31 weeks pregnant!

  31 weeks pregnant!

How far along?

  31 weeks 1 day-we are now in single figures, 9 weeks to go whoooo!

Appointments/scans?

I have an antenatal check up next Wednesday. Will be interesting to know if she is still breech, if she is...she has a month to turn, the cheeky monkey!

Weight

I don't know, I assume I have put on a few more pounds although my bump feels no bigger and hasn't done so for a few weeks-I wonder if that is normal. I have been eating lots of ice cream so I imagine I have put on some weight.

Symptoms?

I have finally felt braxton hicks!! Exciting. Only one and it wasn't too bad. Generally, I have been feeling ok this week but really suffering in the heat. So very tired too! Main symptoms this week have been:

• Bad arm and hand pain
• Pelvic pain, especially when I stand up for more than 5 minutes!
• Heart racing
• Breathlessness
• Constantly needing to pee
• HOT!!!!!!

Cravings?

Nada! Just hungry ALL the time.

Emotions?

Had one bad day amongst lots of great ones-so that is pretty good for me :)

Bump?

More stretch marks, mostly around my belly button-they seem to be increasing weekly. Bump hasn't grown significantly-just feels very tight. I feel a bit small for my dates to be honest!

Baby Movement

Our little girlie is a quiet soul-I don't feel her move/kick too much to be honest but maybe she is just very chilled and laid back like her daddy!

Baby Measurements

Nearly 3 1/2 pounds ish? Huge.

How is Daddy feeling?

He is getting into nesting mode like me and getting everything ready for her arrival-he put up the wardobe which means all her little clothes are hanging up now! We couldn't be anymore excited!

 
Most looking forward to? 

Holding our baby in 9 (or more...or less) weeks time.

Best baby bargain this week

We bought lots and lots of nappies-400 to be exact haha! That should last us 2 months apparently. Lots of smelliness to come!

I also bought her a cute little pink bunny toy-I couldn't resist. It was only £4.50.

I am eyeing up a new changing bag to colour co-ordinate with her red buggy (yes, I am sad) and I think I want this one on Ebay!

Still to buy?

Pretty much nothing. Still a room thermometer and little bits and bobs but we are very much...sorted!

Best Baby Moment this week
 Getting her buggy set up and pushing it about outside-I can't quite imagine a small baby inside! Some people think it's bad luck to have the buggy in the house before the baby is born but I don't think so :)
 
Anything else?
 I wrote out my birth plan! It wasn't very detailed as there is only so much you can plan about labour right?! But it was nice to get it done. In a few weeks I will start thinking about my hospital bag...or in my case, suitcase! ;)
