Week 31

How far along: 31 weeks 2 days
Only: 8 weeks 5 days to go

Total weight gain: 23 pounds

Best Moment this Week: Anytime I get to hear baby girl's heartbeat is pretty great! The doctor's visit went great and I am measuring right on track. Heartbeat was strong and I start going every two weeks! We spent Memorial Day not doing anything and having the extra day off work was really nice.

Miss anything: being able to find a comfortable position

Enjoying: The crazy movements I'm feeling! It's almost unreal to stare down at my belly and watch it jump on it's own. I know this is what I'll miss the most about being pregnant. It's so amazing to be able to feel your child move like that.

Food Cravings: More temperature driven, cold things like Popsicles and ice cream sound awesome!

Symptoms: mild swelling at the end of the day, my ribs feel like they are bruised, heartburn, and HOT all the time

Looking forward to: I registered for birthing classes starting on Monday! I can't believe it's already that time! We should be getting the crib this weekend so I'm looking forward to setting that up, too!

Feelings: I have honestly had a GREAT pregnancy. I've enjoying feeling our baby move and squirm as she's grown. I'm so excited to become a mom! However, the last week has been rough - and I kind of feel guilty for feeling like that. Her feet are in my ribs and by the end of the day, I just want to lay down and cry it hurts so bad. It's a constant, throbbing pain that never really goes away. I'm trying to be positive and know that it won't be much longer before I'm holding Carley Sophia and I won't care about any pain associated with her getting here. In the meantime... Chris has been great about rubbing my back and feet when I get home, so that helps. :)

Size of baby: 19 inches and about 4 pounds!
