How far along? 31 weeks --> 7 short months
Total weight gain: I went to the doctor on Monday and my weight hadn't budged since the last visit. I weigh 147lbs, so from my normal pre-pregnancy weight I've gained 12 lbs. From my lost weight, 125 lbs, I've gained 22 lbs. My portion sizes feel smaller I think because of the lack of room I have in my growing belly, I haven't been craving junk really just those clementine oranges!! Those things are amazing
Check out THIS awesome weight tracker to make sure you're staying on point. I decided to help myself make good choices I'm also trying to continue to use MyFitnessPal app to track what I eat.

Maternity clothes? I was passing off some of my bigger shirts still but I'm not sure that will work much longer, they wont button around my middle. I'm trying to figure out what to wear for maternity photos... any suggestions?!
Stretch marks? No new ones!!I'm using the Palmers from Target on my belly and whats left of the Vaseline on the rest of my body. I keep reminding myself stretchmarks dont JUST happen on the belly! I remember after I could see the backs of my calf or inner-thighs I noticed some clear ones there after Ryder was born, not exactly a confidence booster. HAHAHA I was telling Brandon about them this go around and he was like, "WHAT?! YOU DO?" when I showed him them he was in shock that you can actually get stretch marks there. Awkward marriage moment.
Sleep: This week sleeping is no better. Some days I wake up having slept a good deal and still feel exhausted, other days I hardly sleep at all and feel exhausted. I've been getting the worst muscle pain in my neck as well, perhaps it's time for a trip to the chiropractor.
Best moment this week: Probably would have to be eating at my amazing friend Chana's parents house 2 nights this week! :) YUM!!! There are so many things, we were able to celebrate Chana's son Christians 1st Birthday and Chana's 30th Birthday and yesterday we celebrated Ryder's 4th Birthday! So much excitement, and delicious food. I literally ate 4 different desserts at Chana's Birthday. MMMM
Miss anything? I actually miss being able to help tie Ryder's shoes or get up from sitting on the ground without getting on my knees first. I realized this week, it's not as easy as it once was.
Movement: I swear this baby gets the hiccups at least two times per day. It's not like it's actual movement but just that dull blip of a hiccup for a good 10 minutes or so. It sounds awfully exhausting.
Junk Food cravings: I am DYING for a pumpkin roll. I might just have to make one this weekend. Sunday? Who knows.
Healthy Food Craving: Clementines, they are feeding my sugar needs, but apparently it's much healthier than just drinking orange juice. I asked my doc about it today since I am eating about 5 a day... maybe more. I KNOW! I even found myself telling Ryder not to eat "too many" or he'd get a stomach ache, but really I just didn't want to share. Mom of the year right here!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I had a bout of nausea the other day, I thought for sure I was screwed and it was all coming back to me. It hasn't happened since. We weren't doing anything unusual, just a short drive to the grocery store...random.
Gender: BOY!!!
Labor signs: NONE NONE NONE!
Symptoms: Your average aches and pains, discomforts and such. Today it's my neck, yesterday it was a splitting headache, today it'll be nothing.
Belly button in or out? I am still with a flat outtie. The space that was once my belly button is surrounded by more bellybutton, but my guts are in! YAY!
Wedding rings on or off? I took it off, the chubbier part of my finger kept swelling and I was terrified it was going to be stuck. I panicked.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy, a liiiitle moody this week with Ryder's Birthday party being this Saturday I still need to make 18 mustaches and 18 gift boxes and I haven't ordered CAKE! EEEEP! Brandon said he'd help, we'll see!
Looking forward to: FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER! I know I said that last week but it is, it's over and it's glorious! This weekend we have one mission and that is to get everything ready for Ry's party and to have an awesome time at his party!
Note: I skipped out on my Weekend Wrap Up because with all the Birthday celebrations and Ryder's coming up I just didn't have any time to get one together but I can post a weekend wrap up of simply photos. I'm not sure that anyone would be specifically interested in that though. lol
xoxo
Catch ya later!
