Maternity clothes? Yes - had to go get some new ones!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Wake up a lot through the night to get comfortable or go to the bathroom.
Best moment this week: Having my maternity pictures taken with the boys and Jeremy.  I can't wait to see the pictures and video from our session.  I also had a funny moment at a work meeting.  The baby was moving around like crazy because we had just had lunch in the meeting.  A coworker who was sitting next to me must have been watching me my belly move, because he leaned over and asked me if that was the baby making my belly move! 
Miss Anything?  Sleeping all night long!

Looking forward to: Seeing our new baby!!!!

31 Weeks Ultrasound

<March 4, 2013>

Our baby weighs 4 pounds 4 ounces and measured correctly to the day.  The baby is in the 60th percentile.  Looks like we are right on schedule despite all the comments about me having a huge baby and having it early :).

The baby was moving around like crazy during the ultrasound.  I told our ultrasound tech that he or she was constantly on the move.  The baby's hand was over its head.  It was so neat to see the baby moving around and to see the baby with the 4D ultrasound.  Those fat chubby cheeks are adorable.  I think he or she looks like Trace!  After seeing the sweet baby, I am more than ready to hold our third baby in my arms.  Won't be long!

Sleep: Starting to wake up during the night.  Guess my body is getting ready for when the baby gets here. 
Best moment this week: Hearing Jacob say that he is so ready for the baby to get here.  He has decided that he wants a little brother.  Trace says he is ready to have the baby so he can give the baby baths.  He doesn't say whether he wants a brother or a sister.  
Miss Anything? Running around with the boys.
Movement:  Always - In one moment I can feel like the baby is dancing on my bladder and trying to push out of my side - all at the same time.  He or she is definitely stretched out in there!
Food cravings: Still have to have that orange juice in the mornings.  Not eating as much now.  I can tell that the baby is getting big and that I don't have a lot of room left for food!

Have you started to show yet: Yes - This is getting to be a dumb question :).

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Our baby moon trip that Jeremy and I have planned this month.  It is just a one night getaway, but I know it will be our last trip without the kids for a while.  Ready for some relaxation!
