Re: Bump Pic Monday
How far along are you: 31 Weeks 4 Days
Size of Baby: Last Wednesday at the growth ultrasound he was 4.5 lbs... I am sure he is more now.
Weight Gain: Last week +27lbs
Maternity Clothes: Just about everything... they are just more comfortable
Movement: So much... today my entire belly was moving all day. I am not sure if he ever sleeps!

What I miss: Sleep!
Team: Blue!
Belly Button in or out: Flat
Cravings: Sugar... I love it!
Is your nursery done: No, I am waiting till after the shower on the 19th of February.
Do you fel ready: NO, I am nervous and scared. Not about labor, but about raising the child. For 8 years my husband and I have been so happy, I dont want anything to change. Also, work is very stressfull. I am worried I wont be able to perform as well once the baby is here. I am hoping once the baby is here I will feel more comfortable!
Stretch Marks: I think i have a little one on my boob. They are so swollen who can tell!?
How do you feel about your weight gain: It is all for a good cause. I am not upset or happy. It is what it is. I am sure I will lose it after the baby comes.

Is your nursery done? NO! Finally bought pain but have not done a thing. What are we waiting for?!?!
Do you feel ready? I think I am ready for labor/birth and to have the little guy in my arms. But we haven't had our shower yet, so we don't really have much of what we need.
Stretch Marks? fingers crossed, I've made it this far
How do you really feel about your weight gains of far? I am not too worried right now, but I am sort of apprehensive about the next 10 weeks or so. I really want to stay in my 35lb range.DS2 born 2/22/13

How do you really feel about your weight gains of far? I think my doctor is going to recommend that I start packing on the weight. It has always been difficult for me to gain weight; I'm only 4'11 and have a tiny frame. I've gained +15 and it's all been obviously going to the baby but I just want to make sure that my baby is healthy once she's born

YOU are adorable, Momma!!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 31 weeks 6 days.
Size of Baby: Almost 4 pounds
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +17
Maternity Clothes: All
Movement: She rolled over, so she is spine up. I get her sticking her butt out and playing down by my crotch. No more of the big kick she was giving me before.
Symptoms: I'm hot, tired, and I have a bad cold right now so everything feels worse right now.

Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Girl!
Belly button In or Out: Almost out.
Cravings: Chocolate and lemon.
Is your nursery done? Almost. We still need to get a glider, but we have most of the big stuff. I'm working on washing the clothes and putting them away. And my mom is still working on the quilt for the bed.
Do you feel ready? Some days I feel ready, other days not so much. I also worry about how the dynamic will change between DH and I, but I think we can roll with the punches.
Stretch Marks? Yep. I have little dots on my hips (continuation from puberty) and all over my stomach. DH calls them my flames, like on a hot rod.
How do you really feel about your weight gains so far? I have been trying to keep my weight gain under control as best I can. I was having weight issues before getting pregnant (I had seen 2 doctors about my gaining). I honestly feel worse about the stretchmarks all over my belly than I do about gaining the 17 pounds so far.
31 weeks 2 days
I missed out on the bare belly bump from last week, so I'm going to try uploading 2 this time!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 29 weeks 4 days
Size of Baby: Around 3 pounds
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +24
Maternity Clothes: Mostly, but still in some regular leggings and dresses
Movement: All the time these days. It is reassuring, but kinda frustrating when I'm trying to sleep!
Symptoms: All of a sudden I get really full and then not too much later I'm STARVING!!!
What I Miss: Champange
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Green
Belly button In or Out: In, but very flat
Cravings: Strawberry ice cream
Is your nursery done? Nope, but painting is done, closets are cleaned out, and crib was just ordered!
Do you feel ready? Not in the least!
Stretch Marks? Nope, I do have some faint ones on my thighs, but those were there before I got pregs.
How do you really feel about your weight gains of far? It's starting to get to me. I was so sure that I'd only gain 25 - 30 tops, but I'm already at 24 and still have about 10 weeks to go...I keep trying to tell myself that it doesn't really matter, but as a recovered anorexic, it gets hard to believe. It does help when I hear that I'm all belly though!
How Far Along: 29 weeks, 6 days. Hit 30 weeks tomorrow!
Size of Baby: 2.5 lbs or maybe a bit more?
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +22ish.
Maternity Clothes: All...so comfy.
Movement: I feel like she rolls a lot and I get lots of flutters and thumps. I think she's head down and I can feel her butt/back a lot.
Symptoms: HUNGER! And the constant peeing.
What I Miss: Not much...missed drinking this weekend when DH had a cantaloupe mojito that smelled SO good.
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Baby girl
Belly button In or Out: Flat
Cravings: Yogurt and grapes...and oreos
Is your nursery done? The only thing left is getting the dresser and putting up the closet doors. (and setting up all the items we get from our showers)
Do you feel ready? I am ready to meet this incredible little human growing inside me...I want to see her and snuggle her. But I am not ready in the sense that we still need diapers and all the other baby "necessities" (besides my boobs, haha)
Stretch Marks? Not yet - hoping it stays that way!
How do you really feel about your weight gains of far? I was really thrown off by my last Dr appt when I had gained 8 lbs in 4 weeks. I think I have been better this month and I am hoping to get a good report this Friday. I still feel like I look good and know that I will work hard to get back down to my original size, so honestly the weight doesn't bother me as long as the Dr says I'm still healthy.Someone's getting a little brother!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 28 wks 5 days
Size of Baby: 2.5-3lbs
Total Weight Gain/Loss: -5
Maternity Clothes: All pants. Tops 1/2 and 1/2
Movement: Lots. Between all the kicks and turns its sometimes distracting. But Im starting to feel more jabs/pokes than kicks it seems over the last couple of days.
Symptoms: Backache, tired at the end of the day, occasional gas, and some heartburn.
What I Miss: Laying on my stomach, and my Moscato to unwind at the end of a long week.
Girl, Boy, or Team Green: Boy
Belly button In or Out: Still in.
Cravings: Spicey foods over the last week, but nothing currently.
Is your nursery done? Its a work in progress. The crib, glider rocker and ottomon, and changing table are in. And the bookshelf. Still need to find a dresser and decorate. Mostly just need finishing touches.
Do you feel ready? Not yet. Im sure that once the nursery is more complete, I will feel more ready. But Im sure some anxiety will still be there.
Stretch Marks? A few. Definitely not a fan of them, thats for sure.
How do you really feel about your weight gains of far? I feel good so far. I have fluctuated up and down throughout and so with all the ups and downs It equates out to a loss of 5lbs. So Im pretty close to what I weighed pre-pregnancy. Which seems weird to me.Thanks. You are probably right. I know she doesn't have mean intentions but I wish she would think about what she's saying. Oh well.
I have gotten this kind of comment from my mom once, and while, like you, I know she didn't mean it in a nasty way, it kind of sucked. For one of my recent pics, she was like, I don't think I was as big as you at that point. I wanted to be like, well mom, probably not given that you were severely anorexic at that time, but I don't say that (my mom didn't know she was pregnant with me until 5 months due to a very unhealthy eating disorder). You would think someone who's battled body image, and who has a daughter who's battled it as well (me), she would stop to think, but no. I guess the most important is that we know they aren't trying to be hurtful.
Thank you that is so sweet of you to say! My sister took some maternity photos over the weekend. She got some great photos... I will eventually post some more.
