Week 31 Bump Recap

Baby’s Size: Baby girl is the size of a Jicama… whatever that is! She is about 3 lbs (theoretically) and fattening up every day!

Baby’s Progress: All her senses are working, her body is gaining fat and her skin is becoming less translucent.  She can also suck her thumb, move her arms and legs (which trust me she is doing a lot of!)

Weight Gain: The weight gain is speeding up a bit, I gained about 1.5 lbs last week, and I feel like every morning that I get on the scale it goes up and up!

Sleep: I don’t know where I would be without my pregnancy pillow.  At the beginning of the pregnancy I couldn’t imagine needing it to sleep, but as it gets harder and harder to roll over in the middle of the night, I appreciate the pillow more and more!

Milestones: I can’t think of any big milestones this week, mostly just plugging along getting closer and closer to her arrival!

Favorite clothing item of the week: My maxi skirt from old navy has become such a staple in my wardrobe that I’m pretty sure a few people think its the only thing I can still wear!

Symptoms: My only major symptom is that I can’t breathe anymore!

Workout: I finished a 5K on saturday morning! For the last three years my husband and I have participated in a 5K at our church that benefits the food pantry, including running it the morning of our wedding! So now we celebrate by running it every year.  Although for obvious reasons, I didn’t run it, I walked it with a group of friends and their kiddos.  It was such a fun time and I liked starting the day out with some exercise.
