I Suck at Blogging : 31 Week Update

How has it already been almost a month since my last post!?!  I have got to get better at this.  I don't feel that busy.  Most of my time has been spent doing anything but what needs to be done (THE NURSERY) and stretched out on the couch to keep my ribs from burning... I thought it was my bra attacking me... no it's just my organs being pushed up into my lungs :)

Time for some way overdue updates!

How far along?  32 weeks

How big is the babe?  Ready for this??? At our last sono he was measuring 5.3lbs! I am apparently growing a sumo wrestler.  Sounds like doctor will have to keep an eye on this as he is larger than babies his gestational age.  They said they aren't concerned and it doesn't necessarily mean he will come early.  It just means he is big and healthy. Nothing to worry about. :)... yeah... tell that to my hoo ha.  

Total weight gain/loss? Last appointment ( 1.5 week ago)  I was up almost 20 pounds.  I am guessing we will see that number go up even more if this little dude continues to grow at the same sort of scary rate we have seen. 

Maternity clothes? Oh yes... my options are limited these days. You think all of the flowy things you wear pre-pregnancy will work... I mean, they sometimes fit, but they don't always look so pretty. 

Sleep? Ok.  I pee about 5 times a night now.  I feel like this is just pre-baby training so you are used to getting up and being able to fall back asleep. 

Best moment this week? I got to shake by groove thing at my sister-in-law's birthday party.  I mean, Bootylicious came on... how could I resist doing a sexy dance while rubbing my belly.  It was the one and only dance I did though.  Standing up shaking for too long kind of makes you feel like the baby might fall out. 

Symptoms? Heart burn and the rib pain. 

Food cravings?  Still nothing.

Labor signs? Not a one.

Belly button in or out? Still flat and weird looking

Wedding Ring off or on? On. Still no significant swelling

Bump? We are definitely bumping. Since baby is measuring big, so is my bump.  Last appointment I was about 2 cms larger than average at this point. I don't mind at all.  I LOVE love love looking pregnant.
