How far along?: 31 weeks
Total weight gain: Around 12 pounds
How Big Is Baby?: 3 pounds! 16 inches
Movement: Lots, and I feel pressure more and more now.
Sleep: 100/150mg sleep aide. I pee at least 4 times in the hour or so that it takes me to fall asleep. Weird & vivid dreams. But once I finally get comfortable and fall asleep, I do sleep pretty well.
Maternity Clothes: Its been hot, so at home Im usually just in underwear. The shirt I am wearing in this picture is a mens Calvin Klein shirt that I got on black Friday a few years ago. I have it in white too. Some days I am convinced they are the most comfortable shirts in the world.
Symptoms: Heart burn, hot flashes and sweating*, weird skin**, gross bathroom trips, random back ache, nesting.
Food cravings/aversions: I have NO appetite. Nothing sounds good. I crave water, lemon water and orange juice. Its not unusual for me to completely forget to eat until 1PM, then my blood sugar plummets and I start shaking and realize I need to go eat!
Labor Signs: Braxton hicks daily.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach. Being comfy in general.
What I am looking forward to: NEXT MONTH! I am confident well have a new baby in October :)
Other: Last midwife appointment: Heart rate was 156, uterus measuring 28 weeks (which is normal for me)
Our glucose testing conversation:
Her: Did you get to do the 3 hour test yet?
Me: No
Her: Do you know when youre going to?
Me: No
Her: Okay. Just try and do it as soon as you can..
Me: Yeah.
My next appointment with her is the 11th and I know I wont have done it by then. Ill probably end up calling to schedule it next week...or the week after....or in three weeks....well see...
*I walk around going, "Omg it is so hot in here. Can you turn the air on? Its so hot. Omg arent you hot!!?" and Spencers just laughs and says I am so pregnant.
**My skin is itchy and drives me even more crazy than usual. In the last week I have stated that I, a) have ringworm, b) have skin cancer, c) need acne body wash. Again, Spencer just laughs and says I am insane. Also skin related: Im getting cellulite on my legs. Spencer says Im not, and when I squeeze them to show him he says that doesnt count. (yes it does.)
Me: Alikah, why does Harper scream like that? Can you understand baby?
Alikah: Uhhh, no. Maybe you should ask Boden!
She talks to him a lot too and asks him when hes coming out :)

31 weeks
How far along?: 31 weeksCurrent Weight: 137
Total weight gain: 13 pounds
How Big Is Baby?: 15-17 inches, 2.5-4 pounds.
Sleep: I switch sides all night. Some nights I constantly feel like I have to pee if I lay on my left side, others its my right. Its a good thing Spencer sleeps like a rock. Once I fall asleep though I sleep pretty good. Super crazy dreams though.
Movement: Ive gotten 2 kicks that have made me say "Ow!"
Maternity Clothes: I wore my maternity jeans for the first time on Mother's Day. I wont be buying anymore maternity clothes though, I have enough regular shorts/skirts/dresses that will fit for the rest of the time.
Symptoms: Tired.
Food Cravings: Trail mix! I need to go to Target. And granola.
Belly Button in or out? Its out.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
Other: At my 28 week appointment I measured 24 weeks and Im interested to see if its changed at our appointment next week. I feel like he has gotten higher and more into my ribs, but when I try to feel my uterus myself it doesnt feel like its gotten any bigger. I never measured past 32 weeks with Alikah...
Today I was laying on the couch trying to get videos of Harper kicking and Alikah ran over and put her hand on my stomach then kissed it.
Shes been kissing my belly and saying hi to him more and more often. She says "baby Harper" ridiculously cute. She thinks that her and Spencer have baby Harpers too.
