How far
along: 31 weeks
Maternity clothes: Still wearing a mix of maternity and pre-pregnancy clothes. My pre-pregnancy maxi dresses are now too short. I'm starting to hate getting dressed and sick of rotating between my few outfits.
Stretch marks: No, and hoping it stays that way. I'm alternating between using Palmer's cocoa butter, Mustela, and bio oil twice a day.
Sleep: Waking up 3-4 times in the night to use the restroom. I'm waking up with hip pain but it goes away quickly. It feels like I'm sore from a big workout. I get insomnia 1-2 times a week where I can't fall back asleep for hours.
Miss anything? I miss being comfortable and feeling thin. Everything is harder now- getting dressed, putting shoes on, getting in & out of my car, and painting my toes in between pedicures is out of the question. I also miss raw sushi, especially tuna.
Exercise: I'm back to my workout routine going to the gym for cardio a few times a week and take a step/weight class once a week, do my pregnancy workout DVD a few times a week, and we take Lily on walks a few days a week. I've been pretty good at sticking to doing something active five days a week.
Movement: The kicks are becoming stronger and more often, more like jolts. He's especially active when I'm laying on my side and sometimes it keeps me up at night. I've been starting to feel him slightly under my ribs and can feel an elbow or knee rolling. I don't see anything poking out yet but that area gets hard when he does it.
Food cravings: Nothing really just ice water
Anything make you queasy/sick? Car sickness.
Have you started to show yet: Definitely. I'm sick of strangers asking when I'm due and what I'm having... and of course I'm sick of their comments. If I could stay home all day everyday I would to avoid it.
Gender: Boy!
Belly button
in or out: In, but its getting really shallow now.
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Symptoms: Heartburn is back, I feel uncomfortable from a tight stomach and I have a faint line down my belly aka the linea nigra. Also getting "pregnancy mask"- I have a dark patch on my right cheek and forehead and have been wearing spf 30 everyday hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm waking up with hip pain. Also I have what I think is sciatica back pain, its only on my left side but is so painful. I've been super tired and needing a 1-2 hour nap every day and would sleep more if I could.
Happy or moody most of the time: Cranky this past week. I've been so tired, uncomfortable, hot, and feeling way too big.
Looking forward to: A much needed prenatal massage on Thursday. Hopefully it will help with my hip pain.
