Maddox {31 Weeks}

How far along? 31 Weeks (no picture this week, I've been feeling not so well)

Total weight gain: Around 10 lbs...I'll get weighed next week at the doctor :) 
Maternity clothes? Yes for the most part.  I did find a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans and thought--I should try these on. They actually fit. Like comfortably.  So it's nice to have another pair of pants! 
Stretch marks? None yet.
Best moment this week: Getting 3 packages in the mail for Maddox! I love snail mail and all of these packages flowing in make it so fun! Piece by piece things are coming together. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope
Miss Anything? Just being able to sit comfortably for a couple hours.  Back pain hasn't been as bad this week, thankfully. I've continued to sleep really well which I'm super thankful for. I do miss the ease of tying  my shoes...if you saw me do it now, I'd be embarrassed ;) haha.
Movement: He continues to amaze me with his movements.  Lots of people have gotten to feel him recently which is so fun! My entire belly was jiggling like jelly the other night as he was having what I assume to be a dance party in there.  Nate was watching from a distance and just laughing :) Somehow I think Maddox is going to resemble Jacoby in the energy department. and I don't like coffee...so I'm assuming God is going to give me super energy that can only come from him? #icanonlyhope #andpray #andpraysomemore
Food cravings: It hasn't been too bad this week...I feel like I eat pretty normal.  Although I get full rather quickly so I hardly ever eat a big meal. 
Gender: BOY. 
Labor Signs: Nope :)
Symptoms: I've been battling this terrible cough for 2.5 weeks and I am just over it.  It's so painful + deep + there's just not much I can take.  I actually feel like it's getting better but because I have been coughing so hard, I have about 5 huge knots all over my ribs and back and so now it's painful to cough/breathe thanks to those.  I told Nate I'm a hot mess right now. I'm so ready for this cough to be gone and to feel back to my "normal" pregnant self.  I feel like I complain a lot about it, but it's honestly because I feel horrible.  I'm heating my back as I type and hoping that it'll get better asap. I'm not one to complain during pregnancy because A.) I generally feel great. B.) SO many people want to be pregnant that can't or have been trying forever, and I count it a huge blessing to be able to have smooth pregnancies.  I never want to take that for granted.  So this has been a bit of a "negative" week, but I just wanted to document my misery for a moment ;) hahah. I am so so so thankful that this baby is active, healthy, and growing right on track and if this is the worst it's gonna get...you know, besides labor...then I can handle it.  All for you my sweet Maddox! 
Belly Button In or Out? Out ;)
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I think my jibber jabber above explains that I'm happy, but in pain...so it probably hasn't been my favorite week (or Nate's...bless his heart)
Looking forward to: Seeing Nate more! He's been a rockstar and super busy at work, so thankfully that is over with and life can go back to normal...for a few more weeks until Maddox arrives! 

xox,
