Let the showers begin....31 weeks

I had my first (of 5) baby showers this past weekend and it was amazing.  It was hosted by my co-worker and included a long list of "work" friends.  It was such a good time and everyone was so  generous.  I am a little worried I won't have enough on my registry for 4 more showers.  I am slightly overwhelmed by all of the baby things bagged up in Dominic's room.  Luckily my mom is coming to visit next weekend and I will have some help with the unpacking.  I am starting to think about washing clothes and blankets that I know I will keep.

My best friend came to visit this past weekend too.  This is the first time I have seen her since becoming pregnant so it was fun to share all my preggo stories with her.  We made a list of things I need for my hospital bag and enjoyed an amazing lunch at our favorite restaurant....Olive Garden.

I am a little late posting this weeks survey, but not too much has changed.  The only real difference is that I am getting progressively more uncomfortable....YAY.  I am supposed to be headed into a growth spurt so we will see if next week brings on more changes.

How far along?  31 weeks (and 3 days....a little late this week)


Baby’s Weight: 3.3 pounds (about the weight of 3 navel oranges)

Development: He can turn his head from side to side and is starting to plump up

Weight gain/loss:  I think I might be up 1 pound

Sleep: Getting harder and harder.  I have been much more uncomfortable this week

Best moment this week?  When I realized I could feel specific body parts.  I even pushed on the lumps a couple of times and he moved.  It feels so much more real now :)

Symptoms:  My ribs hurt....he is either jamming his little feet up there or they are stretching out.  Heartburn is still raging

Labor signs?: Braxton Hicks are getting stronger

Movement?: All the time

Belly button in or out?: Still In!

What I miss: Happy Hour!!

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing this week....my bigger problem is how full and miserable I get if I eat too fast or too much
Baby’s Size: over 16 inches long
