Single Digits and an Anniversary

Today is a magnificent day! We are 9 weeks away from our little girl getting here, and it is my 3rd year wedding anniversary with Bryce. It's crazy how time has just flown right on by, but can feel like we have been together forever, but still feel like we just got married last month, all at the same time. Marrying him was the best decision of my life, and I am ever-grateful to my Heavenly Father for putting him in my path. 


How far along:

31 Weeks

Size of baby:
A head of lettuce, a coconut, a pineapple... Alright clearly we are still extremely inconsistent. But she is somewhere around 3 pounds and around 16 inches :) I like the pineapple description best! 

Total Weight Gain:
What a terrific question. I don't have a scale so I have no clue. Oops! 

Stretch Marks:  

I have a few more tiny ones in practically the same places as before, so it still doesn't bother me. 

Movement:   

Just when I thought she wouldn't be moving as much because her space is so limited... She had to go and prove me wrong. She has now figured out how to jam her foot between my skin and the outside of my ribs. She freaks out a little bit and I have to nudge her away. Some of her kicks are starting to get a wee bit painful, she is a powerhouse! I can now see her shape when I lay flat and do a crunch, my skin forms tightly around her and it is so cool to see her outline!! She is still head down and when she gets hiccups she gets frustrated and wiggles everywhere. She has enough power now to wake me up from my sleep. Luckily I fall right back asleep but dang she is a mover! She is most active throughout the day and then when I take a bath at night. I don't know how she still has energy to move during my sleep, I feel like she must be exhausted! 

Belly Button in or out?:
It is still in there and I'm doubting that it will ever pop out. 

Sleep:
Aside from Harper randomly waking me up, I sleep well aside from waking up to a stupid Diesel Bro Truck idling then revving then idling then Revving for 20 minutes every morning just before 7. Leave me alone I only have 2 months left of sleep! 

What I miss:

My legs. I know that's weird. But they have lost all of their muscles and growing up dancing, I've always had such lean legs and now they are gone. It'll be great to get back into the normal workout routine!! 

Food Cravings:
Mac n cheese. So so good. 

Food Aversions:  

Luckily this has passed for me. Some textures of chicken depending on the way they are cooked aren't my favorite but I've always been that way. 

Nausea:
Nowhere to be found. 

Moody/Happy?
Happy, but man it can change like a switch turning off a light. 

Wedding ring on our off?

On. Still not swelling that I've noticed. 

Symptoms: 

I am getting exhausted. And my hips hurt when I sleep. And lower back pain here and there. 

Best Moment this week:
Getting Harper's crib set up :) 

Worst Moment this week:
I can't think of anything too terrible. 

What I’m looking forward to:

Going out to dinner for our anniversary, being in Abby's wedding Friday and seeing her sealed to her sweetheart, seeing my best friend and my baby shower in Utah on Saturday! Please come if you can :) 

Name:

Here is another craft Bryce and I made together. This is the one where I got anxiety because it was so official at this point that we were naming her Harper and that responsibility of naming a person for eternity freaked me out lol. 

We still have to do the flower but if was so fun to make this with Bryce :)
