Poor second baby. All he gets is a closet. And a messy one at that. We’ll clean it out more before he gets here, but for now I don’t want Smushy messing with all his things.
31 weeks
Bonus angles:
We shall never speak of this again.
How far along? 31 weeks
Total weight gain: Up 2 pounds total as of my last appointment. Which are every 2 weeks now. Crazy how fast it’s going.
Maternity clothes? Yes. And this question is only fun to answer the first time.
Sleep: It’s fine. Some days I’m a walking zombie, some days (like today) I wake up before the kid for no good reason and feel fine.
Food cravings: None. And lately nothing sounds very appealing.
Best moment this week: Seeing the little guy on the 3D u/s and Smushy feeling him kick for the first time and getting really excited about it.
Movement: Holy crap he had was active last night. HOURS of rolling and kicking! I actually started feeling sick because of it. Oof!
Gender: Boy. (Still.) Also boring question.
Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? Out I guess. I mean it can still be in sometimes, and flat sometimes. But lets just go ahead and call it.
What I miss: Being able to do simple things like bend down and pick up toys, drink water, and move without being in pain.
What I am looking forward to: Mr. Silly has a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow. Does that count?
Weekly Wisdom: If you KNOW you suffer from EXTREME heartburn, DO NOT run out of milk and think you’ll be fine for one night. This is probably the best tip I have ever given anyone.
Milestones: Third Trimester! La la la la la la.
Dude, the heartburn. I feel like there is a river of lava flowing in my chest and throat. Could. Do. Without. I still can’t pick things up and my house looks like shit and whinewhinewhinewhine. Poor Mr. Silly. He really has stepped up and taken over all the things I can’t do right now. I mean, it still SUCKS because I feel guilty all the time, but nice to know I can count on him. He’s not even complaining or trying to get extra points of anything. He just handles it and that’s it. I know, I’m very lucky.
We also managed to get in a hospital tour this week. I’ve been nervous about whether or not Smushy would be able to visit at all since I know several hospitals have a ban on the under 18 crowd. Which, I get. Sorta. Don’t want the babies to get sick. Except my baby is still coming home to live with my toddler. So uh, not sure putting him in a toddler free bubble for 2 whole days will do much, but whatever. My biggest concern was not seeing Smushy for that long. And I would link to my whole big I’mgonnamissmybaaaabbbbbyyyyy post, but I am too lazy. So! The very nice nurse lady assured me over and over again that siblings of any age are welcome at any time. Visiting hours Schmisiting hours. And and and! My MIL (the grandma) can come anytime too! Which is perfect! She can bring the Smush! Whee! We also saw all the other stuff like the OR and nursery. The rooms are nice and big and I don’t have to go to a separate recovery room after the c-section. Awesome. All in all, very good visit.
These pics were waiting for me in Smushy’s cubby at school today. I thought that was so nice of her teachers.
Smushy is asleeeeeeeping! Gotta love the video monitor!
- The child WILL NOT take a normal length nap.
- You WILL fall asleep 2 minutes before she wakes up.
- And she WILL find the non-kid-friendly markers on the day you have to meet your husband’s new boss.
- And she WILL color her hands, arms, and face a very dark green.
- And you WILL NOT have anything in the house that might be able to remove it.
- And she WILL run around half naked saying “No pants!”
- And you WILL be a huge, pregnant house with nothing to wear.
- Seriously, 1 pair of jeans that fit.
- And you WILL have awful sciatic pain making it impossible to bend over to pick anything up, thus leaving your house a huge mess.
- And the never ending morning sickness and heartburn WILL kick in just before you have to leave even though they’ve stayed away all day.
Son of a monkey.
I know it looks like another belly pic, but really I’m documenting my haircut. It’ll be a lot shorter after I wash the straight out of it. Mr. Silly says he likes the curls better. Next on he to-do list: Darken!
