31 weeks pregnancy update

June 13, 2018

How far along:

31 weeks

Baby is the size of a:

Head of romaine lettuce or a foam finger (think sports events)

Total weight gain:

33 lbs

Maternity Clothes?

Katie commented to me that I pull out a brand new outfit every day. I’m so grateful for all the hand me downs I received from friends.

Stretch Marks?

Not yet.

Sleep?

Well, this week I did something to my upper back and neck and I’ve been in so much pain that nights have been pretty horrendous lately. I’m seeing a chiropractor now and I hope that he can help me get some relief soon.

Best moment of the Week:

Katie and I were able to go on a couple of much needed dates, just the two of us! It definitely made me feel special and has improved my mood tremendously.

Movement:

Constantly!

Food Cravings:

Nothing special.

Belly Button in or out:

In.

Gender:

Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:

Some backaches, some nightly bathroom breaks, rib pains, Braxton hicks contractions and getting out of breath all the time. My mood has definitely improved this week and for that, I’m so grateful. Fingers crossed that it will stay that way. I rather deal with physical pain than emotional pain.

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?

Nothing.

Have you Started to Show yet?

Still loving that big belly!

What I miss:

Feeling good all around. When you’re pregnant, people constantly ask you how you’re feeling and at this point I have resorted to saying “Don’t even ask!” because I’m sure they don’t want to hear about all my aches and pains.

What I'm looking forward to:

We are leaving for a 5-day trip to California this week and are taking Fox to Disneyland and Legoland. I hope I will be okay with all that walking and keeping up with those two, but I’m excited to have one last “hurrah” with him before the baby comes.

What I'm not looking forward to:

Being stuck in the car for 6 hours each way.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do. Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house. He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
