31 Weeks!

You will be pleased to hear that after last weeks VERY long post, there isn't much to share this week. Rob's settled into school and I'm settled into not doing all that much! I did put drawer liner in all the dresser drawers in the baby room, but that really isn't all that exciting.

This coming weekend is my first baby shower! It's being hosted by my aunt and grandmother, Thalia and Stella, in New Jersey. I've heard rumors that my cousin Christopher has taken some hosting duties upon himself and has arranged a keg of beer. Yes, a keg of beer. At a baby shower. Doesn't get classier than that, does it? Half of me is laughing and the other half is shaking my head. On the up side, most of my cousins are guys, and all of a sudden they are pumped to be attending my baby shower. This is good since I am dragging Rob to the shower!

All joking aside, I am pretty excited. I haven't seen my family up there since May (and I didn't get to see everyone I would have liked too), and Rob hasn't seen them since last August/December! Sadly, our trip isn't very long, we are flying up Friday evening and flying home Sunday afternoon. Rob and my mom can't miss school Friday or Monday, and my mom is leaving for a 10 day cruise the following Thursday, so it had to be a quick trip. Oh, and doc doesn't want me traveling after this weekend anyway; I guess we are all party poopers.

How far along? 31
Total weight gain/loss:  135... do not be alarmed. I haven't eaten in a couple hours, and I just bought a new scale. Probably just weighed myself at a weird time.
Maternity clothes? Wearing normal clothes today. 
Measurements: Waist: 38 inches, Hips: 39.5 inches. 
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Eh, not great.

What is Baby doing? Baby Boy is probably weighing around 3 lbs now! His eyes can now react to light which means his 5 senses are all systems go!

Best moment this week: Watching Rob try to figure out how the car seat works. It made me feel better about not being able to figure out the stroller.
Movement: Oh yeah, he's still moving all the time. Baby Boy likes to tease Rob though. I'll say he's moving, Rob rushes over, and nothing. As soon as Rob stops touching my belly, Baby Boy is moving again.
Miss Anything? I've really been wanting a rum punch from Elvis' Love Shack. This is doubly sad cause not only can I not have rum, but I'm not even in St. Kitts anymore! No rum punch even after the baby arrives. :(
Food cravings: Nope.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. 
Have you started to show yet: Big ol' baby bump.
Gender: Boy.

Labor Signs: Just some minor contractions every now and then. I think they are called Braxton-Hicks contractions, but they are no big deal.
Belly Button in or out? Rob and my mom have declared my belly button officially flat.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy. 
Looking forward to: Seeing friends and family this weekend at my baby shower (cough cough, registered at amazon.com and buybuybaby, cough cough) - I know, I'm awful! ;)
