Pregnancy Update: 31 Weeks

How many weeks are you now?
31 weeks, 6 days

Look at my bump size from just 10 weeks ago! It's CRAZY how fast this baby has grown!

Baby's size? 
Coconut per the What to Expect app

Symptoms:
-Occasional heartburn but not near as bad as the one day last week!
-Still feeling tightening and pressure but it's also not near as bad as it was around 26 weeks, thankfully!  I'm also still having the elevation in heart rate with positional changes. I have to take everything slow which is so hard for me and I often forget.
-Shortness of breath while walking (still crazy to me)! 
-No swelling yet...hallelujah (and knock on wood)
-No stretch marks yet (again, knock on wood)
-I definitely can't eat as much as I used to, either...there's just not a lot of room left!

Weight:
So far, I've gained 23 pounds and am right on track! It's SO strange to see those numbers on the scale, but as long as everyone's healthy, life is good! :)

Cravings?
This week, I had an amazing egg and cheese sandwich...and I've been craving another ever since!
Also, I love nice crisp gala apples and I've been craving them as well! Of course, Hershey's chocolate also ranks high on that list!

Aversions? 

Same old same old...fish!

Sleep:

This week, I started waking up around 5:30 or so every morning to potty. I tend to doze back off to sleep until my alarm but it's never a restful sleep. Guess this will be the norm from here on out!

Purchases:
Thanks to Kim's suggestion, I was able to find a glider that I like that was reasonably priced! I ordered it through Bed Bath & Beyond (no Buy Buy Baby around here) and used my 20% off coupon with free shipping. YAY! It should arrive by Saturday....thanks again, Kim!

What I miss: 
Getting my heart rate up and having a good sweat session!

What I’m looking forward to 

 My doctor appointments are once every two weeks now! It's hard to believe that I made it to that part so quickly...she said I'll only have maybe two of those, then I'll be on weekly appointments! The "end" is near, y'all!! Eeeek! 

This month is jam packed with fun activities for us - we have several prenatal classes, our maternity pictures, and our baby shower! I am so excited for all of it! 

I truly have the best friends in the world! They've been busy planning our baby shower and I can't wait to see everything they came up with! It's going to be fun!! :)

We also have a nursery to set up once a few larger pieces of furniture are moved around. I can't wait to have it all together!

Best Moment of the Week: 

I absolutely love feeling baby move around! He also has the hiccups about once a day and those are fun, too! I am so going to miss that part when he's born.

Hope everyone has a great day and an amazing weekend!
