How far along: 31 Weeks!
Due Date: September 6, 2013
Total Weight Gained: I finally gained back the weight I lost, and my weight at my appointment on Tuesday was the same as it was 2 weeks ago.
How big is baby? Our
sweet pea is just over 16 inches long and weighs about 3 1/3 pounds!
How baby is growing: Baby #4 is heading into a growth spurt. He/She can turn his/her head from side to side,
and the arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat
accumulates underneath the skin. He/She is probably moving a lot, too. (He/She is!) {from babycenter.com}
Maternity Clothes: I'm still wearing my regular pants, but I did invest in a few longer, non-maternity shirts.
Stretch Marks: None! I've never had one before, so I'm hoping that trend continues!
Sleep: Sleep? What sleep?!?
Best Pregnancy Moment of the Week: Hearing the heartbeat at my 30 week appointment! That sound never gets old!
Movement: Baby #4 is a crazy mover. He/She is strong and very active! 11 PM-1 AM seems to be his/her most active time of the day.
Food Cravings: Watermelon. I can't get enough of it.
Food Aversions: Almost everything.
Morning Sickness: I still have hyperemesis,
and I'm taking daily medication for it. I'm at the point where
I'm used to being sick everyday. Morning sickness is a
joke. It's ALL DAY AND NIGHT sickness for me!
Gender: It's a surprise! We have never found out the gender of our babies!
Names: If it's a girl, she has a definite first name (it was
actually our 2nd girl name for our 3 previous pregnancies), but we're
still deciding on the middle name. It's the opposite for a boy. The
middle name will be Dayne, after Grant's dad's middle name (he passed
away in October, before we got pregnant), but we don't have a first
name. We have a list, but we can't agree on the name, and nothing
sounds perfect!
Symptoms: Hyperemesis (ALL DAY morning sickness), Braxton Hicks contractions (irritable uterus), back pain, pressure, abdominal pain, anemia, peeing more frequently, headaches, mood swings, and irritability.
Exercise: Treadmill
workouts 4 days this week.
What I miss: Feeling normal. I have been sick since January 3rd! I can't wait to be nausea-free!
What I'm looking forward to: Going through the baby clothes and getting the baby's gear set up!
31 Week Picture: The baby FINALLY moved into position this week. No more sideways baby!
Looking good. :) Almost there!
