31 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights: Got to see our little man's chubby cheeks and gorgeous lips and sweet little face. Down to less then 2 months and single digit week-wise! Sometimes it shocks me to think that he could be here in a matter of 5.5 weeks! We have our second birthing class tonight, I'm loving them so far! It's a 6 week course and I am loving it.
How Far Along: 31 weeks
Size of baby: Books say around 3 to 3.5 pounds, who knows for sure!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12 pounds lost
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants and long shirts.
Gender: All Boy!
Movement: AMAZING! We can identify knees and feet and butt. Sometimes it gets painful when he twists back and forth but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Ally has felt him move a lot and it's neat to see other people enjoy what Max and I have been enjoying for a while! Mom has felt him but not move a lot and she tried to hear him moving but that didn't work ;-)
Sleep: Carter has a nightly party that wakes me up and keeps me up. Between that, a very squished bladder, waking up starving, hip pain, body parts falling asleep, etc. sleep is getting rarely restful but I'm thankful for what I get and am trying different things to help me sleep more and get more restful sleep.
Symptoms: Not a whole lot new.
What I miss: Being able to sit up right without a butt shoved in my ribs ;-)
Cravings: None really
Best Moment this week: Seeing my family really start to embrace my pregnancy. Makes it feel like he's being embraced more as well, even though I know it's seperate, just feels so much better! Also getting to see our baby boy, who is very low and so we didn't get very many pictures but getting to see him and see his activity in there was so neat!
Looking Forward Too: Baby showers and getting to hold him in a few more weeks!

28 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights: Officially in the third trimester!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 12 pounds lost
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants and long shirts. Can still fit into some pre-pregnancy jeans! 
Gender: All Boy!
Movement: Has gotten pretty intense! If I'm sitting up he loves to kick my ribs and if I'm laying down you can see his feet/knees/butt/hands/elbows poking out and moving around!
Sleep: I don't think it will ever be the same again.
Symptoms: My hips are really sore and feel like they are loosening already.
What I miss: Nothing, I love being pregnant!

Looking Forward Too: baby showers and the 3d ultrasound in 3-ish more weeks!
