31 weeks!

How Far along: 31 weeks, 1 day

Total weight gain: I still prefer to remain ignorant, but between swelling and all the crap we ate while at the beach, I think I gained 8 lbs in one week. My doctor may not be too happy with me.

Maternity clothes: Oh yes. But I am proud to say that I rocked a bikini while at the beach. Other's may not of appreciated it, but I felt comfortable in it, and Jonathan didn't think I looked like a whale. Bless his heart.

Sleep: Ok. While we were at the beach I slept great. I was worn out from being in the sun all day, and we had a spacious King size bed. I was able to have pillows surrounding me without crowding Jon off the bed. Last night (the first night back) I slept a total of about 2.5 hours. I saw every hour last night. My body pillow felt hot and scratchy, I had to try to turn over by lifting my body with my legs which in turn woke me up because of the pain in my hips, and then on top of all that, the cats were so glad to see us come home that they wanted to show it to us by keeping us up all night. 2 little kitties almost found themselves in the basement last night. So, needless to say, last night's sleep was crappy. Hopefully tonight will go better.

Best moment this week: Being at the beach! We went to Panama City, and it was beautiful. The water was nice, not a tarball to be seen, and the temperature didn't get above 90.

Movement: Nightly dance party. Now, when I roll on my side, she kicks (or punches) the mattress and we can see and feel either knees or elbows roll across the side of my belly that is up. Really weird looking, but cool at the same time

Gender: Sweet baby girl.

Labor signs: No, thank you.

Belly button: Getting more and more shallow. And the skin is definitely stretching because its starting to feel uncomfortable all around my belly button.

Stretch Marks: No new ones.

Cravings: I never got my crab legs. I just couldn't bring myself to pay market price for them ($28/lb).

Milestones: fitpregnancy.com says that baby should be in the head down position now. I think she is hanging out sideways. I feel all the movement on the sides with the occasional bladder jab.
