How Far along: 31 weeks
Baby size: 17"ish and about 3- 3 1/2 pounds
Total weight gain: 14-15 pounds, depending on the day
Maternity clothes: yep
Sleep: Yes, please. Gimme more.
Best Moment this week: Setting an actual date (in about 2 weeks) to list the house, get photos done, etc. And getting our costumes done in time for Halloween, haha. And confirming that Little Cat C is indeed head down (which I knew, but still, nice to see on ultrasound).
Movement: Yes. Lots. Still not as much as Dee, which is very nice.
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs: BH contractions a lot. Fortunately (as we learned in a fun little visit to the hospital for monitoring) they aren't actually doing anything in terms of progress, which is very good. I get to drink even *more* water than I have been, and start taking that Cramp Bark Tincture again *gag* as needed but it's better than taking Procardia with the possible side effects of that...
Belly button: In. Ish.
Cravings: hot chocolate, onion rings, chocolate in general
Aversions: Nothing new.
What I miss: Bending over, not having heartburn/acid reflux for hours every day.
Stretch Marks: No new ones but I still have (super mild) PUPPP. Fortunately, I also have prescription strength steroid ointment which seems to knock down the itching for a couple days at a time as long as I apply enough and don't mix it with coconut oil (dilutes it too much).
What is different this time around: Mostly everything.
What I am looking forward to this week: Finishing touches on the house, Halloween/Trick or Treating with the kids. Buying a winter coat for myself and J this weekend (since his is packed and we don't know which box it's in, and mine... doesn't fit at the moment). Also unpacking/repacking the kid's clothes, because we packed their winter stuff... (optimism = not so realistic, actually).
