31 Week Bumpdate



The heart rate today was 160 and all is well.

Little Man is so active.  I don't really know when this kid sleeps because it seems like he is always moving.  He especially likes to kick whenever I am laying down. 

According to the doctor's scale, I lost a pound.  It's no wonder since I have been so sick lately.  Last Friday I was up all night sick and the doctor said there was a GI bug going around.  The last two days I have been really nauseous and throwing up but I'm starting to feel better.

Despite the heat and humidity, the swelling has not been bad.  I am surprised by this but I'm not complaining.  I still try to wear long pants all the time in case those elephant ankles surprise me.   

Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues. I have been having some lower back cramps but the doctor doesn't seem concerned. 

I don't ever sleep through the night anymore because I'm either uncomfortable or have to pee but I don't usually have any issues falling back to sleep when I'm up.

I have been craving carrots for some reason.  But not just any carrots.  Carrots cooked in brown sugar.  This is the way my Mom has always made them and that's all I want to eat!

My baby shower is in two weeks and I can't wait!!  My Mom said that she hasn't received many responses, though, so that's a bummer.  People, if you got an invite, my Mom is old school and put her home telephone number on there.  You have to call!  You can't text!
On a better note, my final end date for work is July 12th.  I am off the 4th and the 5th for the holiday and then I only have one week left!!  We are going to keep Baby Girl in daycare for one extra week just so I can get the house cleaned and get some things caught up.

I am very excited and nervous about staying home.  I know that I will have a great time with my little ones but I fear that I will crave adult interaction too.  I guess we'll just see how it goes!


 
I have now had numerous people tell me I look like I'm ready to pop and I had one person ask me if I am having twins.  Um...I've only gained 16lbs in 31 weeks.  Do I really look that big?!?!  I actually thought I looked a little smaller this week!

Next Bumpdate in two weeks!

    I feel the same way! I feel like I'm huge and then I've only gained about 8lbs in 16 weeks. And I think it's all in my chest! :o)
    SO excited you have an end date for work!! Try to find a mommy and me group. I've tried and failed....I'm just not good at making friends/meeting new people out of my comfort zone.
    I hope people respond to those invites, it's annoying when they don't!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purcha...

Serious Daycare Advice Needed!!!

Ok now I am looking for some serious advice.  If you've read some of my earlier posts, you will know that I'm not a big fan of daycare.  I really hate leaving my Baby Girl with people I don't really know all day long.  Now we know the woman who takes care of Baby Girl for the most part which really helps and was the deciding factor in her going to that particular daycare. The problem I am now having is that there have been 3 or 4 times when I have picked Baby Girl up from daycare and she has had a bad fever.  I'm not talking a little 99 degree fever.  I'm talking you could fry an egg on the palm of her hand 102 degree fever.  It happened again last night.  When I got there, the afternoon lady was holding her and as soon as I took her, I could feel the heat radiating off of her.  When I got her home, her temperature was 102.9.  This is not they kind of temperature you play around with.  Since Baby Girl has been prone to fevers for s...
