31 Week Update

I just want to complain!! Whine and complain, possibly throw myself on the floor and have a real temper tantrum just like the girls do, just for a little while! And it's not even to complain that I'm uncomfortable and that I want this baby here NOW, because that's not the case at all. Although I will admit to being excited to meet my little man, time seems to be flying by on its own and I'm a little apprehensive about how we're going to fit him in (ok so I'm scared!) so he can bake a little longer!

I want to complain about this stupid acne! It's driving me insane! I wash my face religiously and I try not to touch it or rub it to clog my poors, but nothing is helping. I do think that if I weren't using my proactiv my face would be much much worse than what it is, but even using it it's still pretty bad!! And that isn't including my poor chest, shoulders, and arms. I've even been finding acne on my forearms, wtf is that all about?? I'm like a giant walking pimple! They're sore, they're unsightly, and I just can't wait until they are gone. Acne was the reason I had the mirena removed, I just can not handle what it does to my self esteem/image, and I'm already dealing with being overweight. At least I know there's an end in sight, I just have to keep thinking about that.

I'm also glad that acne is the worst of my problems! I keep thinking about my pregnancy with the girls around this time and I was pretty much down for the count until they were born. I hit a wall around 28 weeks and it only got worse from there. This pregnancy is much easier and much less painful! I can walk without severe pelvic pain, in fact the only time I have any pelvic pain is at night when I'm trying to sleep, rolling over seems to make it hurt pretty bad. Sleeping is probably the worst of the pain I do have during this pregnancy, my hips and back get pretty sore and stiff but I'm living with it. Although I'm not sure the pain is worse than waking up every two hours like clockwork to pee! My energy is depleted from this tortuous cycle.

Next Monday I start my twice weekly appointments, Mondays are NST day and Thursdays are BPP day. I'm excited to see him on ultrasound!! I'm not excited to be doing all that driving every week until he's born, but I'm sure it'll go by just as fast!

Symptoms - Acne, back/sciatic pain, tired, but otherwise doing much better than I thought giving the heat of the summer.
Food cravings - Nada still! I have lost hope on this one!
Size of baby - Over 3lbs and 17ish inches, gaining 1/2lb a week after this point. His movements feel like Allison and Vanessa at the end of my pregnancy and they were 4 and 5lbs, so perhaps he's about 3.5lbs or more?
