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!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
