31 WEEKS

Weeks: 31

Waist size: +6"

Weight gain: 13 lbs.

Symptoms: My back and feet are really aching at the end of each day. I feel fine, until I sit or lay down. 

Cravings: Culver's has this amazing cranberry bleu cheese chicken salad. I've had THREE this week! I think I could have one everyday for the rest of the summer.

Aversions: Not much doesn't sound good. I did buy a bag of Cheetos and had a few and thought, "why did I buy these? They aren't even good." They did nothing for me (which I'm not complaining about!)

Sleep: I'm still sleeping fairly well. I do have to get up to use the bathroom at least twice a night, but I'm able to fall back asleep.

Wedding ring on: Yes, I may make this entire pregnancy with it on! I would be so happy if this happens.

Best moment this week: We had maternity photos taken this week. I am so excited about how they turned out, I just love them!

30 WEEKS

Weeks: 30

Waist size: +5.5"

Weight gain: 11 lbs.

Symptoms: Baby boy is getting so big that his movement is really feeling different. It used to be sharp jabs, now it's slow whole tummy rolls. I can feel him moving throughout my entire middle all at the same time. 

Cravings: Pastries. Cherry turnovers, cherry dumplings, cupcakes, oh my!

Aversions: Fast food, I guess. Sometimes I'll be in the mood for a cheeseburger and fries, but usually it just doesn't sound that good. 

Sleep: Ryan and I bought a king size bed for our new house. I haven't slept this good in months, maybe even years! I can't believe that I'm sleeping straight through the night! It's amazing!

Wedding ring on: Yes

Best moment this week: We moved into our house last week (hence the lack of a weekly update) and this week we were able to settle in a little more. My parents came down to help us and it's finally starting to feel like home!

28 WEEKS

Weeks: 28

Waist size: +5"

Weight gain: 11 lbs.

Symptoms: The baby is moving like crazy lately. I always wonder if my clients can see my belly jumping around in the mirror :)

Cravings: Burgers and fries! I'm doing pretty well at resisting though. I did have a great burger at Bob's Riverview over the weekend!

Aversions: Everything still sounds pretty good ;)

Sleep: 50/50

Wedding ring on: Yes

Best moment this week: I traveled to my hometown to celebrate my friend Beth's baby shower. It was so great catching up with my college friends. I had such a wonderful time! I also was able to spend some time with my parents, which was wonderful as well! Annnnd I ran into one of my greatest friends, Crystal, when I was out for dinner with my parents! It was such an awesome surprise!

27 WEEKS

Weeks: 27

Waist size: +5"

Weight gain: 10lbs.

Symptoms: I can really feel him when I press on my belly now. It's so neat to feel his different body parts (head, butt, arms, and legs!)

Cravings: Lucky Charms

Aversions: There's not much food that I'd turn down.

Sleep: Eh, not so good this last week.

Wedding ring on: Yes

Best moment this week: We had a few hot days here this week. I think we were even in the 80's. The weather totally affects my mood and it felt great to have the sun shining and to leave my coat at home!
I also passed my glucose and iron tests, so it's nice to have passed that hurdle.
