29-31 weeks, It's getting so close!

How far along: 31 weeks 5 days. 

Baby: Baby boy at 29 weeks is about the size of a pineapple, 30 weeks is about the size of a cantaloupe and 31 weeks about the size of a coconut!  

Momma: I have been super nauseous again lately and just not felt good my doctor thinks it's because of how bad of heart burn I have been getting, that is probably some of it but unfortunately I think it's mostly because of my stressful job lately. 

Maternity clothes: Leggings and sweats are my favorite thing ever. Just the same coulle shirts I have had and the amazing pants from Old Navy with the stretchy waist.

Sleep: Never a fulls nights sleep usually awake for a good couple hours every night.

Best moment this week: Watching and feeling baby boy move all the time! He defiantly likes to make himself known to everyone by wiggling around.

Miss anything: Wouldn't say miss anything. I would like to be comfortable again but I have been enjoying the last couple months of the pregnancy a heck of a lot more then at the beginning. I actually feel pregnant and LOVE feeling him more all the time even if he is a strong little bugger already and hurts me.

Food cravings: Ice cream. Or pretty much anything that I get in my head I HAVE to have it right then, we were going to go to Denny's the other night for dinner and they were packed and all the business around them were packed and literally not a single parking spot (I made Trevor circle the parking lot and surrounding parking lots about 6 times) and we ended up going some where else and it's probably safe to say I was really upset about it.

Anything make you queasy or sick: Not eatting little snacks enough, my doctor told me at my appt the other day I needed to eat more because I was getting dizzy and like I had low blood sugar throughout the day.

Gender: BOY! 

Movement: Yes he moves like crazy!

Labor signs: Braxton Hicks a couple times a week or after a long work day

Symptoms: Nausea. Heartburn. Lower back pain is in full force.

Nursery: Slowly but surely. If I wasn't so indecisive it could probably be done.

Looking forward to: February! I have all of my appointments scheduled up to my due date and there is only six left and the 6th one is two days before my due date so maybe we will be able to cancel that one!! Fingers crossed. 

Little stink would stop moving every time I put the camera on him so the video is pretty short but hopefully I can get a better one soon!

XOXO,

Emily

27-28 Weeks

How far along: 28 weeks

Baby: Baby boy at 27 weeks is about the size of a "bunch of bananas" and almost 15 inches.  28 weeks is about the size of a coconut.  We had our normal doc appt and check up along with our ultrasound with the specialist. He was measuring about 5 days big weighing 3 lbs and 16 inches! They did a full anatomy ultrasound again to check everything out and the specialist told us we had a perfectly healthy growing baby boy!! It's pretty confusing and hard to explain but short version his kidneys grew bigger at a young age and had what looked like a lot of fluid but now that he is bigger and I'm in the third trimester he is allowed up to 10mm ?? instead of 4 I believe of fluid. If it would have gone up more than what it was closer to the 10 then it would still be something to worry about, but it has stayed around the same amount it has always been so it looks good. 

Momma: Tired and uncomfortable. Lower back pain has officially kicked in and sleeping is very uncomfortable. 

 

Maternity clothes: Nothing new just the same couple shirts is all. 

Sleep: Takes a while to fall asleep and get comfortable but then I usually sleep pretty good. 

Best moment this week: Finding out we have a perfectly healthy baby boy! 

Miss anything: Wouldn't say miss anything really. 

Food cravings: Ice cream. Now I'll for sure start putting on the pounds haha. 

Anything make you queasy or sick: Not eating something small before going to bed, and too many sweets. 

Gender: BOY! 

Movement: Yes he moves like crazy and loves to make himself known.  

Labor signs: Braxton hicks every now and then but that's all. 

Symptoms: Nausea. Heartburn. 

Nursery: Slowly but surely. He has a crib and a mattress that's the most important right? 

Looking forward to: February! I'm getting anxious to meet our little man. 

Little man sure likes to wiggle and does not like being watched and getting pictures taken. He wouldn't let us get a picture of his cute face because he was sucking on his toes and fingers so much and had his face right up against me.  Little stink! 

 

XOXO,

Emily
