31 Week Baby Bump Update



How far along? 31 Weeks

Weight gain? On a normal incline upward. My midwife is pleased with my weight gain even though I still hate seeing that number go up and up.

Maternity clothes? I have to wear maternity clothes almost always now. My shirts are getting shorter and shorter which means that my clothes are getting more and more limited. 

Stretch Marks? No new ones but I have a few that might be growing a little bit.

Sleep? What's that? I do get sleep but I wake up from about 2 until 5 and then get waken up by Monkey at 6:30 to 7 and I'm so not ready to be up for the day. Oh well, I will get sleep in about 10 to 15 years when my boys enjoy sleeping in right?

Best Moment this Week? Getting to see Goose again on ultrasound. Had to see the cardiologist to make sure his heart is OK because Monkey has a small heart murmur and they wanted to check out Goose's. The cardiologist isn't concerned and even said that we don't need to worry about checking him after he's born.

Food Cravings? Milk, milk and more milk. I can't seem to get enough. Chocolate milk, cookies and milk, milk with meals, milk at my 2 am wake up. Seriously, I can't get enough. I drink about 2 gallons of milk every other day or so. (Hubby helps me too so it's not all me.)

Gender? Still a boy as far as I know. 

Labor signs? Nope. And I'm glad. He needs to stay in a cook just a little longer.

Belly button in or out? In. Never came out with Monkey but Goose seems bigger so I'm not sure if that will change.

What I miss? Bending over without being uncomfortable. Also having a bra that is comfortable. I'm getting so big that it is hurting. Just waiting for Hubby to get back into working (with him being so sick for so long it might take a little time) so I can head out to get new ones. That's the problem with having a large chest, bras cost $50 to $100 a piece so I can't just go get some.

Milestones? We got an infant carseat. Ours expires soon after Goose would be born and it weighs a ton so we found one at a garage sale that looked brand new. I got it washed this weekend and put together so it's all ready. Plus I finished washing more of his blankets and clothes that I bought for him and they are all put away in his dresser. I'm starting to get excited!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I hate drama!

I really consider myself and my life pretty drama free. I try my best to keep people that seek after drama at a distance because I really just don't feel like dealing with it. I have certain family that automatically causes it but you know they are family and there isn't much you can do about it but set up boundaries to not allow it to affect your daily life. Which we do! I love all my extended family but sometimes, seriously, just grow up, stop acting like the world revolves around you and get over it. You children have their own families now! Anyway! After dealing with more family drama (disclaimer: the person I'm talking about would not be reading this so if your family and you are it's not you that I'm complaining about :) then I get a nasty note from a neighbor who is just plain being rude. And I love how they waited until I left before putting the note of the door. I haven't had a car for almost 3 full months and this week my hubby finally got his motorcy...
