I am so thankful to be writing this post. Ask me last week if we would make it to 31 weeks and I probably wouldn't have been very confident. 29/30 weeks were definitely the hardest ones. With constant contractions and all the pre term labor symptoms I was thinking we would be meeting this lil guy soon. Now I feel like we have things under control. I have been having great days with few contractions here and there but NOTHING like before. I am finding new energy and strength but also spending plenty of time off my feet so I don't over do it.
Last week I was telling Alex I just don't know when it will be the last picture of this bump and I KNOW i am going to miss it, so I had him snap a few pictures of the girls and I. I definitely still want to hire someone in the next couple weeks but I thought we could have some fun (which we kinda did) and get at least a few good shots (which we kinda did ;) )

How far along: 31 Weeks
Total weight gain: 20 pounds.
Maternity clothes: nothing yet!
Stretch marks: Just what I've had from the past. I've been using honest belly balm morning and night. The veins around my belly button are scaring me so I have been slathering on the cream like it's my job.
Sleep: Some nights are really great and others are completely horrible. On certain nights especially when Alex is working I take a unisom so I can SLEEEEP my doctor recommended it when I was dealing with anxiety.
Best moment of this week: I found Alex in the nursery one night putting together the diaper bag all by himself. He had sewn the handle without me asking and then filled it with all the cute little things we've picked out for him. It was the sweetest thing to wake up to.
Miss anything: My body without a baby inside it.. you know what I mean. I am just so ready to have my body back.
Movement:He moves like crazy, like fireworks going off at all times ;)
Food cravings: Redvines
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing making me sick this week,
Have you started to show yet: Absolutely!
Gender: BOY!
Labor signs: braxton hicks and real contrations
Belly button in or out: IN but getting flat
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody most of the time: Anxious and excited to meet him.
Looking forward to: Finishing the Nursery hopefully in the next couple weeks and getting a few friends together for a little shower.
