31 Weeks :)
How far along? 31 Weeks today, I will be 8 months next week.
Maternity clothes? Yes, and I just bought some new maternity shorts from Old Navy on-line and I love them! (I had only one other pair before, and they were second hand when I had Grace...so it was time for something new!)
Stretch Marks? Keep crossing your fingers and toes! My old ones are still there, but no new ones!! I have a slow weight gain to thank for this, Pure Romance's Stretch Mark oil, and I just purchased a Shey Butter lotion that is also supposed to prevent stretch marks, so we'll see!
Miss Anything? I miss being as active with Grace as I was. It's harder for me to squat down on her level, so I'm usually sitting or standing, and sitting on the floor with her hurts my stomach sometimes too. I'm not sure what the beginning of the school year will look like, since I'm always on the floor working with my students!
Movement: All...of...the...time. The doctor gave me a chart to track her movement a few times a day, and I asked, "how much movement are you looking for?" She explained around 10 movements a day. I laughed because she moves about 10 times every hour!
Grace was a mover too, and she is still a very active little girl (she rolled over at 1 month!) SO...I'm wondering if this new little pearl will follow in her big sissy's footsteps.
Food cravings: Anything that DOESN'T give me heartburn. And actually, a BLT sounded wonderful the other day, so my talented husband whipped us up some this afternoon, and they were delightful :).
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smoke
Gender: Girl :)
Labor Signs: I've had mild cramping, but my doctor said that it's common right now because of the heat. By the way, today's rain and cool down was AWESOME! Being pregnant during a heat wave/drought sucks, one thing that I'm looking forward to when we get back to work is the air conditioning!
Symptoms: More varicose veins :( , heartburn, and cramping, but my doctor says that I have no problems with my overall health, and that it's not very common in their practice, so I'm considering myself lucky!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Mood: Anxious, I'd like to have the girl's rooms done, and a bunch of other projects done around the house...but I am moving slower: the heat, my classwork, my work work...the rooms will get done, and I will look for motivation to finish the other house projects once my class is over.
Looking forward to: My grad class ending. However, that means I need to get to work on my projects...but after this class I have one more, and then I can apply for my professional certificate!
