Earlier
this week I shared with you that I have been on a mad cleaning and organizing
spree. I have gone through all of the clothing I have for Julia, washed it and
organized it according to size. I have taken the crib out of Steven’s room and
it is patiently waiting to be put together in Julia’s room {this has to wait
until we finish the basement as we may need Julia’s room as a guest room again
in the meantime}. I have started to look at fabric for the nursery bedding – as
I think I want to make something myself. I even have a new car seat for Julia
that I have been playing with for the last week in order to get used to how it
functions. I am so excited!
How
Far Along:
31
Weeks Pregnant {31 weeks 5 days}
Due
Date:
June
22nd, 2013
Boy
or girl:
Girl!
Bump
Picture:
My bump is growing and has been keeping me up
at night!
Baby Development:
This week, Julia should measure over 16 inches
long. She should weigh about 3.3 pounds and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head
from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body
are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She is moving a lot too.
Symptoms:
I am exhausted. For the past couple of nights Julia
has been tossing, turning, and kicking like crazy throughout the night –
keeping me from getting a good night sleep. Thanks goodness I have been able to
lay down and take short naps with my kiddos.
Currently craving:
I am still on a seafood kick. This last week
I made fish tacos as well as a seafood Alfredo that was out of this world
delicious.
Currently
Avoiding:
I am
not avoiding anything right now.
Belly
button status:
In
Movement:
She is
getting more and more active and has been known to respond to my oldest son’s
roaring!
Name:
Julia
Any
appointments?:
I had my follow up Ultrasound last week and
found out that there was no blockage, but Julia’s kidneys are still showing on
the larger side. We will be addressing this at my next appointment. I have a
feeling there will be another ultrasound in my future to check on this issue
again.
Any
baby related purchases?:
I have been on a fabric mission,
but so far nothing is jumping out at me.
Other:
I have noticed a little nausea coming back in
the third trimester. It seems to appear when I need to eat or when I have been
super active and need a pick me up. I have started to try to snack more with
the kids.
My husband claims that baby Julia is going to
be a genius because I have THE WORST pregnancy brain ever this time around. I
swear that there are some days when I have no idea what I am doing... I think
he may be right.
Did you suffer from pregnancy brain?
