This past week has been pretty uneventful, in a good way. I'm feeling back to normal with minimal pain. Yippy!!! I'm back to organizing the house and updating Rory's bedroom. Our family room was starting to look like a daycare with all of Rory's toys sprawled all over the place. So I decided that since he has a decent size walk-in closet, and not a whole lot of clothes to fill it, I would turned it into a toy closet for him. Besides, what three-year-old can reach their clothing on the standard-height rods? And he picks out his clothes everyday, so a majority of his clothes are in his dresser. Using his closet as toy storage just seemed like the perfect solution. Although his closet is 90% done, I'm still elbow-deep in updating his room. But that's my project for April, so I still have some time to finish. And as always, photos will follow...I promise! Like I said, pretty uneventful, right?!?
Someone at Panda Express must know we're expecting a baby...

Shelly is my obsession right now...

Rory
Rory has been a CHAMP with helping us move the baby's stuff from his room to the nursery. I thought he would have some trouble letting go of some of the toys and gear, but he seems to be "on board" with the baby. In fact, he got a little upset when he saw some baby stuff being donated yesterday. He started yelling from his car seat, "NO! For baby!" I guess I wasn't completely clear when I told him that it was for a baby. He apparently thought it was for our baby. He calmed down when I told him that Nama (my mom) was going to have a party for our baby and that's why we needed to give the stuff to another baby.

Week 31...
 |
| My bump is out there! |
 |
| Yup that's water weight. That's the mark left from the seam of my pants. I need to down gallons and gallons of water ASAP |
How far along? 31 Weeks & 1 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 26 lbs (I'm pretty this week's weight gain is mostly water)
Maternity clothes? Still both maternity and non-maternity.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: So so, I'm having trouble falling asleep and I'm waking up in the middle of night and having trouble falling back asleep. :0(
Best moment this week: Organizing closets! Making progress on the house feels so good!

Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Subway sandwich...boo! <----- always. I miss not feeling so heavy. I miss my old self when I could move around in bed with ease.
Movement: Tons, especially when I drink ice water. It's as if the baby gets the chills.
Food cravings: Nope

Food cravings: Nope
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating is still making me nauseous and making me throw up every once in a while
Symptoms: The symptoms are not as intense as they were last week, but I'm still dealing with back pain, rib pain, leg/feet cramps, water weight, and heartburn. I woke up this morning to thee worst leg cramp. It hurt so bad I jumped out of bed to stretch it out and immediately dropped to my knees in pain. Then the cramp shot up to my hamstring, so I stood up and then dropped back down to my knees. The up and down continued for a minute or two and I'm sure I looked hilarious. I probably would've thought it was funny if I wasn't in so much pain.

Have you started to show yet: Oh yeah! I've really popped out in the last week. I can definitely see a difference in the size of my bump
Gender prediction: I'm sticking with a girl
Labor Signs: Nope :0)
Belly Button in or out? Barely in and it's tender to the touch. Which means it's gonna flatten out pancake-style soon
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy, but I've had a few moments of grumpiness.
Looking forward to: My doctor's appointment next week. Hopefully we can start finalizing some loose ends, like registering at the hospital and our birth plan. And our last trip to California before the baby arrives and seeing everyone at my baby sprinkle. Did you know that for the second child, a baby shower is called a baby sprinkle??? Instead of showering the mom-to-be with gifts, we're sprinkling the new baby with love!
