How far along: 31 weeks
Size of baby: Head of lettuce
Baby's size and weight: 18 in, 3.2 lbs
My total weight gain: 38 pounds. I'm not shocked by this; I've been SO freaking hungry, it's not even funny. But still, it's only a pound up from last week so I'm gaining steadily. Baby's development: -Almost at birth length!-Will still pack on 3-5 more pounds before D-day... EEK!-Baby's brain connections developing; processing info, tracking light, and perceiving signals from all 5 senses. -Sleeping longer periods of time
Stretch marks: None.
Maternity clothes: Yes. SO over it.
Gender: Girl.
Movement: Yes; Z got to see her wiggle around and he was amazed!
Sleep: Still taking Unisom nightly and am exhausted all the time. Having a toddler this time around is a total game changer.
What I miss: Zach. I didn't cry this time when we said goodbye because I knew it wasn't for long but still, I wish he didn't have to leave again. Oh and wine, I miss that dearly too.
Food cravings: Fries. And I had them two days in a row and now can't even look at them.
Symptoms: large, emotional, and just so over being pregnant.
Nolan is: getting 6 teeth now! He's also trying to be super independent and gets super frustrated when he can't do things on his own. I try to let him dress himself and only help when necessary but he literally hates when I help him in anyway. And this Glow Worm right here? It's been my saving grace the past few nights... he loves it :)
Zach is: coming home in less than two weeks... but who's counting?
What I'm looking forward to: getting a call from housing telling me we have a house! Otherwise, I may hurt someone.
Best moments: watching Nolan greet Z at the airport. He was SO happy <3 And waking up to this winter wonderland :)
Funny things: Nolan got his own "coffee latte" at Starbucks the other day. It was all fun and games until he spilled because he didn't realize there was milk in there. I love this boy.
Not so funny things: saying goodbye, again. We have the routine down though and only one more goodbye until he's back for good!
