Weeks 30/31 Wrap-Up

In my rush to get ready and leave for NYC last week, I forgot to blog. Oopsies. :)

How far along are you?
At the end of 31 weeks.

How big is baby?
Books/emails say about 3.3lbs, and over 16 inches long. Like carrying 4 navel oranges - a much cuter food comparison, in my humble opinion. :)

Maternity clothes?
Yes, mostly. Or anything stretchy/baggy.

Best moment this week?
The NYC trip!!

Food cravings?
Just food. In general. And making sure I eat breakfast. Maybe fruit more often?

Aversions?
Hot airplanes.

Sleep?
Still going ok - wishing I wouldn't wake up in the night.

Gender?
Girl.

Movement?
Yes! A lot of movement. She is usually very active.

Symptoms?
Swelling feet and ankles. Booo.

What do I miss?
Working out more.

What I'm looking forward to this week?
CS baby shower and all of the people coming to it! Then a dr. appt. on Halloween.

Milestones?
She can now turn her head from side to side, and she is gaining more and more weight!

Week 29 Wrap-Up

How far along are you?

At the end of 29 weeks.

How big is baby?

Books/emails say about 2.5lbs, and about 15 inches long. About the size of a butternut squash, further proving my theory of not having cute/pretty foods to compare fetuses to. :)

Maternity clothes?
Yes, mostly. Or anything stretchy/baggy.

Best moment this week?
First baby shower with so many of our great friends! And another doctor's appointment with a good report.

Food cravings?
Nothing really stands out this week. Allergy medicine? Does that count?

Aversions?
Bending over to get things.

Sleep?
Still going ok - wishing I wouldn't wake up in the night.

Gender?
Girl.

Movement?
Yes! A lot of movement.

Symptoms?
An immune system that doesn't seem to be catching everything.

What do I miss?
Walking normally without really concentrating on trying so hard not to look like I am waddling.

What I'm looking forward to this week?
Let's see...finishing more of the baby bedding!

Milestones?
Starting week 30. Had my glucola test this week. Muscles and lungs maturing, head/brain, bones growing.

Week 28 Wrap-Up

How far along are you?

At the end of 28 weeks.

How big is baby?

Books/emails say about 2 1/4lbs, and about 14.8 inches long. About the size of a Chinese cabbage. (I think we've passed the point of cute fruits and veggies.)

Maternity clothes?
Yes, mostly. Or anything stretchy/baggy.

Best moment this week?
Laughing at Zac who keeps trying to get the baby to move by yelling at my belly and then putting his ear up to it. :) (It did work.)

Food cravings?
Almond Joys. Bought some when I was starving at Target the other day. #snackofchoice

Aversions?
Nothing really standing out this week...

Sleep?
Still going ok - wishing I wouldn't wake up in the night.

Gender?
Girl.

Yes! A lot of movement.

Some leg cramps at night.

What do I miss?
Having more clothes options. :) Buuuut I can definitely handle this for 3 more months.

First baby shower!!

Milestones?
First week of the 3rd trimester down. She can now blink her eyes, which are also sporting lashes. Adding billions of neurons in her brain and more body fat!
