| 31 Week Bump Shot |
How far along? 31 weeks- 8 months- 3rd trimester WE'RE REALLY IN THE 8TH MONTH???!! WOAHHHH BABY!!! Time is flying!
Total weight gain: 145 lbs, same as the last two weeks... puts me at 20 lbs total so far.
Maternity clothes: Yes (though there are still many comfy clothes that do the job).
Stretch marks? Still nothing- thank you Palmer's!
Sleep: This weekend was wonderful- I slept anywhere from 9-11 hours each night. I wish I could do that every night, and it would make my week so much better, but unfortunately, I'm usually up until 10 emailing every night these days. I just can't focus in the office with a lot of interruptions, presentations, or meetings scheduled throughout the day.
Best moment this week: Celebrating Valentine's Day with Adam and knowing I'm officially his Mrs. Koehler. We missed him a lot while he was gone. He's gotten so good at making sure my towel is heated up in the towel warmer before I get into the bathroom, and opening the garage and making sure my car is heated up before I leave for work. So three days without him meant some pretty cold mornings (since we're in single digit temperatures here) and some extra aches and pains from having to lift the garage up and down (but still better than having to clean off my car each morning).
Miss anything? This morning for the first time in a long time, I actually craved a cup of coffee with creamer. I didn't end up making one, but I will say coffee for this week!
Movement: Yes, this weekend since I was so relaxed, he actually got calmer too, but at work all week he was kicking up a storm. I'm also more talkative at work in general than I am at home, so I wonder if a lot of his moves are responding to my voice, which is so cool and sweet to think if that's the case.
Food cravings: I'm dying to go to Outback- I want Steak, Bacon, Cheese (especially bacon and cheese on french fries, haha- I blame Daddy for this one, as this is one of his favorite foods! Must be the Little Guy's cravings too!), bananas, and slushies. I've actually gone out in the snow with cups, filled them up with snow, and poured juice over them to make juice slushies. SO GOOD!!! :)
Anything making you queasy or sick? Seafood. Adam made fish one night, and even though he lit a bunch of candles, I wanted to hurl.
Gender: Still BOY!
Labor signs: Nesting/organizing things, and I've had a few Braxton Hicks contractions (I think!)
Symptoms: Heartburn, frequent urination (I feel like I have to pee 24/7), exhaustion, congestion, abdominal aches and pains, back ache
Belly button in or out? It's totally popped out- if I don't wear over-the-belly pants, you can totally see it! It's so weird/gross! Ugh- praying it goes back in right after! haha
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or moody most of the time: This week, started off moody, unfortunately. The beginning of my work week I was all over the place- I had to give a presentation each day, and drive around to a bunch of meetings, and I just felt totally scatterbrained. Not sure if I can blame it on pregnancy brain though. I was also trying to get everything together for Adam's Valentine's Day surprise (I officially changed my last name to Koehler), so that was a lot of waiting in lines or on the phone for things to happen. But once the weekend set in, I was very happy once again. Sleep and relaxation do wonders, especially when you're pregnant!
Looking forward to: Landon's Baby Shower this weekend!! I have been so excited for this day to see all of our family, friends, and spoil this Little One for his arrival. I feel incredibly blessed that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law have planned this day for us. I could simply burst from happiness. Also, my friend Rachel is flying in from Baltimore for the shower. Her flight gets in Saturday morning, so we're going to go get a late breakfast, then have a day of pampering with pedicures and a prenatal massage for me and regular massage for her in the afternoon. This weekend will be wonderful- I've just got to get through the work week first! :)
