Bump Day: Week 31


How far along? 31 long weeks :)
 
Sleep? Getting worse.  Waking every hour to either roll over or go to the bathroom.

Maternity Clothes? Just PJ pants and t-shirts here at the hospital.

Stretch Marks? Yes, but only on my left side.  May have to blame this one on baby B.

Best Moment this week?  Mother's Day... I guess I didn't think I qualified yet, but I still received some gifts and many text messages.  Thanks to everyone for making my day so special.

Miss Anything? Lying on my back and stomach.

Movement? Yep, there are dance parties going on most of the time.
 
Size of the Babies? Three small melons! And they are all over 3 lbs!
Baby A: 3 lbs 3 oz
Baby B: 3 lbs 7 oz
Baby C: 3 lbs 2 oz 

Food Cravings? Dark Chocolate M&Ms.

Morning Sickness? Nope.

Gender? Three girls.

Bed Rest? Hospital bed rest for 8 weeks, total bed rest 10 weeks.

Limitations?  Still all the same... just getting more difficult to move.

Labor Signs? Still pretty stable.

Weight Gain? 42 lbs.

Pregnancy Symptoms?  I have been getting the aura part of migraines affecting only my vision.  No headache, thankfully.  But I have to keep my room dark because my eyes are very sensitive to light.  Also, when I'm seeing spots, I can't look at any screens or read... so that leaves just lying here or sleeping.

Belly Button In or Out? Its a stretched out outtie.

Wedding Rings On or Off? Off but should still fit.  Still no swelling.

Mood?  Overwhelmed.  I've been on bed rest for 10 weeks now and I still haven't completed all of those things I put on my bed rest to do list.  You would have thought I would have had plenty of time, but no.

Looking Forward To?  Meeting my girls soon :)
 
What Brian is Saying:  "I have so much to do."  Poor guy is working his butt off getting prepared for our baby girls to arrive.  I'm so proud of him for taking on all of this responsibility.

You are so amazing. 31 weeks and counting... every day is a gift directly to those girls. Being a Mother is not for the faint hearted Julie. Happy Mothers Day- you are already every bit a Mom. Sacrific for your children qualifies you completly. :) Take care!

You most certainly get to celebrate mother's day. What a great mother you are already. Keep up the great work, hope the spots go away.

I am so excited when a new entry pops up for you in my feed. So glad you are to 31 weeks already - how exciting! You are doing a great job at keeping them where they should be until God is ready for them to come and meet you. Keep going momma! :)
