31 weeks & Growth Scan update

How far along? 31 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: back to 12- I haven't seemed to gain anything in 3 weeks according to the Peri's electronic scale
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross. They multiply quickly and they get bigger in the blink of an eye.
Sleep: Ehh, it's on and off, depends whats on my mind. I have been sleeping with my feet where my head is supposed to be. I'm sure Mr. H loves that, lol. I don't know why but it seems to help keeping me sleeping.
Best moment this week: Seeing the little guy today at his growth scan
Movement: All the time and I love it
Food cravings: Anything that doesn't make me get up in the middle of the night. Pretty much anything that tastes good makes me get sick. I'm stuck with bread products lately.
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: NO. And it can stay that way for another 8 weeks. ThankYouVeryMuch!
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Christmas, my birthday (the 28th) New years and My shower. It's going to be a very busy few weeks!


Today I had another growth scan. Little man is now measuring 33weeks 1 day. The u/s tech always asks me to guess how much he weighs before the computer says it, so I guessed 3.12 since that seemed to be his pattern for the last few weeks. Not so much this appointment...He weighs a whopping 4.04 lbs! If my calculations are correct that is a pound and a half weight gain in 3 weeks, a half a pound a week! WOWZERS
The u/s tech said that I should expect an 8 to 9 pound baby if I make it to 39 weeks. Of course there is always a chance I may go early. He is still breech, his head and feet are nice and snug in my rib cage area. I was told he can still turn, or he may not. The bigger her gets the harder it will be for him to turn, so we will see what the next few weeks brings.

I will post pictures tomorrow, I have to get them on the computer. He is getting kinda squished so the pictures aren't as clear as some of the earlier ones.

  1. My baby was complete breech and didnt flip until around 35 weeks. I was starting to think she would never turn, but she did!
