31 Weeks: Pineapple

How big is baby: Baby is the size of a pineapple this week 15.2-16.7 inches and 2.5-3.8 lbs.  

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Waking up multiple times per night now.  Usually only getting up to go to the bathroom once at night during the week.  My hips are starting to bother me again.  And it's getting harder to roll over.    

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Still fruit and more fruit.  Sweets are now added to the mix.  Brownies, cookies, you name it.

Exercise:  Walking, YMCA. 

Gender: We'll find out in October!  

Movement: All the time.  Some movements are getting a little painful.  I'll take it though :)  

The belly:  Definitely there.

What I'm spazzing about:  Nothing really this week.

What I'm loving:  Feeling baby move all the time.  And still feeling pretty good myself too.

Symptoms:  Sore hips at night.  Heartburn...mostly just reflux right now.  Terrible back pain at work.  Numb patch at the top of my uterus.

What I'm looking forward to:  Organizing the nursery this weekend.  I know, what's wrong with me.  I just really like to organize! :)  And I have my last shower in one week!  I get to see so many people I haven't seen in forever so I'm really excited!!  My BFF and I are having breakfast on Friday too, and I can't wait :)       

Best moment of the week:  Knowing everything is a-ok with baby today at my doctor's appointment.  Baby has a good, strong heartbeat.  And I had my work shower on Tuesday.  Everyone was so incredibly generous.  I really am so lucky!

I now have an unexpected u/s scheduled at my next appointment in two weeks.  I'm measuring about a week behind.  My doctor said that based on all of the textbooks, that's perfectly ok. But their office is super conservative and likes to do a growth u/s if the patient measures 1cm or more behind (I'm at 1cm).  She said that she's betting everything will be perfectly fine and I should just look at it as another chance to see baby before the big day.  Surprisingly, I'm not really worried at all.  Just anxious to take another sneak peak at baby :) I know, who is this person???  I usually freak out about everything!
