7 Months

At my last appointment, I measured "small for dates", so Clarissa sent me off for another ultrasound. I don't know if I have a secret hiding compartment or what, but the child is not small. Basically the baby measured right at or bigger than s/he is supposed to. Baby's weight is estimated at 3lbs 12oz - I think they gain about 1/2lb a week at this point, so by July 1st that's 7 1/2 - 8lbs - and that will be a week and a half early!

(Mako says, "What? Not another one!")

How far along? 31 weeks tomorrow

Total weight gain/loss: 25-27lbs, honestly, I'm not keeping very good tabs on that right now!

Maternity clothes? yes

Stretch marks? same as last month's update

Sleep: Some nights I sleep well, some nights I hardly sleep. I am currently using 3 pillows to combat how much I dislike side sleeping.

Movement: yes - as in visible, alien-baby moving in my abdomen movement

Food cravings: nothing in particular - although ice cream sounds really good tonight!

Labor Signs: I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions, but I don't really think of them as labor signs. I had them for at least 20 weeks with Annalise!

Belly Button in or out? flatish

Wedding rings on or off? on

What I miss: Annalise's nap

What I am looking forward to: July 1st

Milestones: Being far enough along to schedule the c-section seems big to me.
