31 weeks

Baby is now the size of a: squash, through 32 weeks. This Thursday when when I go back to the OB, we'll be doing a growth u/s to see how big she is. I can't wait to find out! I'm hoping for close to 4 pounds.

Total weight gain: Not sure. I'm guessing a little over 20 pounds.

Maternity clothes: I placed another online order with Old Navy Maternity for some t-shirts, a pair of yoga pants, and a maternity hoodie. I'm starting to think about what I'll need in the hospital and I want to have lots of comfy layering options.

Sleep: I've been sleeping ok. Falling asleep is still hard for me, and I tend to have a lot of stressful dreams. I'm not terribly uncomfortable, but thats because I'm not that big, either.

Gender: Girl!

Movement: I love feeling her move. I'm starting to be able to recognize which body part is which. She's been head-down for a few weeks now and I'm amazed at how long she is. I can feel her head way down low at the same time I feel her kicks up in my ribcage!

Food cravings: Italian ice for sure. That stuff is the absolute best!

What I miss: I definitely miss going for long walks. The weather has be sooooo beautiful and I would love to be able to walk down to the lake. Fortunately I have a reclining lounger in my back yard and I've been spending hours and hours out there. It's the perfect spot for a bed-restin' momma.

What I'm looking forward to: Still looking forward to finishing up the nursery. I got the curtains hung today (bad, I know, but I had to do SOMETHING) and we ordered our recliner yesterday. We the Little Castle Enchanted swivel recliner in MS Cafe. I can't wait to use it!

Milestones: Another week down, another week still pregnant!! The bed rest appears to be working.

Symptoms: Lots of movement, ever-growing belly, hunger, thirst, increased urination, fatigue, sleeplessness.
