How far along: 31 weeks - I can't believe we will be meeting our little boy in just 9 short weeks! Being pregnant has actually made February go a little faster than I remember it going in the past... I typically dread January and February because the weather is so terrible and the days are just not that happy... this year they are almost over before I really had too much time to be unhappy about it which is awesome. Hopefully March will bring more spring like weather :-)Size of baby: About the size of a pineapple (see photo to right)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: up about 10 pounds from pre-pregnancy - still on track for my goal to only gain 20 pounds total although I should probably start watching the intake of junk to make sure I don't blow it in the last 2 months :-)How I'm Changing: No major differences this week - sleep is a big challenge and I'm tired basically all the time.
Maternity Clothes: I am running out of things to say here... I did get several compliments as I wore my new shirts this week so they were a worthwhile purchase I guess :-)
Gender: baby boy
Movements: He has more active days and some that are less active.
Sleep: Not good.
How I'm feeling/Symptoms: Tired and uncomfortable. Lots of abdominal aches this week.
What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi
Cravings: I'm mostly just loving the junk food and all the other food for that matter. Really food in general is my friend right now as long as I don't eat too much of anything at one time.
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Not a lot happened this week. We had our birthing class yesterday which was pretty informative. We were lucky enough that one of the dads in the class was actually an anesthesiologist at the hospital where I'll deliver so he provided some good insight into that aspect of delivery should I choose to have an epidural or need to have a c-section. We got to have a tour of the maternity ward and overall I feel a lot more comfortable about the whole process.
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: Scheduled two of my nanny candidates for in person interviews in the next couple of weeks... Have to call next week to get set up for a new patient forum at the pediatrician's office that we like. I have my breastfeeding class on Monday - that should be interesting. I think that's about it for now... still need to get my hospital bag in order so maybe that will happen this weekend.
