31 Weeks

I think it is round objects from here on out! This week 3BB is the size of a coconut! 

Although I think one week coming up soon is a bunch of kale. And then back to round fruits/veggies. None of it makes any sense. The Bump app had a coconut like 10 weeks ago or something, so *shrug*. Basically 3BB is about 16 inches long and weighs about 3.5 pounds. 

I have another ultrasound on Monday, so I’ll find out more when I go about her estimated weight (although even the ultrasounds are never right). But at least see how she’s fattening up.

I had a call with my diabeetus nurse this week and everything looks good. She asked me what time I usually eat dinner and I told her 9 PM. It’s because when I work GrubHub, I don’t get home until after 8:30, so instead of switching it up, I just eat around 9 PM every night. And she was SHOCKED! She was like “don’t tell anyone else that you eat this late and still have good numbers. You’re an anomaly.” Apparently most people, if they eat a full meal that late, they can’t regulate their sugars and then it screws up their fasting numbers the next day. But I haven’t had any issues, but then again I don’t go to bed until after midnight, so it isn’t like I eat and go right to bed. But hey! At least one thing with the diabeetus has gone my way!

This past Sunday I had my virtual baby shower! It was just perfect! My friend Jackie did an amazing job planning the whole thing and as much as it sucked to not be in-person, it was actually really nice to have my friends and family from all over the country able to join!

I’m overwhelmed on a mostly daily basis with the amount of love everyone has for me and 3BB. She has NO idea how loved she is already, by so many wonderful people. Thank you all so much, for your love and the gifts and the support! And thank you for coming to the shower, it meant the world to me!

(Side note: That background is still up in my house. I love it!)

Also please note that if you get a thank you card, I tried my best to write legibly, but the carpal tunnel in my right hand really makes writing difficult. I swear, a 4 year old didn’t write those out!

Every year I try and get one new ornament for my Christmas tree. So this year, I of course wanted to highlight my present that is on the way. I was so happy! It turned out perfectly! 3BB will be memorialized forever!

I also finally got around to putting together some of the nursery furniture. It took several days because while I’m not HUGELY pregnant, there is still a three pound coconut living in my belly who makes things a lot harder. But the bookshelf and the dresser are done, so I can start filling them, and washing clothes and getting ready for her to make her appearance!

I showed off my belly to everyone at the shower. I still think it looks like I just ate a really big lunch, but I definitely feel hugely pregnant any time I try to bend over.

As much as I want to be obviously pregnant, I’m also going to be thankful postpartum that I can still fit into all my yoga pants.

Next week I start going to the doctor every week for non-stress tests. It’s basically hooking you up to monitors to make sure the baby is moving enough, but not in any kind of distress. I’m happy to have weekly monitoring because while she is super active and is always reassuring me, I also want to make sure she cooks as long as possible!

I know I’m a broken record, but IT IS GETTING REALLY CLOSE, GUYS!
