32 Weeks!

How far along? 32w
Weight gain/loss: Up 31 lbs now.
Maternity clothes? Finding things to wear to work is getting to be quite a task, but I refuse to buy any more maternity clothes with eight or so weeks left.
Stretch marks? Nope, nope, NOPE!
Sleep? Pretty decent lately, just having a hard time getting my booty out of bed for work in the morning.
Best moment this week? Finding out I passed the Glucose Tolerance Test. I wasn't too worried about it, but you really never know, so I was relieved to get that news.
Food cravings? Nothing new really.
Gender: Still a girl
Belly button in or out? Outie
Movement? Bobby saw my belly bouncing the other morning and says, "Are you doing that??" Ummmm.....do you think I can do that? Nope, it's your crazy daughter bustin' a move!
What I'm looking forward to: Getting my last four weeks of work over with! I finally set my last day for August 10th and I couldn't be more excited.
Milestones: Brynnlee should be growing more hair at this point and it should even have some color to it now!

31 Weeks!

How far along? 31w
Weight gain/loss: Woohoo!!! Still maintaining the 30 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Of course! I'm starting to find that even my maternity jeans aren't so comfy anymore though. How sad is that?!?! The seam where the jean attaches to the stretchy material digs into me underneath my belly when I'm sitting down. Not so fun!
Stretch marks? Negative, Ghost Writer.
Sleep? Last night was rough, as I woke at 2am and my tummy seemed to think it was ready for a 5 course meal. Go figure I have my Glucose Tolerance Test today and can't eat anything but 18 jelly beans until after 9:15am. Other than that, I have been sleeping very well. 
Best moment this week? Realizing I didn't gain any more weigh and getting another piece of Brynnlee's bedding in the mail. We don't have a mattress yet, but I sort of laid things inside the crib just to get the jist...
Food cravings? I caved and got a Slurpee last night! I was so hot after cooking dinner and doing the dishes that it seemed like the perfect way to end the night!
Gender: Still a girl
Belly button in or out? Outie
Movement? This girl is OUT.OF.CONTROL! She is kicking me in some of the most uncomfortable places at times and I really wish I could just reach in there and move her a bit. By the places that I'm feeling her the most, I'm certain she's still not head down, but we'll see. (I was wrong and I couldn't be happier! Dr. B said he definitely felt legs up near my right ribs and head down below. Yay!)
What I'm looking forward to: Eating breakfast after they take my blood this morning!
Milestones: Our little love bug is starting to plump up, gain more weight, and is about the size of a small melon.

30 Weeks!

How far along? 30w on Monday
Weight gain/loss: I stayed put at the 30 lb marker. Lets hope that doesn't mean a couple more lbs come along next week!
Maternity clothes? pretty much everything I wear is maternity or specifically bought in a size that is comfortable with the belly.
Stretch marks? Still holding out hope that I don't get any!
Sleep? I didn't sleep well at all while Bobby was out of town, but since he's been back, it's off to snooze land once my head hits the pillow.
Best moment this week? Building Brynnlee's crib (finally) with Bobby and playing around with the furniture arrangement in her room. 
Food cravings? I still haven't fulfilled my Slurpee craving, but haven't really had anything else pop up lately either. 
Gender: Still a girl
Belly button in or out? It's definitely out unless I'm sitting or laying down.
Movement? She definitely lets her presence be known. She was getting me in a spot the other day that made me jump every time she hit it!
What I'm looking forward to: Still waiting to know she's head down and I'm also looking forward to getting my Glucose Tolerance Test out of the way. I don't have to drink the nasty drink, I get to eat 18 Brach's Jelly Beans (YUM-O!), but I'm still not looking forward to that being the only thing in my belly till 9:30 Monday morning.
Milestones: Brynnlee should almost be at the 3 lb mark and how's 30 weeks for a milestone?!?! Next week we'll be in single digit weeks!
