most of the time. My back. My hips. This week my ribs have really been achy. I’m so grateful for a healthy pregnancy and baby so far but it does come with its aches and pains.

Movement: So much! Still loving it for the most part. Makes me so excited to have our little one and see those cute little hands and feet and elbows and knees that jab me all the time!

Food cravings: Pop tarts! Either strawberry or brown sugar! Yum!

Making me queasy: Not much.

Starting to show: Yes!

Gender:  We will find out in 9 or so weeks!

Happy or moody:  Happy for the most part but I can be moody too depending on how much the kids have been pushing my buttons and how uncomfortable I am. 

Things I've been experiencing this week:  It has been a great week full of family time, celebrating our 7 year anniversary, and taking photos for family and friends!

What I'm looking forward to: The kids and I are heading to SD for a super short trip. I’ll get to take my sisters senior pictures while we’re there and also celebrate my nephew’s 1st birthday!

Size of baby:  Baby weighs over 3 pounds and is the size of a coconut.
