Bump date: 31 Weeks

How is it possible that I am only 9 weeks away from my due date?!? Seriously, once I hit my second trimester everything seemed to just fly by so quickly. Not a lot has changed since my last bump date, except the fact that my bump has grow tremendously. It's taken some time to get use to my new shape, but realizing that I only have 9 weeks left to carry around this baby around with me everyday


Week: 31 Weeks! (and a few days)

Due Date: I am still hoping for him to come at the end of Aug., but my doctor seems to think that he's going to hang in there past my actual due date of  Sept. 2nd. After hearing some not so fun stories about other mamas being induced, I am perfectly fine with letting him stay put for as long as he wants to.

Size: According to my Ovia Pregnancy App, our baby is as long as a head of Romaine Lettuce.

Weight Gain: Not sure, but I'd be willing to guess that I've put on a cool 30 lbs. YIKES. I don't ask or look at the scale when they weigh me. Weight stresses me out so I'd rather not know for sure :) I've been told that in the remaining weeks I'll gain a half a pound a week until baby boy arrives.

Working Out: None. Other than beach walking every weekend, I haven't done any "workouts" (shame on me) I'm really hoping this doesn't come back to bite me in the booty during labor.

Cravings: None. I just eat.

Aversions: Still not a fan of chicken. Don't want anything to do with it.

Symptoms: The feeling of being tired has come back. Not like it was in my first trimester, but I've noticed that I don't have near the amount of energy as I did last trimester. I've also started to get leg cramps and feet/ankle swelling (not fun in this heat).

Most Excited About: My baby shower! I can not wait to see everyone. I'm having my shower in my home town and at the location of where my husband and I got married! Also, I am pumped about finishing up baby boy's room. Hubby is suppose to paint this week so that we can get the finishing touches complete.

Weirdness of Pregnancy: The weird dreams I posted about have stopped (thank you Jesus!). BUT, the I have developed "pregnancy mask". Yes, I have these weird, random brown patches all over my face (not cute). Thank goodness for full coverage make up! I'm really hoping that they go away once I deliver.

Cleo: Cleo can not stop licking my belly/kissing the her brother. She most definitely knows that there is something in my tummy. I can not wait to see what she is like when he gets here. I am not worried at all about her being aggressive or hurting him (although we know that we need to keep a very close eye on her at all times).

Names: We have a name! It's so fun to actually refer to him by his name and not "the baby". I'm going to hold off on announcing it here, but I do know that some of you may already know his name.

Feeling: Still feeling really good. I have no real complaints. Just feel completely blessed and lucky to be pregnant.
