How far along? 31 Weeks...the plan that most likely will happen is a scheduled cesarian at 39 weeks, so I only have 8 more weeks left!!
Total weight gain? Let's just say that at my Dr's apt last week I gained as much weigh in a two week period as I did in a months time over the holidays. When I noticed the huge gain of weight I said "Holy Cow". It took the nurse by surprise, I mean really how many people say Holy Cow in Upstate NY? But I think she thought I was referring to myself and started telling me all the reasons why the rapid gain and that I'm still in the target weight gain. Like I said to her, I really don't care...It's what comes with having a baby!!
Maternity clothes? I can still get away with a lots of my regular shirts and t-shirts still!
Stretch marks? No new ones since last post
Sleep? I actually have been sleeping quite comfortably up until last night. I slept horribly because it has become so difficult to breath and it's taking a lot of work to do so. But I was able to get a nice long nap in the recliner before Weston got home from school.
Best moment this week: I over did it and so I was paying for it one night. As i was laying on the couch Weston came up and started brushing my bangs back, kissed me on the forehead and said in the sweetest little voice, "Mom I'm so glad that Jesus put me in your belly. Jesus put me in your belly right?"
Miss anything: Not working so hard at breathing!! I remember the difficult breathing with Weston, but it didn't start this early!
Baby Movement: It's staring to get less and less as I'm sure the room in there is getting smaller and smaller.
Food cravings: Anything and everything!
Anything make you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: Now it's 100% confirmed and girl!!
Labor signs: Nope!
Symptoms: Still the back, now the breathing, and I noticed that I'm starting in with the waddle!
Belly button in or out? Pretty much gone. It weirds Nick out!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but noticed over the weekend that I'm starting to swell a little.
Happy or moody most of the time? I think that I'm mostly pleasant to be around!!
Looking forward to: Seeing if we can have just one more miracle with this baby and have her flip into position. With the problems that I have, if the baby is not already in position the chances that she will have the room to flip is very small and the Dr's won't try to flip her because of my conditions. But if she happens to do it on her own, then I am going to attempt a VBAC.

So glad things are going so well! Can't believe you're already down to 8 weeks! Although that probably sounds like forever right now. :)
