pregnancy highlights | 31 weeks

how far along: 31 weeks

due date: October 10
size of baby: pineapple (!) - 16.7 inches, 3.8 lbs.

gender: girl!

movement: the baby girl's been moving in ways that are painful. whether it be her kicking or just moving for 5 minutes straight, her action is pretty uncomfortable!     

symptoms: I am experiencing a lot of rib pain. I made the mistake and read online articles about rib pain... let's just say, I'd rather grin & bear it than get an orthopedic brace in the case I have dislocated ribs. also, nesting... but there's not much i can do about that right now. 
food cravings: right now, I'm craving that pineapple pictured above!!!   
maternity clothes: dresses, both maternity & non-maternity, are a staple for going out. a good friend also sent me a pretty scarf that i wore to my appointment this week. :)
what I miss: getting ready without being out of breath - haha!

best moment of the week: we received positive news from our ultrasound again. we are feeling more & more confident that I'll go full term.

getting ready: i stay up at night re-arranging our furniture (in my head) in hopes that we can get everything ready before she arrives. thanks to some friends & family, we have a good plan. 

daddy: he is currently taking an infant care class at the hospital - while I'm sitting here watching Wheel of Fortune. I'm really proud of him.

prayer requests: we have several friends and family who are going through difficult times - with babies, with health, with life. I just want to go hug all of them, but I can't - pray we can support them well. 

{ 31 weeks: it takes a lot of focus for me to do anything these days }
