31 weeks!

Quick update for those who aren't on Facebook or happened to miss something. 
So about a week and a half ago (8/17) I was out with my girlfriends and the kids, and as we were all heading back home I tripped over the wheel of a bike and fell... partly on my stomach. Thankfully I tried to catch myself with my arm and knee (I still have some road rash on my knee) and I only hit on the right side. One of my friends called the paramedics and the other called her husband to get Jared over. It wasn't long before baby girl was moving like crazy, which as much as that made the pain I was in worse it was a relief. The paramedics came and checked me out and everything was looking ok. They still suggested I get checked out, so Jared took me to the clinic and a doctor who is also a certified midwife did a more thorough check. Baby girl's heart rate was good and everything checked out fine. 
At my last doctor appointment on 8/23 my blood pressure was great as well as my urine sample. My total weight gain this pregnancy is 19 pounds with 2 more months to go. Dr Steele says I'm doing great with my weight and says to keep it up. My appointments now go to every 2 weeks, so it means traveling a little sooner than I am use to. Thankfully I have a great bladder and can usually make the drive without having to stop.
In less than a month I will be moving up to my parent's house until this little girl decides to come. It really doesn't make sense for me to be driving up every week and I am guessing I wont want to travel that much. This means I have less than 1 month to get all my sewing projects done for this little girl. I still need to make burp cloths (I made the same kind for my friend who just had a baby in July and she says they are the best), 2 pillowcases for the throw pillows for the futon in the baby's room, the canopy cover for the car seat, and the arm saver for the handle of the car seat. Thankfully these sewing projects aren't too tricky and will only take a day/night each. The house seems to be mostly in order for this girl to join us so that is a relief. The tricky thing will be getting things organized after any baby showers that will happen over the next few weeks.

Now on to my usual weekly(ish) post info. 

How Far Along: 31 weeks 7 Days (32 weeks tomorrow)
Baby's Size: Not sure... my app is on my kindle which is dead at the moment.
Gender: Girl
Sleep: If I get the right head support sleep is great.
Miss Anything: My right side not constantly feeling pushed on (baby girl loves to hang out on only my right side)
Movement: I feel this girl move all the time. I can usually tell where she is. However whenever I try to let someone else feel her move she decides to be shy and stops.
Food Cravings: Chocolate Chip Cookies have been my favorite this week.
Food Aversions: Fish, Hot Dogs, Eggs
Happy or Moody Overall: Moody
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Coming home to 2 very excited boys (Bo & Sam) that missed me while I was in South Jordan, date night/shopping trip with Jared last night.
Looking Forward To: Dinner with friends tomorrow night, the baby shower my mom & sister are throwing for me on the 3rd.

29 weeks!

Hard to believe we're already in the 3rd trimester. Only 11 weeks (ish) to go. 

How Far Along: 29 weeks 7 days (in other words I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow)
Baby's Size: Butternut Squash (15.25 in 2.5 lbs)
Gender: Girl
Sleep: I've had some issues with breathing so going to sleep can be a challenge (I sometimes go into a panic thinking of going to sleep - yep totally irrational). As long as I get the right amount of pillows under my head and have my wedge pillow I can still sleep.
Miss Anything: Being able to breathe normally - I've still got some congestion from my cold and baby girl thinks that up towards my lungs is a great place to just hang out.
Movement: This girl is a mover (she's a Wonnacott that's for sure). When possible I make sure Jared gets the chance to feel her moving around. She either is hanging out way too high (where my lungs are) or way down low. 
Food Cravings: Ice Cream, Watermellon, Anything cool/cold really.
Food Aversions: Fish, Hot Dogs, Eggs
Happy or Moody Overall: Moody
Best Moment(s) of the Week: Watching the Olympics with Jared, enjoying the last week of Jared's summer break.
Looking Forward To: Finishing projects for our baby girl
