31 weeks

Baby August and I hit the 31 week mark this week, oh how the time flies! I cannot believe it has already been more than three weeks since out last update. We have both done a lot of growing and are right on track with our measurements. However, I was shocked at my weigh in yesterday... nothing like jumping on the scale to kill that pregnancy "glow." I am all for eating healthy and indulging a little while you are pregnant so I am not sure how this time around the pounds really seem to be adding up faster than with Lucy. Oh well, a healthy baby is all that matters. I am still having braxton-hicks everyday and they seem to be getting stronger and stronger as we progress. We have gotten to the point where it is impossible to lay on my back, or really any side, and be comfortable. I definitely feel a baby in there instead of just feeling like I have a big belly. The movement has not slowed down at all but now it feels like actual little baby body parts. Lately it has been what feels like a little hiney sticking out just to the right of my belly button that gets Jameson and I both laughing as we watch the rolls and tumbles. The midwife yesterday said that I probably can feel how it is laying better than she can at this point until baby gets a little bigger. The highlight of the appointment was being reminded that we get another ultrasound at 36 weeks, only 5 weeks away!, to make sure that baby is head down and in position for delivery. Keeping my fingers crossed it will be face down too, unlike Lucy and all the other babies in my family. I have noticed lately that I have been consuming a ton of acidic foods, tomatoes, orange juice, pineapple, and still crave coffee but I do limit myself. Hopefully this means baby will be able to tolerate it in breast milk too. I have been talking more about the baby with Lucy even though I know she doesn't really understand. I'm guessing she will just start calling her belly "baby" but I still try and make sure to call it our baby.

So here we are... all 31 weeks of us :)
