How far along? 31 weeks 6 days

Weight loss/gain: Over 30 lbs.  I quit counting

Symptoms: 3rd tri exhaustion hit me this week and all I want to do is sleep.  Too bad I have a job and a family to take care of.  

Sleep: So exhausted I just pass out.

Best moment this week?  Getting more work done on the nursery, work shower is tomorrow.

Sex/Name of baby: Boy/Cooper

Food cravings: Pizza, mexican.

Belly button in or out? outish

Baby movement? He's running out of room but still active. 

What I miss? Fitting in small spaces.  Being able to move in a normal manner.  My lungs not being pushed up toward my head.

What I'm looking forward to? Finishing the nursery, cooler weather, and meeting this baby!

What I'm nervous about: going into labor at a really inconvenient time, but it's up to my body and the baby, so we are just going to have to make it work

I know this may sound awful at first, but it's totally positive and a compliment to you guys. It makes me feel so much better about myself to see some of you moms who have gained 25 plus or 30 plus lbs looking so cute and fit.  When I see the scale it makes me want to cry, but when I see all of you and the awesome bumps, it gives me hope that I really don't look like the elephant that I feel like.  So thank you!  You all look great.

Ok ok I'm jumping on the hdbd bandwagon finally.

31 weeks with baby boy Henry! (32w on Friday) I have no idea how much I've gained and I don't care
I'm exhausted but I'm so uncomfortable it's hard to sleep well.
We have our first birthing class tonight and I can't wait!
My dad was visiting from NJ this past week and brought me REAL bagels so that's been my biggest craving...with lots of cream cheese.
I miss giving myself a proper pedicure without huffing and puffing.
I can't wait to hold my little boy!
I'm nervous about delivery...hoping this class will help me feel more prepared!

I think you look fantastic... but you definitely have that look on your face like you're so over it and just want to go lie down :-P

Lol it was Monday morning. I had no make up on and did not want my picture taken. The girl next to me has been pregnant the same time that i have all the times. She also has two older girls!

Ok, here goes. First HDBD for me! And I'm ultra glam pre workout.
Up 21 lbs with baby girl, 31 weeks today.
Heartburn is the name of the game. Craving hamburgers and ice cream, anything unhealthy that will contribute to the heartburn.
I miss RUNNING, too much ligament pain to keep it up.
Nervous about going past my due date and being able to refuse an induction, I know I'll be tempted.
Excited about dd1 finally getting to meet her sister!

sfshorter

@mae208 - thank you!  I know we are pretty much all feeling the blahs at this point!    

@gwyneddlesliegrace   - haha, you and your family are precious, so I guess that means we can't like you either!

32 weeks! My HDBD photos are always so bad...I'm starting to think I just really look this bad.

babygiantquest

How far along? 30 weeks and 3 days

Weight loss/gain: I've gained 32 pounds overall.

Symptoms: Nesting has set in with a vengeance!  I've also been struck with a sudden burst of energy, which is amazing.  Third trimester is, thus far, treating me the best.

Sleep: The past week, I've actually slept through the night with no interruptions.  (Probably where all the energy is coming from...)

Best moment this week? My husband and I splurged and went to Bojangles for chicken biscuits after our OB appointment on Monday.  Going out for a meal together was lovely, even if we did spend the entire time talking about impending parenthood.  I also managed to get us signed up for childbirth and parenting classes at the hospital--we'd been having to wait on cancellations.  Definitely took a load off my mind!

Sex/Name of baby: Team Green--Julian Aleksandr for a boy, and Beatrice Agatha for a girl

Food cravings: That aforementioned chicken biscuit was spot-on amazing.

Belly button in or out? Still have an innie!

Baby movement? There's a 24/7 dance party going on in there, I swear.

What I miss? Sleeping on my stomach!

What I'm looking forward to? I can't wait until we start working on the nursery.  Our carpet is being replaced with laminate soon, so we're having to wait on that.

What I'm nervous about: Labor and delivery...

ETA: I can't take a self-photo to save my soul. Ugh.
