31 weeks

I am absolutely getting to the point where taking my weekly photos is becoming EXHAUSTING. Getting dressed and setting up the camera just feels like way too much work. But once I start taking the pictures, it’s becoming a piece of cake.

Not much has happened this week. Still feeling pretty good overall. I bought a maternity support belt that has helped my low back and hip pain SO much at work. However, I still get extremely exhausted from working and it’s coming to the point that I take any opportunity I can to either not work, or get sent home at 7. Only a few more weeks left!

How far along: 31 weeks

Next appointment: next Tuesday.. I’ve started having appointments every 2 weeks.. and when I hit 36 weeks, they’ll switch to weekly..

Any new aches/pains: same old sore back when I get up and the occasional issues with reflux

Maternity clothes: all the time..

Sleep: it’s getting to the point that I just pass out in whatever position feels best.. and after Gage leaves in the morning, I tend to sprawl out and end up diagonal across the bed..

Best moment this week: Makayla turned one!! she’s such a big girl!!

Movement: all the time! as we speak, I have a foot in my ribcage which is NOT comfortable at all

Food cravings: still loving sweets and cereal

Belly button: it’s getting smaller and smaller but I’m not entirely convinced it’s going to become an outie before the end

What I miss: fitting in my own scrubs!

What I’m looking forward to this week: not a thing. I work the next 4 days in a row and that just is NOT fun and exciting

Weekly wisdom: working more than 3 days in a row (especially as a nurse) is just plain exhausting!!

9 more weeks to go!
