31 Week Bump-Date

March 10, 2014

 

 

Pregnancy Highlights

 

How Far Along:
31 Weeks, 3 days

Size of baby:
According to The Bump, Baby GIRL is the size of a Pineapple!

Maternity Clothes:
Same as before, I am trying to become more stylish with my maternity choices instead of just shirt and pants, and it has been a little bit difficult, but that is okay, I will work it until its gone..might as well while it is here, yeah?

Gender:
It’s a GIRL! See previous post about Gender Reveal. Squee!

Movement:
This little babe is moving!! Just over the weekend I can actually watch her shift a little bit…not the full body, but I can feel her squirming…and it feels so strange!The kicks are getting more frequent and strong. I still have not felt the hiccups or the full body roll/shift from one side of the body to the other…I am sure it is only a matter of time!

Sleep:
Pretty good actually! I don’t want to jinx myself…but for right now, I have zero complaints about sleep.

What I miss:
Same as before, Laying on my stomach…a lot. Having a glass of a wine. I miss those things.

Cravings:
Well over the weekend, home girl was craving a Coconut Macadamia Nut tart from Big River here in Corvallis. Luckily, we live pretty close so Papa Chim was able to meander out and get one! I was also craving some sparkling apple cider. He also brought me home 2 bottles of said cider. What a sweet man I have!

Symptoms:
My bones hurt…my body aches..you know normal preggo symptoms I guess? My energy is also starting to burn out a little bit. This past weekend we had a few things going on, and I would just tire so quickly! It is hard for me not to push myself to be more active and pack a TON of things into our weekend. But I just need to listen to my body and tell myself to take it easy.

Favorite Moment This Week:
This past weekend we sold our 2^nd and final futon (YIPPEE!!), which meant that it was the final thing out of the baby’s room! We had also bought a dresser (FREAKING FINALLY!), on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago and so Tim used this past weekend to refurbish it to exactly what we were wanting for Baby Harlow. He sanded it down, and re-stained the dresser to a black stain and we went and bought dresser drawer pulls for it and it is a COMPLETE Transformation! I wish that I had a before picture…but he made it come true, and bonus…he had fun doing it! So on Saturday, I went to a baby shower for my friend Rachel, she is due April 8^th, and he stayed home and worked on this dresser! The baby shower was super fun, and so big! It was kind of overwhelming how many ladies showed up to celebrate her little one. She is very blessed. After I came home, I was completely wiped out from all the festivities and  Chim was tired from working on her dresser all day, so we both came home and had a little mini movie marathon. Complete with “Look Who’s Talking”, “Father of the Bride-Part 2”, and “The Simpsons movie”. I mean obvi…which movie night isn’t complete without those gems? Then on Sunday, we went and picked up some baby girl clothes from his step-brother and drove around and looked at houses, (wishful dreaming at this point). After we came home, we got a chance to sort out all these clothes that our friends have blessed us with, (SO many freaking clothes!) Our girl is already spoiled beyond belief! We sorted them out and then started on the cutest little laundry loads I am pretty sure have ever been in our washer. We also got a chance to visit with Tim’s parents as they stopped by to meet the Chugs.

Worst Moment This Week:
I am bummed because we want to buy a house and make it our own, and have sadly come to the realization that although we could afford the mortgage, until we pay off our debts, it probably is not a reality. Ugh, life goes on though right?
