Kelly Belly-31 weeks

How Far Along:  31 weeks!!!  We are seriously getting close!

Size of Baby:  When we scanned her last week she weighed 3 lbs and 11 oz and was measuring a week ahead of schedule.  Way to go Blakely :)

Maternity Clothes: of course ;)

Weight Gain:  I haven't gained any weight the past two weeks so still +22 total.  

Sleep: pretty terrible.  I toss and turn trying to fall asleep.  Then I fall asleep and wake up about two hours later and can't go back to sleep.  I finally start sleeping well at about 5:30 and then either my husband's alarm goes off at 6ish or I have to get up around 8 anyway.  

I am exhausted today and can't wait for the lady that cleans my house to be finished so I can go crawl back in the bed.  I am off work all week.  I did this so I could get lots of stuff done around the house but I am not doing anything today...seriously...going back to bed....

Best Moment of the Week:  Blakely's furniture was delivered and I love it so much!  It is perfect and looks wonderful with her green walls.  Now we just wait for the bedding :)

I bought a new Dyson vacuum cleaner and it is FANTASTIC!!!  Seriously....what a great purchase.  I researched a lot.  I wanted to get the best one for pet hair.  One of our dogs, the jack russell, sheds like a maniac and it has started to drive me insane.  So, I had the carpets and upholstery cleaned last week and then bought the vacuum cleaner.  I got the DC25 Animal.  They have a bigger one just like this one that has a bigger canister but I thought it would be too heavy.  We have a two story house (18 carpeted steps) so I wanted something that was easy to carry also.  I think this will make me vacuum more....my husband does not agree ;) 


I had my 4D ultrasound done this week and it was super fun.  The main reason it was fun is because I got to see my little girl...she is getting chunky!!  I was worried that she would not cooperate because she has hidden her face most of the time.  But she let us get a little peek and she's so cute! 


The other reason it was great is because I got to catch up with my friend Lynne...we worked together for years but she got another job last year so I don't see her as much.  We keep up through FB and text.  We also play fantasy football together so hopefully I will see her more during the season.


Speaking of fantasy football our draft is tomorrow and I AM EXCITED.  I feel like fantasy football needs its own post so I will do one later this week.  

Movement:  yes...all the time.  She moves so much that if she takes a break I start to get worried!  I love just sitting here and watching my belly jiggle.  

Symptoms:   hmmmmm.....let's see

reflux is here :(

exhaustion

pee all the time...if I don't pee right when I feel the urge I start having BH contractions...

low back pain if I have been up for a while

OH and I am a hormonal bitch...just ask my husband....

Did I mention that I am tired?  This does not help the bitch in me....


***I do feel a little better today...not near as unpleasant to be around :)***

What I Miss:  I do not miss anything and I love being pregnant....I do wish I could sleep but that is because I am running on about 2 hours of sleep right now and I AM CRANKY!

Food Cravings/Aversions: I am so super nauseous right now it is not even funny.  I am having reflux and I am nauseated.  I think if I did throw up right now it would burn a hole in my esophagus....not cool but I am used to this...had it before I got pregnant.  

Besides that the only thing that still sounds good to eat is fruit...which is weird.

Gender: princess Blakely :)

What I'm Looking Forward to:  Dr appt tomorrow...will update this post before I publish it 
***went to the dr and everything was great.  He checked my cervix again since I have been feeling pretty crappy the past couple of days and having a lot more contractions.  All was well there and I go back in 2 weeks***

Hopefully getting the bedding in in the next 2 weeks

Being off this week and getting some stuff done around the house.  

My first shower is coming up soon...I need to find something to wear.  

I also need to schedule some maternity pictures...

Weekly Wisdom: If you feel like you need to lay down...DO IT!

Milestones:   hitting 31 weeks!  Also, getting her furniture feels like a milestone...her room now actually looks like a baby room!


Here is the belly this week..
