31 Weeks Pregnant Update

Well it’s been quite awhile since I’ve shared a bumpdate because we have been just so busy over here! Being in the education world, Joe and I have both been feeling a bit overwhelmed with our jobs and keeping up with the changes due to the pandemic. I can’t believe I am 31 weeks pregnant already!

Feeling

A few weeks ago I was so tired and weak…which made sense when I got the call telling me I am extremely anemic. And of course iron tablets make me even sicker! Luckily, I was able to get iron infusions which have helped my energy levels somewhat.

I’ve also been feeling just so emotional. My ADK sisters recently threw me a virtual shower and it meant so much and made things feel so real! They even sent me the prettiest cookies to eat during the shower. I’m just getting SO excited to see her, hold her, and see what life is like with her.

But, like my sign says, I’m definitely feeling a lot of tough physical things right now….walking is definitely more of a waddle and I know now what lightning crotch is- HA! But I’m enjoying more and more all the baby kicks and rolls. They are so intense they wake me up at night sometimes!

Wearing

I’m pretty much down to wearing just leggings and pregnancy tees and tanks, or comfortable dresses. Coming up with outfit ideas for the next 9 weeks seems so daunting! When I’m around the house, I’m already at the stage where I just want to wear my husband’s basketball shorts and t-shirts!

Preparing

The crib has been purchased and set up! I’m starting to get more organized in her nursery and she finally has some clothes to wear when she gets here. I still have a bunch of stuff I want to do, but knowing I at least have some basics ready feels good! I’m about ready to start thinking about the hospital bag because after last time, I want to be totally prepared this time around.

Less than 10 weeks to go and we are just so excited. <3
