Baby is the size of a delicious coconut!
What's new for baby?
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3 1/3 pounds (about the size of a coconut) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. (BabyCenter)
Total weight gain/measurements: Right now I am at my heaviest: 126.2 lb. That's almost 12 lb. of weight gain. When I compare myself to other mums (sorry, not trying to be mean), my weight is fine, I guess!?
Maternity clothes: I only have 8 weeks and 2 days to go so it seems a little bit silly buying maternity clothes for myself. On the other hand, I do have to invest in some nursing bras and tops.
Sleep: My bump is a decent size so I can still manage to sleep on my side hugging hubby.
Best moment this week: Our lovely baby shower! Our mum and sis did an awesome job. Everybody had a good time and I felt so spoiled, so many gifts... I can't thank enough!
Movement: Yes, she has been moving more than ever. As I'm typing this, she's kicking hard.
Food cravings: Ice chips, peaches and Honey Bunches.
Symptoms: Backaches, tiredness, Braxton Hicks, nesting mode, tender ribs, colostrum leakage.
Belly button in or out? In. I do not think it will ever be out.
Wedding rings on or off? On, my fingers are still the same. Yay! :)
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy and anxious. There are so many things a baby needs, I hope my maternal instincts show up asap.
Looking forward to: Get the 'nursery' ready and seeing her for the first time...
Stretch marks? None -yet-! We'll see, I do not want to be extra positive. I added Honest Co. Organic Oil to my beauty routine. I use it after I shower in my belly, breasts, hips and tights.
Here is the bump for 31 weeks...
RC.
