Weekly update!
How far along?: 31 weeks, 1 day
Weight gain/loss: scared to see the scale on Monday -I've been a pig this week- but currently it's 5.5lbs
Symptoms: where to start :)
Gender: Team Green
Sleep?: I think I jinxed myself last week as I've slept like crap this week
Best moment this week?: Couple sweet moments with Colin
Movement: LOTS! Sometimes feels like this baby is trying to come out through my stomach.
Food cravings/aversions: Popsicles and lots of 'em
What I miss?: sleeping comfortably
What I am looking forward to?: minus the scale portion, my Dr's appt on Monday.
Size of Baby: according to Baby Center: This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. Ultrasound last week was showing baby weighing 3lb 8oz so I assume baby is actually probably closer to 4lbs
What I’m nervous about: Getting everything done on our "To Do" list
I posted a few prayers (use that term very loosely) for the Baby.
Now it's Colin's turn.
Colin:
This is Mommy and Daddy's prayer for you; to live an Extraordinary Life.

Weekly update!
How far along?: 30 weeks, 2 days
Weight gain/loss: gained 1 lb at my most recent Dr's appt. Total gain: 5.5lbs
Symptoms: starting to become more uncomfortable - feeling like I did at the end of my pregnancy with Colin which makes sense since Dr said I was measuring at 35 weeks!
Gender: went another ultrasound without finding out!!
Sleep?: sleeping fairly well. hips still really sore but either I'm getting used to it or its easing up slightly
Best moment this week?: having yet another ultrasound but finally hearing "everything looks perfect!"
Movement: still very active
Food cravings/aversions: I'd say popsicles have become a craving. I think about them constantly!
What I miss?: being able to hold/cuddle Colin more easily
What I am looking forward to?: the warmer weather that is coming
Size of Baby: on Monday, the ultrasound said baby was weighing 3lbs 8oz. According to Baby center, "Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage)"
What I’m nervous about: Getting the results of my semi-elective GD testing. I do not want it to come back positive but would love to have a reason as to why I'm measuring so far ahead of schedule.

12 reasons motherhood is good for your looks
by E. Seidman
1. The blowouts/highlights/lowlights/anything-lights you regularly go for. So what if they're mostly an excuse to get of the house without the kids for a few hours?
2. Running after children brings a flush to your cheeks and burns countless calories. (Devouring what's left on their plates: not so much.)
3. Black yoga pants: highly flattering on every shape.
4. Ponytails are highly flattering, too. But bedhead works fine in a pinch.
5. Remember how you used to get naked and stand there critiquing your body in the mirror? HA! Who has the time to even think about cellulite?
6. The way your husband gazes at you so admiringly and goo-goo eyed. Or is it because he's sleep deprived? Whatever.
7. Lavender burp cloths look really good on you.
8. Everyone will think you seem remarkably bright-eyed. That's because of the fourth basic necessity, after food, shelter and water: concealer. Thank you, cover-up gods.
9. The new pickup lines in your life that will give you a surge of pride. You know, like, "Oooh, what kind of stroller is that?"
10. Not being able to shower daily makes your skin soft and silky and your hair extra moisturized. Also, studies show that the scent of spit-up is considered highly sexy among primates.
11. The day you realize that the curves you developed after childbirth make you ever so much more attractive than skinny runts like Amanda Seyfried and Anne Hathaway. Or is that the sleep deprivation talking? Whatever…
12. "Mommy, you are bee-yoo-tee-ful."
