| Baby is the size of romaine lettuce |
Hello everyone! Wow, I’m late for updating. I have no excuse. I simply haven’t been writing and updating like I should. This was an eventful week as I celebrated my 39th birthday! I also spent some time with the family.
Week 31: 18-25 July 2019
How far along: 38 weeks
How big is baby: the size of a head of Romaine lettuce, approximately 7 pounds.
Mommy’s Weight: 174 pounds.
Gender: Unknown (Team Green)
Events of this week: Happy Birthday to Me!
Prepping for: Baby’s arrival, Bug’s basketball game, back to school, and freezer meals.
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, heartburn, vomiting, snoring
Baby/Maternity purchases: About to purchase: Baby book, maternity bra, nipple cream, and toiletries
Stretch marks: Yes
Belly Button: Flat
Food cravings: Slurpees
Food aversions: Not really
Sleep: Not as much as I would like, but enough that I feel like baby is resting.
Movement: Most of the day and consistently from 10-11 at night.
Best Moment(s) of the Week: The birthday weekend pampering was beautiful.
Not so great moment: My morning sickness is back though it isn’t morning sickness. It’s full on vomiting and usually occurs after I eat. Baby is pressing on the tummy, I suppose.

Happy or Moody: Moody. This was the HOTTEST week on record with temps in the 90s and heat indices in the 100s. I didn’t want to move or be touched. I was miserable.
