Week 31

9 weeks left. If I go on time that is.
Super crazy to think about.

Week 31:

No Andrew again, he's worked the early shift this week. 

My dear friend, Meagan, you were right with that comment you left on my Instagram. Just when I thought I couldn't get any bigger.... here we are. I swear my midsection grows out an inch a day. Clothes REALLY are starting to suck.

Cravings: Still milk. Still ice cream and chocolate shakes. Lately I've been craving juice too. I'm really not a big juice drinker, unless it is juice I have made from a juicer. Last night I had two glasses of apple juice and this morning I wanted Orange Juice so badly I would have killed for it. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but the craving was very strong. When it comes to food... I just want it all. Ha! EAT ALL THE THINGS! Baby is going to be going through a pretty intense growth spurt so it is no surprise that I'm super hungry. It is funny to me though that even though baby is growing and gaining fat pretty rapidly, this lady here was down one pound at the doctor's office Wednesday. Ha! Getting bigger but losing weight. Whatever body.

Feeling: Still having pains here and there. Lower abdomen is the big culprit, closely followed by back pain later in the day. I've been having weird leg issues too... like I have to move them around quite a bit or else they feel twitchy. Not quite sure how to explain it but it's weird. I was doing really well with sleeping and not having my arms go numb, but apparently we are back to that now because I woke up multiple times last night unable to feel an arm and then it would hurt. Fun times!

Other Things: Just getting antsy! I am really curious to see what this kiddo is going to look like! I am also ready to not be pregnant anymore. It hasn't been the worst experience of my life, but it hasn't been sunshine and rainbows either. Would I do it again? Yes, but not for awhile!
The nursery is going to be almost 100% done soon! That makes me really happy. I'm glad that we worked on it so early. I'm getting excited for my baby shower too because I will get to see so many friends and family members from out of town!

Andrew and I are trying to spend as many days at home as we can. Trying to relax, enjoy the quiet of the house when we can, sleep when we can, and just do things that we assume are taken for granted when you don't have a baby in the house. I'm still trying to do specific cleaning projects as I have the energy and I'm washing up all spare blankets and sheets to get all of that out of the way as well. Pretty soon I'll start washing up baby things too just because the cats have bombarded the nursery. It is the "forbidden room" so you can imagine when the door is open they have the time of their life in there.
Damn cats.
