31 weeks

How far along? 31 weeks, 6 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 30 lbs. Happy to report I went to visit the midwives today and in the past two weeks I only gained 2 lbs! Not sure why because I did literally nothing differently. 

Maternity clothes: Yes, always. 

Sleep: I am about to go to sleep as soon as it hits 8 pm. I was stressed out this morning and have been up since 3:30...no good for this tired mama. 

Best moment this week: We went to our first prenatal visit with the midwives today and I am SO HAPPY with our decision to change practices. We got to see Evelyn and watch her flop around. I feel so comfortable with the two midwives I have met and I am eager to meet the other two as well. Just the whole vibe at the practice is totally different. I love it! OH and we had our maternity pictures taken, which was so fun. I can't wait to see them! 

Miss anything? I miss sleeping in any position I choose. :( Especially on my back, but occasionally on my stomach too. 

Movement: Evelyn was having a one person mosh pit inside of me today. You would think a one person mosh pit couldn't do much damage, but you would be wrong. It was super painful. Then we got into the birth center and she settled down like nothing had ever happened. I have no idea why she suddenly went crazy there. 

Food cravings:  Fruit and cookies. :( I give in to the fruit one all the time...trying to give in to the cookies less! 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Having some heartburn after eating now and also when laying down. I am not a fan and it makes me a little queasy. 

Gender: Baby girl. 

Labour signs: Had some intense Braxton Hicks the other night in the shower. I drank a LOT of water and laid down and they eventually stopped. But nothing else, thank goodness! 

Symptoms: Swollen feet and ankles...thanks summer. Heartburn...wish that had never started. That's a new one this week. One person mosh pit...also new. 

Belly button in or out? Closer and closer to flat! Looking a little bruised too? 

Wedding rings on or off? On! Victory! 

Happy or moody most of the time: I just cry all the time. We showed up a day early to my appointment and I cried. I cried this morning because I thought we were poor. I cried the other day because I thought it was bedtime but really it was only 8 pm. I'm a mess. 

Looking forward to: so much to look forward to, but I feel like I should save it for my next blog post, which will be on time and will even feature the chalkboard door! We are hardly ever home and when we are, both of us are sleeping. So, the chalkboard has taken a back seat to life...I'm just happy to have some sort of picture documenting each week of pregnancy!
