How Far Along: 31 weeks
Size of baby: Baby
#2 is the size of 4 naval oranges. I feel like these things should say, “baby is the size of 4 navel oranges, but actually feels like 16”
#2 is the size of 4 naval oranges. I feel like these things should say, “baby is the size of 4 navel oranges, but actually feels like 16”Total Weight Gain/Loss: +22 per my last appointment, I’ll go back to the doctor Friday, I’m thinking we’re closer to 28’ish pounds these days.
Maternity Clothes: Pictures above is a comfy maternity tee from Target and a regular cardigan from Gap with maternity jeans. Still a good mix of both, more regular clothes than maternity clothes. Thank goodness!
Gender: It’s a boy!
Movement: All of the time, he wakes me up around 2:00 in the morning like clock work with his wild movements.
Sleep: I told Allen all I wanted to do is sleep and eat. Actually I said, “I think about eating a good 50% of the day and sleeping the other 50%” I am SO tired these days.
Cravings: As cliche as it sounds, I’ve actually been eating pickles a ton lately, which is crazy because I don’t even like pickles. Well, I didn’t even like pickles.
Symptoms: Itchy, dry skin is the most annoying symptom of all, and the lovely weight gain showing up on my face. Obviously these aren’t horrible, just annoying.
Best Moment this week: Seeing our sweet boy on the 4D ultrasound, I am smitten.
Last week, we were able to take a peek at baby boy via 4D ultrasound. Honestly, I expected him to look just like his big sister, but I was surprised to see fuller cheeks and a mouth that looks just like mine as a baby. They have the same nose, no denying that, but there are also some obvious differences.
That’s BK in the first picture.
We all loved looking him and watching him move around on the screen. He kept his face covered with his hands most of the time, but gave us a few glimpses at his sweet cheeks. We are definitely sure it’s a boy and he has long legs and arms like his big sister.
Braylen kept us all laughing during the ultrasound. She really wanted to go, so we obliged, but then she wasn’t sure about how long it took. When we left she said, “wow that was taking forever!” Patience, little one. When I asked her is she thought her baby brother looked like her she said, “But, not as cute as me.”
Our hands will be full my friends, very full.
