Bumpdate: Week 31

How Far along: 31 weeks

Baby's size: length of a pineapple, around 4.5 lbs

Weight loss/gain: Up 12 lbs total, and really hoping to slow that down.  I can't pretend that I'm not responsible, because  I feel like I'm constantly hungry!  It's a vicious cycle!

Sleep: Still getting up at least once a night, every now and then it is twice.  I sleep awesomely until about 2 am, then toss and turn after going to the bathroom. I have done a little better about getting back to sleep until about 5:50 when Zach's first alarm goes off.

Gender: B-O-Y

Movement: We can see him moving my belly all around when we lay down at night and it is so fun to watch!

Best Moment of this week: Birthing class and seeing Zach wear the empathy belly! (Sorry to report I won't be posting pics.  They are adorable, though! He asked that I don't and for once I'm listening to him! Haha!)

Looking Forward: Spring break starts at 3:00 tomorrow!!! Woo hoo!  Also looking forward to an empty weekend where we can relax!  Annnnnd for those who are counting, it's just a little over a week from our first baby shower!  So exciting!

Food cravings: Nothing in particular, I am just so hungry.

Weirdest Food I ate last week: Nothing

Anything making you feel sick or queasy: Nope!

Symptoms: Legs and back hurting after a long day at work.

Dr. Appt: 4 days until the next appt.  I can't wait to hear my sweet baby boy's heartbeat!

Workouts: Nellie and I went on a walk!  Woo hoo! We are doing better!

What I miss: Not much!

Things that stink:Not a lot!

Things that don't stink: I repeat, Spring Break starts tomorrow!  I can relax for 9 days and then enjoy my first baby shower!

Mama's Thoughts: I find myself wondering what position baby is in and am really wanting to know.  I am going to ask if the Dr. can tell Monday by feeling, but doubt they will be able to tell until/ if they do another U/S.  They said they usually only do another one if they need to check size/ weight of baby.

Daddy's Thoughts: At birthing class, we did an ice breaker where we signed a space on other people's paper that matched our feelings.  Zach signed his under "I'm just so excited to be having a boy!" So cute!

Baby: He moves around so much even during the day.  I think he is already pretty strong.
