How far along: 31 weeks
Baby’s size: 4 Oranges – Your baby now weighs as much as four naval oranges. (Length: over 16 inches, head to heel)
Sleep: Sleep has been fabulous lately! I have been sleeping through the night and only once in the last week have I had to get up for the bathroom.
Maternity Clothes: Definitely. Some of the clothes I have for maternity are getting to small.
Food Cravings: I have been kind of craving Clam Chowder, but I think that is more because we are here in Seattle more than a pregnancy craving.
Food Aversions: Still no spicy. 🙁 I tried some pepper oil at a pizza place (it’s like red pepper flakes but in oil form) and it was too spicy for me. I miss slightly spicy.
Symptoms I have: I cannot bend over to tie my shoes now. I tried yesterday and got them tied, but was squished and out of breath after every shoe.
Doctor’s Appointment: 4/10 – first appointment with Seattle Midwife.
Movement: All the time. Sometimes I can see my belly move and sometimes Darrell can feel it.
Belly Button: The upper half is starting to stick out a little bit.
Gender: Boy! Edward Julian
What I’m looking forward to: Nesting and hearing EJ’s heartbeat next week.
What I miss: Fitting in a restaurant booth. I love booth’s and the booth today was too small. I barely fit so no more booths for me.
