31 Weeks!

Today I am 31 weeks pregnant! The countdown has begun - 9 weeks to go!

Pregnancy Highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs about 3.3 pounds, (picture carrying four navel oranges) and measures 16 inches long from the top of his head to his heels!  

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Again I think I'm going to ask at my appt. on Monday

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: All I know is the doctor said baby's heartbeat sounds great!

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

Name: We have finally decided on a name - COOPER THOMAS HILLEBRAND! It really wasn't a hard decision, this is one name that we both fell in love with and it has stuck with us for the last 30 weeks, I just hope when he comes that we'll still like it. LOL

Movement: Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the most amazing thing. He's a squirmier and I think he's crawling right up into my rib cage.

Sleep:Sleep is great but I'm now going to the bathroom about every 3 hours a night and it seems harder and harder to fall back asleep, just way too much on my mind.

What I miss: Chocolate shakes and anything that I "can't" have like starches. This gestational diabetes sucks! I feel like I'm always hungry and NEVER satisfied.

Cravings:I'm craving anything that I can't have, that's an easy one! LOL

Symptoms: I think I might be having some of those Braxton Hicks Contractions, but I'm not 100% sure because I've never been through this, but from what I'm reading this is what I might be feeling, just some lower pelvic pressure.

Best Moment This Week: Besides the weather outside, it's been in the 50's, feeling little Coop moving more and more. I'm hoping for some good news this week so we can get the basement started otherwise Cooper will be rooming with us. Oh and one other thing Tom got a text message from Brandon the other day, he was out at the mall looking at shoes, just what he needs, but he sent this picture to Tom and said "Coops going to be swag in these" or something like that, not sure what "swag" means but I'm thinking like "cool" LOL

I don't know if it was this exact shoe but it was an Air Jordan shoe. I thought it was funny and awesome that he was thinking of his little brother while at the mall. He's definitely going to be spoiled!
