At 30 & 31 weeks I am loving my baby boy’s movements! They’re painful at times, but I love to know he’s there.
It was bound to happen at some point. I just couldn’t keep up! It IS the Christmas season, so being 7 months pregnant and trying to make Christmas work has been challenging. Here are the stats for my 30 & 31 weeks of pregnancy.
Loving: That my baby knows my voice. I hope I some point I can get him to respond to me in some way. For now I love to say good morning when I first feel him stir, I love to sing to him while I’m driving in the car, and I love looking forward to the day that I can look into his eyes. The eyes of the one that I have longed for and dreamt of for what seems like a lifetime.
Hating: How uncomfortable I am almost all the time. I know people say it’s going to keep getting worse but it’s not fun right now. Can’t sit too long, can’t stand too long, but it’s painful to move sometimes too! Can’t win. Sleeping is becoming more and more of a challenge – so this may not be my only mention of how much I miss sleep.
Weight Gain: (from beginning of pregnancy) I’m not looking until AFTER Christmas
News: My belly button popped around 30 weeks. Can’t say it’s a good look, but it’s pregnancy! I mean, there is a PERSON growing inside of me! The baby pretty much has his looks together at this point, he’s just got some last minute organs to develop. And boy does he feel heavy. He’s plumping up from now until delivery, but already I feel his weight pulling my stomach when I lay on either side. Phew, my big boy – I can’t wait to meet him.
I got my hair cut at 31 weeks – you can tell from picture A to picture B. I personally like the way that my hair falls in the left photo, but the ends were so dead, so orange, and so needed to go. Hopefully my hair will start working on that manner again – but for now I have to deal with healthy hair that falls nice and flat, with not split ends to give it great body.
We spent Christmas Eve with my family, Christmas morning at home with the boys doing presents, and Christmas day/weekend at the lake with Robb’s family – where this Instax (I wanted one of these years ago – still do) was taken by my lovely niece Summer. A 31 week belly is a big belly – next year this boy will be in my arms.
