At 31 weeks, I can't fit really any of my pre-pregnancy clothes. I was hanging on to some shirts but even my loose, baggy plain t's have been pushed to their limits. This means that not only do I spend my life in Jeff's gym shorts, I also live in his t-shirts too. I can't get over how attractive pregnancy has made me.
I have a feeling that he will come a little early. I started having frequent Braxton Hicks contractions at 19 weeks, and while some days are a lot worse than others, I still have several a day and sometimes 7-8 an hour. I'd worry more but my doc has always brushed it off when I bring it up and since he hasn't come yet, we're probably fine. I hope. In any case, I've been taking it really easy this whole pregnancy especially since I've noticed that walking around and even easy working out makes them worse. So I'm a little chunkier than I'd like to be and that part has been hard, but it's 110% worth it for this little baby of ours.
We finally decided on a (first name) - he will be Caden, called Cade. We haven't settled on a middle name as of yet. He might not have one. I don't know.
MISS ANYTHING: Being able to bend over and do a good job shaving my legs. TMI? Too bad.
FOOD CRAVINGS: Diet coke. As per usual, I can *always* go for a good taco.
ANYTHING MAKE YOU QUEASY: Nope.
WEIGHT GAIN: I can't even talk about it.
STRETCH MARKS: Still none yet. I'm hoping this champ skin of mine holds on for the long haul.
HAPPY OR MOODY: Happy with a side of moody. I'm still in awe of the fact that there is a tiny human growing in my belly. Moody sometimes because I haven't slept much in 3 weeks and that's getting the best of me.
SYMPTOMS: So this is weird, but I've noticed all my joints are getting loose. In the morning, my fingers are so sore and loose that they try to dislocate even for simple, easy things like pulling on a pair of pants. It's crazy weird. I've started noticing all kinds of random aches and pains that I'm sure are par for the course. #thingstheydon'ttellyouaboutpregnancy
AND A NEW ONE: Weird and/or inappropriate comments made by friends, family, and strangers. I'm a pretty hard person to offend, so honestly pretty much all of this has just cracked me up. You always hear about the weird things people say to pregnant folks and it's actually true.
From a stranger old lady: "How much weight have you gained?" The worst part was I actually answered with the correct number. Not that she was able to compare it with what I looked like before hand. Because, like I said... she was a stranger.
From the cashier at the grocery store: "How much longer til you're due?" "2 months." "Yeah... you look like you're about done.
