Baby Makes Three (31 Weeks)

Hunter Grayson Granados Due 09-12-2013  

How Far Along? 31 Weeks & 3rd Trimester
Baby Size: Head of Lettuce est. 18 inches & 3.2 pounds (according to What To Expect iPhone app)

Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds ( I haven't gained anything since my last appointment according to their scales.

What Are The Doctors Saying? I went for an ultrasound and check up this week while I was 30 weeks & 6 days. The ultrasound went fantastic! Baby Hunter is weighing in around 3 pounds & 11 ounces. My ovarian cyst is still measuring as large as ever but it's not growing or shrinking. I believe this will be my last ultrasound before Hunter comes unless I schedule a 4D one like I want too. Hunter is in the head down position and the ultrasound tech said he may stay like that for the rest of the pregnancy so we're getting closer and closer to meeting our baby boy! At my check up the doctor said I haven't gained anything since my last check up 3 weeks prior. Nothing really special happened except that Jordan was able to come to both appointments! I have been feeling really sick and not normal the last few weeks as many as you know and we finally have an answer! Somehow I have had a GI bug and gave it to Jordan. It has definitely been rough with both of us being sick. Next appointment we are going over my birth plan, getting an exam to check for anything that shows signs of early labor & antibiotics I'll need during labor, and hopefully see some weight gain.

Symptoms: Sore feet. Lower back pain. Abdominal pressure. GI bug (I'm not going to go into details here) for my husband and I. It gets really bad at night with the pressure and sharp pains but my doctor has reassured me that it is normal with the GI bug and all my organs repositioning.

Movement: We still have a little ninja on our hand. He's becoming more active in different positions but his favorite seems to be when I'm laying on my side. Hunter loves to hear his daddy talk and "play" with him. Jordan will poke my belly and wait to feel and see another poke from his son. Just to see the smile that comes up on his face especially when Jordan gets really close to my stomach to talk to Hunter in spanish/english.

Best Moment This Week: Having Jordan at my appointments this week was definitely the best moment. With his old work schedule he hasn't been able to come to any ultrasounds or appointments since my 19 week check up in North Carolina. This may have been our last ultrasound before our son arrives and it meant a lot that Jordan was able to be there.

Food Cravings: Cereal, Cereal, Cereal, and more cereal. I think I personally go through about 2 boxes in a week. Thank god I have started a little cereal stockpile thanks to couponing and I don't have to have Jordan run out to the store for a box.

Swelling: I have had no swelling except for my feet after a grocery shopping trip this week. My feet are the only things that are swelling but it's only when I'm on them for too long. Let's hope it stays this way!

Looking Forward To: We have a date set, a place, and the menu planned for the baby shower on July 21st! I can't wait for my seusstastic baby shower!

Until Next Time
XOXO
