If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Beauden-31 Weeks


How far along? 31 Weeks 
Baby is the size of a... should weigh as much as 4 oranges, but not my kid.  He is nearly a pound heavier.  
Total weight gain: 27 lbs
Maternity clothes? Yep.  Gap has been my friend.  My favorites are Gap Body oversized t-shirts, camis and maxi skirts.  
Stretch marks? No, even though I use lotion everyday I have heard stretch marks are hereditary.
Sleep?: Sleep is better than before, but still not great.  A cold room and 2 pillows is the best scenario.
Best moment this week: Seeing Beau wiggle on the ultrasound.  He is HUGE!  Maybe he will come sooner now.  Measuring about 1.5 weeks ahead.  
Miss Anything? Being able to sit up on my own.  It is sweet to watch hubs run over to help me though.  Not funny when he leaves me to wiggle until I hurl myself on my side.  I think he does it just for fun....
Movement: Like I never imagined.  I don't know how he still has room, but mark my word, he makes it happen!  Lots of kicks on the right side and body rolls all day!  
Food cravings: Snow cones or a Sonic cherry limeade.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still not doing great with Chicken, although it is bearable. 
Gender: Still a boy
Labor Signs: Nope, nothin.
Symptoms: Back pain is getting worse on the right side.  
Belly Button in or out?  Although he was strong, my belly button has been defeated by karate kid.  
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!!!
Looking forward to: Moving into our new apt!
