Baby Update- week 31 and rockin the mom outfit!

Baby Stats- 

How far along? 31 weeks and 4 days

How big is baby? Per the baby website it says 16 inches long and 3.3 pounds. I believe the 16 inches cause oh my lord are my ribs sore. Beckett's head is as low as low can go so that in itself is uber uncomfortable, you know where. The amount of constant 24 hour pressure I'm experiencing.... ouch is all I can/have to say. As far as weight, he does not feel heavy and we know based on his last measurements a few weeks ago he was a tad behind. We have a ultrasound coming up to recheck his growth. 

Gender? A BOY!! His name is Beckett Easton as a first and middle name. 

Weight gain? As of my doctors appointment on Friday I've lost .3 pounds 

Due Date?  Still up in the air but things are moving and changing so sooner then later most likely. Safe to say anytime between now and September, I know that's crazy to say. Our full term due date was September 10th 

Symptoms? For the past two weekends I have almost been admitted to the hospital. Lucky for me my blood pressure is always juuuuuuust squeaking by the safety zone. There is nothing worse then being stuck in the hospital on a weekend cause your literally stuck there till Monday. Good luck seeing a doctor too. Beckett's head is {right there}. My blood pressure has been insane. I've started having contractions and leaking fluid and just one leg and foot is the size of a state fair prize winning sausage. We are talking massive here people. So far no protein has been showing up in the urine but all the other preclampsia signs are soaring. I'm now seeing my regular OB once a week and doing stress tests once a week.  

Food cravings? Yuck, food. Nothing sounds good again. Lemonade, sweet tea, water and juice all sound perfect though. Hook up an IV of that and I'm good to go. 

Sleep? {knock on wood} I know I've been lucky. I sleep through the whole night. I keep waiting for the restless night sleep to start but once my head hits the pillow I'm out and done. I'm not napping during the day so I'm sure that makes a difference. Still, only get up to pee which is also only once a night {sometimes not at all} and then right back to sleep. 

Movement? Shimmy shimmy. Kick kick. Bounce bounce. It's not constant it's only about 3 times a day and I don't feel him at all at night {does not mean he is not moving I just don't wake up or feel it} so really he is more like a ninja dancer. Never for his dad either ;) 

Beckett on the web: Beckett has his own little friends and family blog so you can check it out and leave him some love if you want to! You can see it at this link Little Mast 

Other Stuff? We have our LA baby shower coming up soon, only a few more weeks to go! I hope we make it cause I've planned this thing up the wazoo! I'm in DIY mode for the shower while still making etsy orders that have already been purchased {I'll be closing my shop to new orders soon for a few months of course} and I can't wait to see it all come together. Every single person who will be there is icing on the cake. I'm. So. Excited. 

Belly pics: 
I know how you all love your belly pics! This weekend we had our friends from LA up for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. She did so great and it was so inspiring to see such a great cause in action. GO BOOBIES!
