31 Weeks!

I cannot believe I am 31 weeks now!  Time really has flown by and to think I am now in the final weekly countdown with only single digits left!  Seriously??  When you think about it, I'm 9 weeks until my due date and only 6 weeks left where I'm considered full term.  I still have so much organizing and stuff left to do, but I'm going to try and just take things one day at a time.

This past couple weeks since being back from Arizona has been my turning point where I finally feel pregnant.  I have started to feel overwhelming exhaustion, pressure in my lower abdomen and stretch marks OH THE STRETCH MARKS!  I thought I was going to get through this pregnancy 100% free of stretch marks, but I finally got some on my tummy.  Hopefully they will go away afterwards so I'm trying not to dwell on them. 

Here is my ginormous belly at 31 weeks!

******

How far along: 31weeks
Total weight gain: 25 total pounds as of pre-pregnancy weight since my last appointment.  At this point in my pregnancy I should have gained 21 to 27 pounds....so I'm right in the normal range :)
Maternity clothes: Yes!
Main symptoms: VERY tired, breathless, back hurting all day now, waddling and I started to feel major pressure in my lower stomach.  Heartburn has now kicked into full force.  I have never had heartburn before so this feeling is all new to me.
Exercise: Ummmm, no. I'm way too tired anymore, but I should try my prenatal yoga maybe that will help with the back pain?
Best moment:  Making some progress on the organizing and putting things away in the nursery.  It's fun to see things coming together.
Movement: All the time now, but he is mostly active at night....go figure. He is very predictable on when he starts moving around now, it's fun to see his daily patterns.
Food cravings: None yet, I still eat very normal.  My problem is not having weird cravings, but I get very indecisive on what I want to eat these days.
Gender: Boy. There is no mistaken now we are team blue!
Labor signs: None yet. If I'm getting Braxton Hicks I'm not aware of it yet.
Belly button in or out? It's still a battle, but I'm still winning as it's still an innie!
What I miss: Having all my energy! The simplest tasks are so exhausting anymore, I feel horrible about it. I can never keep up anymore!
What I am looking forward to: Getting Nuggie's room up and running to start organizing and doing the fun part of decorating
Milestones: Nugget is still the size of a butternut squash and we are weighing in at about 3 1/2 pounds now and about 11 3/4 inches long!
