31 Weeks


How far along?  31 weeks – the size of a head of lettuce.
Symptoms:  Frequent bathroom trips, sluggishness, mild back aches, heartburn, fatigue, some shortness of breath like my lungs are being crowded up against other organs
Total weight gain/loss:  +31
Maternity clothes? Yes and having a need to buy bigger maternity clothes! I'm trying to make do with what I have because in the scheme of things, 9 more weeks doesn't warrant the cost.
Sleep:  Poor as usual. I sleep on the couch in 2 hour increments. 
Best moment this week:  Had a nice Labor Day with my husband. It wasn't anything too out of the norm, but being able to share some relaxing moments with him is probably going to be few and far between when Lucy arrives.
Movement:  She's been a little off her normal schedule. Not a lot of movement Tuesday, but tons of all day movement Wednesday and Thursday. She's still a night owl. And now her movements are starting to hurt -- she'll stick out a foot or butt and leave it there! 
Food cravings:   Nothing in particular.
Gender:  Girl
Labor Signs:  No.
Belly Button in or out?  In. Though I'm sure everyone thinks I've popped; I have this old scar from when I removed my navel ring that juts out a bit right above my belly button.
What I miss:  Sleeping on my stomach, sleeping in my bed, cocktails, being comfortable, being able to go for more than 1 hour without an urgent need to pee...
What I am looking forward to:  Making some more progress in the nursery (the dresser should be arriving soon!) and VERY excited for my family/friends baby shower in two weeks, too.
Milestones:  Single digit weeks til my due date!! I'm now at the point where it seems just around the corner in a lot of ways. 

In other news, I'm clearly unprepared for baby according my overdue Bump tasks. :(
