Whew! I love being prego but this week I feel like someone (most likely this little baby boy) has zapped ALL my energy! I feel like I go though the whole day half asleep. I still feel good just so drained all the time and I wish I could do something to help me feel more with it.
How far along:
I am currently 31 weeks and 2 days.
Your Baby in Week 31 of Pregnancy:
Weighing in at three-plus pounds and measuring 18 inches long, your baby is quickly approaching his birth length — though he's got to pack on another three to five pounds before D-day. Also developing at an impressive clip: your baby's brain connections (he's got to make trillions of them!). He's now processing information, tracking light, and perceiving signals from all five senses. He's also putting in longer stretches of sleep, which is why you're probably noticing more defined patterns of wakefulness (and movement) and rest (when he’s pretty still).
Total weight
gain/loss: I think 23lbs or 24lbs but I haven't checked this week. I try not to worry about if I am gaining to much and just enjoy my pregnancy as I know myself and how motivated I am to getting into shape post baby. I love a good challenge so it's actually kind of fun for me to watch my body change. I love watching my belly grow and then having the goal of making it shrink. As long as I stay within the Dr's "healthy" range and gain enough to grow a healthy baby and no to much to get sick or harm the pregnancy I am OK with it. Although, this pregnancy has been harder for me to gain weight then with Kourtney. I think it's because it's a boy but who really knows. Everyone and every pregnancy seams to be so different it really is hard to compare. So instead of driving myself crazy comparing I just really try to focus on being the most healthy pregnant person I can be. :)
Names: ................ I might have narrowed down the list a little over Christmas.... :) Exciting news!
Regular clothes
or Maternity: Half and half.
Stretch
marks: Not yet but I am growing so
we will see.
Sleep:
Sleep this week has been really great. I think I just have been so tired that the second I hit the pillow I am asleep. My really great hubby has also been helping me get in a few cat naps during the day which has really helped my overall attitude and day in general.
Fitness: I am slowing down that's for sure but I still am going to the gym and really enjoying yoga. It is getting hard to get into some of the positions but I enjoy trying and I feel really great after a good yoga class.
Miss
Anything: Cute workout clothes? Cute clothes in general? I always feel so sloppy when I am pregnant. Maternity clothes even though some are cute are mostly so blah. You have a choice of jeans, leggings, and t-shirts.... Especially at this point when I feel like clothes aren't comfortable at all anyway. Nothing really seems to fit "right" at least for me. So I am excited to go shopping after I get back in shape post baby :)
Baby Movement: Yes! Sometimes he moves so fast and hard my whole belly shifts. This is so crazy to feel but really the most amazing part of pregnancy for me!
Anything making you queasy or
sick: Not any food but sometimes when he rolls around I get a little queasy! Just for a second then it goes away but it still is a little surprise when it happens.
Have you started to show yet: Oh boy YES! Show all over!
Labor Signs:
No...thanks god. Because I'd like to bake this little boy just a little longer.Most excited about
after baby: Having a complete family
of four and enjoying our new little addition!
Belly Button in or
out? In for now however I feel like it might pop out
this time even though people told me it won't because it didn't with
Kourtney.
Wedding rings on or
off? On as of today!
Mood: Feeling blessed and thankful to have such a great network
of friends and family to help me out as I get more and more
tired!
Loving being
pregnant: Depending on when you ask I might say yes or no but overall I still love it. Feeling the baby move makes it all worth it.
