Lima Bean: Week Thirty One




How far along: Thirty one weeks as of Wednesday, May 14, 2014.  Inching closer and closer to the end.
Size of baby: Lima Bean is over 16 inches from head to heel and weighs about 3.3 pounds, the weight of a coconut.
Maternity Clothes: Of course.  I am basically living in leggings and long tops and dresses these days.  I am over my one pair of maternity jeans that actually fits!  Now that it's the middle of May, hopefully I won't have to wear them any more.
Movement: Lima Bean is a mover and a shaker!
Sex of baby: It's a girl!
Sleep: Fine.
What I miss: Soft cheeses, deli meats.
Cravings: Sweets, chicken salad sandwiches.  I can't wait until I can eat turkey sandwiches and prepared salads again.
Symptoms: The side pain is gone, thankfully.  I think it was just a combination of over-use and stress.  Not too many symptoms this week, really.  The Braxton Hicks contractions have lessened, too.
What I'm looking forward to: The color for Lima Bean's room has been chosen.  It's a pretty medium-hue aqua.  Now to get the room painted!  We are having painters come next week to paint baby girl's room and Henry's new big boy room, as well as the awful pepto-bismol pink hall bath.  Henry's room will be the same Williamsburg blue it was in our Arlington house.  His bed and bedding have been purchased from PB Kids.  The bedding is a vintage train motif in navy, red, and gray.  I think it will look great!
