31 Weeks!

How far along? 31 weeks! It's going by so fast, 9 weeks to go!

How big is baby? Size of a head of lettuce. About 19 inches long and weighs almost 4 pounds

Physical differences from last week? Baby boy's moving around is definitely getting a little uncomfortable now that he is getting bigger.

Total weight gain/loss? up to about +25 lbs overall. Hoping to slow this down now that the holidays are over.

How I'm feeling? Less stressed and more able to relax now that I've had some time off of work to get stuff done at the house.

What's been on my mind? Just trying to relax a bit before going back to work on Thursday. I know now we are in the final stretches of getting everything ready!

What I'm looking forward to? The countdown to baby boy's arrival is officially in single digit weeks!

Best moment this past week? Setting up the crib and seeing baby's room almost complete! It looks so cute and I can't wait to start using that room regularly! 
Also getting to see baby on the ultrasound in 3D. It was so amazing to see the dimple in his chin and seeing him stick out his tongue and smile at us!




27 Weeks! Third Trimester!

I'm so bad at keeping this up! Hopefully will be better at it since we are now moved into the house and I have a little less going on :)

How far along? 27 weeks! Yay 3rd Trimester! 2/3 of the way there :)

How big is baby? Size of an eggplant. About 16 inches long and weighs just over 2 pounds

Physical differences from last week? Definitely feeling larger. He is kicking a lot now and with much more force. Starting to kick me in the ribs and bladder, which is not such a pleasant feeling. 

Total weight gain/loss? +15 lbs overall. 

How I'm feeling? Sleeping strictly on your sides sucks. My hips are pretty sore most mornings. Other than that still feeling pretty good. Work has been getting a little stressful but I'm just looking forward to my 2 week break coming up in a couple weeks.

What's been on my mind? I found out at my doctors appointment today that I had elevated levels on my glucose test so I have to go in for the 3 hour one :( So not looking forward to sitting in that waiting room for 3 hours. 

What I'm looking forward to? Christmas and winter break off of school, setting up baby's room, and counting down the days until he is here with us!

Best moment this past week? Moving into the house and feeling more settled and ready now that we have more room to get ready to be a family of 4!
