Joaquin is 31 weeks today and about the size of a squash. By my estimates from our last ultrasound and average weekly growth, Joaquin should be approximately 4 pounds and 1 ounce. Joaquin is busy accumulating layers of fat under his skin. The arms, legs, and body start to fill out and will look less wrinkly as each week progresses. He may be finding the space tighter and tighter at this point.
How far along? 31 weeks
Weight gain/loss: I'm up a total of 29 pounds.
Sleep? Sleep in Spain had its ups and downs. Ups: naps. Downs: universally hard mattresses and no body pillow. I am LOVING sleeping in my bed the last two nights.
Best moment this week? The entire trip to Spain was amazing, but Mia and Nelson's wedding was magical. I just love going to weddings. There is nothing quite as romantic as a wedding ceremony. They always remind me of how much my own marriage means to me.
Movement: Joaquin is moving A LOT the last couple of days. It's almost hard to concentrate on anything else. Jay and I discovered that he really likes to dance to classical Spanish music.
Food cravings: Salad, of the american variety. Spain had a lot going for it, but it really lacked in the salad department. I ate a huge salad for dinner last night and was a very happy camper.
Belly button in or out? Out and to the right. Now with a slightly blue center. No idea what that's about.
What I miss? Jay's family in Spain and the beautiful architecture of Madrid.
What I am looking forward to? A low key weekend. I need some time to just relax and be quiet.
Milestones: My first trip to Labor & Delivery today. This will warrant a separate post.
What I'm nervous about: Well, after today, I'm nervous about how I am going to make it to at least 37 weeks staying pregnant and how I am going to handle work until then. I'm going to talk to my OB sometime within the next 2 weeks and I suspect she's going to order me to work from home. She was already hinting at it this morning. If that's the case, I am going to have to set up a little home office at our kitchen table. Not exactly my idea of a tidy house, but I guess I can live with it for a while.
