31 weeks

I got a call earlier in the week that I passed my 3 hour glucose test! Whew! I barely failed the 1 hour test (like what happened with Karsen) but then of course she said I passed without any issue the second time around. Oh well, better safe than sorry I guess.

This past week was Spring Break and it was a FANTASTIC week off of school. My stomach was totally relaxed all week and I didn't think about school one time. I really enjoyed the week off.

The week started off with me sending Karsen over to my mom's house so I could get some things done around the house. I had an eye appointment to get contact lenses Monday morning and then my brother came over Monday afternoon to help me build an activity tower for Karsen. Here is a "during" pic and then the finished product!




It took him some time to figure out how to get in and out but now he is a pro!

Later in the week, we attended the St. Patrick's day parade. This is one of my favorite days of the year and it was such beautiful weather that day!! Below are some pics. 


Doing an Irish jig!



He had a hard time looking at the camera. There was too much other stuff to focus on!


Pic with Grandma.


Watching the parade go by with Grandpa.


Grandpa, mom and Karsen!

I hit the 31 week mark on Saturday. We have had most items prepared and ready to go for quite a few weeks now, but I am adding some smaller things here and there to liven up the room. We have his "coming home from the hospital" outfit ready to go and his crib is made. We even cut Karsen from the paci over Spring Break so I have all the paci's out and ready to sterilize for #2. It is our hope that he will have forgotten about them over the next couple of months so we wont have to fight him on the issue. I did catch him sucking his thumb a few times but I made sure to pull his thumb out and address it, so hopefully we wont see any of that! Here are a few pics of K being cute! :)



K attended his first Easter Egg hunt this past weekend and while he wasnt quite sure what to do initially, he got the hang of it really quick!






Here is the 31 week bump pic.




How far along? 31 weeks. Size of a coconut.
Total weight gain: At my last appointment on Tuesday, I was up 18 pounds. YIKES! 
Maternity clothes: Anything with loose elastic. It's getting harder to maneuver in general (with a bigger belly to come) so I just want to make sure I can move as freely as possible.
Sleep: Sleep has been ok. I have been getting up 2-3 times per night and then having a hard time falling back asleep. I have also spent more time rotating back and forth as my hips have hurt more this pregnancy.  
Best moment this week: Spring break!!
Miss anything? Still wine. Always wine.
Movement: Still a lot of kicks lower in my belly. I feel like this kid is laying transverse more than up and down but who knows.
Food cravings: Still raspberry flavored iced tea. Yum!
Symptoms: Tight belly...and tired early in the evening.
Belly button in or out? In. 
Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Let's be honest, I am fairly moody. I think I am just ready to meet this kid and enjoy summer with him and Karsen. 
Looking forward to: Easter break this weekend. We have a few short days at school and then another nice long weekend. Yesssss!
