31 weeks with Koy Boy

@31 weeks

Lunch at Cracker Barrell

How far along? 31 weeks

Size of the baby: Our baby is the size of a large coconut - about 16 inches long and weighing about 3.3 pounds.

Interesting Facts this week: Koy can turn his head from side to side and because he is also reacting to sound now, he seems to be startled very easily.  His irises are also fully developed and so he can see flickers of light from outside the womb.  ALL five senses are developed now!

Maternity clothes? A. MUST.

Stretch marks? None, but I'm not sure it's going to stay this way.

Sleep: Bathroom trips keep me from getting a full night of sleep, but I am sleeping much better than with Blakey at this point, and not as well as I was when I was pregnant with Jacee-Kay.  Somewhere in between.  I really miss sleeping on my belly.  Looking forward to that moment in time again.

Best moment this week: Finishing the dresser and putting KOY's letters on his wall.

Miss Anything? Did I mention I missed sleeping on my belly? Also, a margarita would be nice.

Movement: Koy moves constantly. He is so active. In fact, the nurses are shocked that when they try to hear his heartbeat with a stethoscope, and then he can quickly change positions he is so fast!

Food cravings: Ice Cream. And just plain hunger. I am constantly hungry right now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Very Motion Sick Prone.  Driving home from work and driving to work everyday.

Have you started to show yet: Showing very much.

Gender: It's a boy!

Labor Signs: Occasional Braxton Hicks,

Belly Button in or out? Still an Innie.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

How are you feeling? I'm down to two pair of pants that fit me and about five shirts.

I have severe leg cramps every night. My face has a double chin. I eat every meal like it's my favorite food. But, I am also feeling very very blessed.
