Here we are for another installment of the week update. 31 weeks! Sleep is hit or miss really. This morning is the first time my insomnia has really hit. And by insomnia I mean being awake enough to actually get out of bed. I'm not including the mornings were I toss & turn for hours. Apparently baby girl has hair because I have heartburn this morning. It could've also been the meaty pizza or the buffalo wings which was oh so tasty. I also think baby girl likes spicy foods because she sure likes to jump around after spicy foods. Another thing she's been fond of lately is laying as low as she can go! Oh, I'm not fighting a rib monster like so many, I am fighting a pelvic monster. I worry sometimes that she'll push or stretch in such a way that she starts labor early. We've had a talk, she must wait at least another 5-6 weeks to make sure she's big & healthy enough. I still find it amazing that she seems to listen to me & respond. Anytime I'm concerned about not feeling her I just talk to her & ask her to move/kick & within a minute she'll do just that. Call me crazy but I swear she understands. Maybe she just likes being talked too but half the time I'm whispering so maybe there is some ESP going on. Mike has asked more about her lately. He'll ask if she moved that day or how much she's moved. She's definitely not as active as she has been but she's still squirming once in a while. I wish she squirmed more so he could feel her. A few judo kicks in the evenings for daddy to feel!
Baby's room/stuff is coming along. I washed a few loads of baby laundry this week. I washed her newborn clothes, socks, hats, mittens, burp clothes, & lots of blankets-receiving & bed ones. I also washed her car seat fabric parts. I need to wash her playmat since the person who I bought it from didn't care to pre-wash it. Yuck! I just ordered replacement parts for my breast pump. All in all, her stuff is coming together. We still need a swing but actually, that might be solved. Now it's time for ALL the little stuff. We do have some of the little stuff already but I know there is a ton of stuff we still need. Shopping trip! I keep wanting to involve Mike in the shopping but he's not big on baby shopping really. Maybe I can get him to tag along on Sunday if I feel like doing the little things shopping.
Ticker Time: Nearly 4 lbs & 17 inches. Holy cow! I figured she'd still be close to 3 lbs & chances are she's about 3.5 lbs right now but still, WOW! Bigger & Bigger she gets. She better stay a little small. I don't want no Jessica Simpson 10 lb baby popping out of me! :)
Well that's about it. Still in amazement that we're about 2 months from holding our very own baby girl. OUR baby girl. Not a niece, not a friend's baby, not staring at a stranger's baby wishing she were mine. Our Daughter! I can't wait! But I gladly will! At least a few more weeks. :)
