Just a quick update, so I don't forget all this. It's kinda boring (sorry!).
31 weeks!!!
Due Date: October 4, 2011
Size of the baby: Baby Huntley (according to my book) is about 3.5 pounds and around 18 inches long, the size of 4 naval oranges. I had a dr. appointment this week and she said the baby was probably around 2.5 pounds.
Weight gain/loss: I gained 4 pounds since my last appointment. That brings the total to...25 pounds. The doctor also said that my belly is measuring right on target, not too big—not too small.
Maternity clothes: Ryan and I had to take a little shopping trip to Old Navy to get ole Bethy some new maternity clothes. And I am sooooo glad that I did! I just didn't realize how much I was having to squeeze into some of the pants I was wearing. I am so much more comfortable now!
Gender: We won't know until the baby makes his or her grand appearance! Most people seem to think the baby will be a girl. I did a few online gender predictors this week. According to the Chinese calendar, we have a boy. Some questionnaire thingy: 53% chance girl, 47% boy. The baby's heart rate at the appointment was 150-160, I think that is supposed to mean girl. Can't wait to find out for sure!!!
Movement: I have been feeling the baby move A LOT in the last 2 weeks. I love it!!! Everyone keeps telling me that I will get tired of it. But, I just don't think I will because I've been wanting to feel it so badly! I came home from Iuka with a cold a couple of weeks ago and still have a cough. The doctor said that may be part of the reason the baby has been moving so much...because I'm coughing so much. I'm kinda thinking I don't want to take anything to get rid of the cough! :)
Sleep: I'm still sleeping good. I really can't complain. There are fewer positions where I'm comfortable and I get up about 3 or 4 times to go to the bathroom...but, I always go back to sleep very easily. Knock on wood.
What I miss: My thighs not rubbing together (I am still missing that!!).
Cravings: I haven't really been craving anything lately.
Symptoms: HEART BURN. Weight gain, crazy dreams, itchy belly, leg cramps...is having to move your seat back to get out of the driver's seat a symptom of pregnancy??
Best moment of the week: Definitely both of us getting to feel the baby move!
I was 30 weeks in this picture:
This was Ryan at 15 weeks:
Here he is at 30. Ha!!
Isn't he so much fun and such a good sport?! I'm so lucky! (and yes, we have been in this house for a year and I still need to hang something on the wall!)
Hope yall have a great weekend! Please keep us in your prayers!
