WEEK 31 | PRINCESS IS THE SIZE OF A PINEAPPLE | 16.7 INCHES | 3.8 LBS
THIS WEEK..... Not too much growing (weight wise for her) went on from last week to this week because baby girl's brain, nerves & eyes are going through so many changes. Her irises now respond to light and all of her 5 senses work!!
MOMMY SYMPTOMS (from The Bump)
- Out of breath, since baby keeps squishing your lungs. (YES)
- Dry, brittle nails, thanks to all that extra nail growth. (NO)
- Braxton Hicks contractions. Be sure you're drinking plenty of water and changing positions often. (YES)
- Leaky boobs. That's baby's first food, called colostrum. (NOT YET)
- Frequent urination. Your bladder's just as crowded as your lungs. (YES)
- Back aches. Be sure to keep stretching. (YES)
- Difficulty sleeping. Aches and pains, your big belly, pregnancy hormones, heartburn and anxiety are probably all contributing. (YES)
How far along? 31 Weeks 2 Day
Total weight gain or loss: 28 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yes. Can fit in some of my pre-preg sweats and some tops
not pants.
Stretch marks? On my boobs waaaaaaah!!!
Sleep: Same as last week. It's
rough. Sleeping on my side is excruciating on my hips and at this
point I flop from side to side like a beached whale. The belly is
painful when I switch sides because of the ligaments stretching. But
its ALLLLL worth it!!! Been sleeping upright as long as I can.
Best moment this week: Feeling her switch positions and her little parts poking places that are higher up then before. It comforts me and lets me know she is really growing in there.
Miss Anything? Laying on my belly.
Movement: Yes. I'm on cloud nine every time I feel her. I am starting to poke back, talk more and really interact with her.
Food cravings: Still.....Lemon Ice, fruit, salad, carrots.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing.
Symptoms: Sore boobs. Just waiting for them to start leaking. I hear that's coming up!! Fun!!
Belly Button in or out? Belly button? What belly button?
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY AS CAN BE
