31 Week Update

Size of baby:  Baby Boy is over 16 inches long and weighs 3.3 pounds, about the weight of four navel oranges.

Total weight gain/loss:  +22.5 pounds.  I didn't keep a record of my weight gain with Maddie, but I know I gained over 40 pounds.  So unless I pack on a lot of pounds in these last nine weeks, I don't anticipate breaking the 40 pound mark.  Yay!

Maternity clothes:  Same as the last 8 weeks, but now I can add that I have a dress to wear for Baby Boy's shower.  :)

Gender:  Boy

Movement:  He loves to hang out on my right side.  I can feel him dragging body parts (hands, feet, elbows, knees?) along my side and that can be painful.  I really wish I could see inside my tummy so I would know exactly what he's doing in there.

Sleep:  Not good.  I still have a hard time getting comfortable and rolling over is horrible.  It also doesn't help that Maddie has been waking up around 2 or 3 AM for the last few nights.

What I miss:  Being comfortable.

Cravings:  Like I've written before, I'm eating a lot of sweets, but I don't think it's really a craving.  I think it's lack of self-control.  :/

How I'm feeling:  Shocked that we're in the single-digit countdown!  Nine more weeks!

Highlight of the week:  See above.  I still can't believe it.  If he's early like Maddie, it will be more like a 7.5 week countdown!  Eek!
