Today makes 31 Weeks!
I'm officially in the single-digit-weekly-countdown (say that ten times!) stage. And it feels good.

Well, the above photo didn't really show the bump (although I do love knowing that this was captured while I was watching my boys play, er, and too lazy to get up to play with them), and quite honestly every photo in the shoot didn't really either, except this one:

So there you have it, Scarlett in all her glory, sticking far out for the world to see.

And for the books...

Pregnancy Cravings:

-Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin cereal with whole raw milk, sometimes with added granola. This has been overriding my typical ice cream cravings (which I had with the boys)...I think my thighs will be thanking me for that.

-Won Ton soup. I don't get it often, but it's one of those things that always sounds good.

-The coffee cravings have gone, but hot cider is certainly taking their place.

Similarities:

Weight gain is still the same as the boys...little miss had a growth spurt... 15 lbs to date!

Differences:

I'm pretty sure I've been redundant in mentioning how far my hips have spread? How insanely annoying! My belly is also a bit more wide rather than basketball-ish as it was with the boys. Oh, and I have back fat. Plenty of it. It's disgusting.

Energy is good, I'm feeling good! I'm still much less tolerant than my non-pregnant self, but having energy and less headaches has been a nice break. The nesting of course is in full-force. Her room is nearly done and we've received hand-me-downs from different sources, that I must say has been an huge blessing--it was very overwhelming to me to have to outfit an entirely new gender!
