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.

BS #3- 22 weeks

22 weeks with Reid, Savannah, and BS #3! 😍 How far along: 22 weeks  Weight gain- up 7 lbs overall. I have been eating more sweets this week and need to reign it in! Buttttt.... Exercise- Reid, Zach, Savannah, and I did take a long walk today in our neighborhood and I’m hoping to do it daily.  Most exciting thing this week- baby girl had hiccups for the first time this week and I could feel them all! Zach also got to feel her a couple times for the first time this week! Same timing as he did with Savannah! So cool! Cravings- sweet, Chick- fil- a, Parlor doughnuts  Aversions/ anything making you sick- not this week! Yay!!! Reid’s thoughts- he still likes to kiss my belly and ran in and talk to baby and tell her how precious she is! One day he told her he can’t wait to see her in October! Savannah’s thoughts- I have started asking her when she’s laying on her changing table if Mama has a baby in her belly and one day she patted her own b...

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                     ...
