31 week and 5 days

How far along? 31 weeks and 5 days.... 

Total weight gain/loss:  17.4 lbs today, but 18ish yesterday.  Whatever.  Not concerned as long as the baby has gotten lots bigger by Friday when we have our next ultrasound!    

Maternity clothes: I live in Ingrid and Isabel leggings.  Every.single.day.  

Stretch marks? No?  Not sure.

Favorite things this week: 80s music.  I had a really hard day (or two!) Sunday/Monday, and while I'm sure it was partly hormones, sometimes you just have to re-focus, listen to Rick Astley, and move forward!   

Miss Anything?  My white jeans.  Cute normal outfits.     

Movement: Sometimes lots, sometimes none, part of my bad Sunday/Monday was because I worry when he's not moving enough.  

Food cravings: Protein and veggies and real food.  Work lunch yesterday was Tartine... as in, baked goods only.  Super fun that someone taskrabbited it in to the office (best bakery in town!), but after eating only pastry my tummy was mad.   

Gender: Boy.

Labor Signs: Don't think so.  

Symptoms: Lots of baby hiccups, and still having lower tummy area pain, but nothing that is on the list of red flags the doctors have given me.  

Belly Button in or out? In, although hubby is convinced it might not stay there.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or Moody?  Very much both.  My Sunday/Monday meltdown was surrounded on both sides by days where I've been happy about LOTS of things.  A friend's Facebook status just said "I can't have it all, but I can decide if I'm okay with what I do have."  I might rephrase that slightly for myself, and say that I can try to accept what I do and don't have, and choose to be happy.  I have a lot to be grateful for, and a lot to look forward to.  Going home every day to a truly great husband and the fluffiest dog in the world, having a new baby in a few short weeks, and so much more.  

Love, S.
