31 Weeks!!!!



How far along? 31 weeks 4 days! 

Total weight gain: Just keep gaining steadily!

Maternity clothes? Do regular clothes in large or extra large count?

Stretch marks? No but if you hear of an insane woman screaming and throwing herself in front of a bus in Laguna Niguel in the next 3 months, they might have possibly shown up.


Sleep:?
Not too bad, but the little guy LOVES kicking like crazy while his momma is trying to get some rest. Foreshawdowing of the future? My shoulder and hips are hurting too from sleeping on my left side so much but I keep remembering it gives him the best nutrition and blood/oxygen flow. Plus its supposed to keep MY swelling down. Hard to argue with that!

Best moment this week:  Lots of them! Loving the fall weather we are getting, the rain and the cold nights are awesome for snuggling up on the couch with the husband and pup and some pumpkin spice coffee and talking about how excited we are for little Carter to arrive! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the holidays and I cannot wait for this holiday season especially.  If you know me at all, you know I listen to Christmas music for about 6 months out of the year. Which means Carter will get a good few months of Christmas music via my belly. Yay!

 We also did ANOTHER maternity shoot  that I think went awesome..will post the pics as soon as I get them! But I will post a few of the ones we liked from our last shoot on here today!

But most exciting thing so far this week was our 4d ultrasound! We could see the little guy so well and we were both amazing and borderline giddy watching his little face!! It really made the fact that we are actually going to have a baby all the more real and we truly could not be happier!!!!It was the most crazy experience to know that little guy is inside me and we get to meet him soon! He is even more adorable than I could have possibly imagined! Joey and I could not get over how cute he is and couldnt stop looking at the pictures. We also got a DVD so we can show the family the little guy squirming around. The nurse confirmed that he is head down and that his little bum and legs are up in my ribs which is why I have been so uncomfortable. Oh well, totally worth it! But I have to admit this is the first time I got really scared for labor, realizing that the little guy (who is not actually that little) has to come out is kind of terrifying. 

Lastly, my older brother Nick just moved down to socal!! I am so happy that he is here and that Carter will get to know his Uncle and Godfather even better! Joey and I brought Winston over to play with his two puggles Oscar and Jake and then went down to the penisula to meet up with some friends for a birthday celebration. We had so much fun with everyone and my brother got to meet a bunch of  our friends. Yay for more family in socal!!

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my belly and back. I CANNOT wait to be able to sleep on my belly again. I miss being able to bend over without it hurting and shopping for more than an hour without getting exhausted!

Movement: ALL THE TIME! He is quite the little gymnast in there. Joey and I were sleeping cuddled up together and Joey could literally feel him moving through my stomach on his body. I'm scared for his energy levels.

Food Cravings: Havent had Baja Fresh in over a week! Crazy. Chipotle on the other hand, Ive had twice a day a few times. I like to keep Joey on his toes. I'm also big into Werthers butterscotch candies and these dark chocolate nibs you get from Traders Joes. MMMMMM,

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still a little here and there but nothing too severe.

Gender: BOY! Boooyaah!

Labor Signs: Negative.

Symptoms: 

Belly Button in or out? Almost all the way out!

Wedding rings on or off? ON!!!!

Happy or Moody most of the time: This IS the happiest I have ever been aside from when the daughter in Father of the Bride 2 decides to move to Chicago, someone drinks a bloody mary in front of me, or I find out its the last season of Gossip Girl.

Looking forward to: Meeting our little guy!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish it was tomorrow!!!! (well not really because I want him to be healthy but if he could be healthy and come tomorrow, then bring it on!!)


Our sweet baby boy!



 The bday crew!
