31 weeks. wowza!

A little hard for me to believe, but I've got 9 weeks to go. Hopefully only 9, maybe a little less:) Found this questionnaire on a couple of people's blogs so I thought I'd give it a shot...

How far along? 31 weeks today. Crazy.

Total weight gain? As of 1 week ago I had gained 30 pounds, but I’m pretty sure that number will have increased 5 lbs by my appointment next Wednesday. It’s incredible how much I’ve been eating these past couple of weeks!

Sleep? Pretty good I must say. Only have to get up once or twice at the most to go to the bathroom. I usually wake up when I have to roll onto my other side, but it doesn’t interrupt me enough to make me feel like I’m not sleeping well.

Best moment of the week? Just one? Probably hearing Seth tell me (again) that he’s ready for our little girl to be here. I love comments like that from him. Another favorite moment is anytime she’s moving and kicking like crazy – and Seth can see/feel her.

Movement? Lots. I love every minute of it – even if it does feel weird. Sometimes I feel like she could just bust straight out of my belly on her own. But obviously that would be gross and we don’t want that to happen…

Gender? A little chica named Lilly Jo Apple. Joe was my dad’s name and after he died I always knew I’d want to name one of my children after him. He was the most wonderful father in the whole world and to say that I miss him would be the understatement of my life. But I think he’d be pretty proud to have a granddaughter named after him:)

Food cravings? Food. Lots of it. Especially anything with protein in it.

Belly button? Started popping out about a week or so ago…it’s half and half I’d say. Strange.

Maternity clothes? Most definitely. I’m actually at that stage where the stretchy part on some of my pants doesn’t fit over my belly, so I just scoot it down below the belly.

What I miss the most? Laying flat on my back to sleep. Mmm. Yep, miss it a lot.

What I’m looking forward to? Meeting Lilly Jo and seeing what she looks like. Looking her in the eyes for the first time and smiling at her:) Telling her “I love you” in person:)
