Becoming Mombie — Week 31
Sunday, November 05, 2017
Becoming Mombie is my weekly documentation of the third trimester of my pregnancy
with my DS (dear son) + a few life updates.
Babyyyyy is now the size of a Romaine Lettuce and I can't wait to dress him! 😂
Week 31 finished up with a lunch celebration because our bedrest week (following my threatened pre-term labor) is finally over.
🌜 Quick Update of the Week
So, bedrest week is not far from my typical week.
Work starts at 10 in the morning. Bit late, huh? Then, it's lunch and work again. This week, though, I tried lying for like 30 minutes on the bed so babyyyyyy and I can rest a bit. And sometimes, I get carried away and I end up sleeping. Lol.
On Monday, the hubby has to go to work, but he drove back home and ate lunch with me. 😜💕 We feel special. Hehe. Tuesday and Wednesday, he has no work. Yahooooo! So, we were treated like queen and prince. He did everything.
My 2 aunts, whom I call nani and nana also accompanied me on Thursday and Friday. Did the cooking and the washing of the dishes. Hehe. No house work for me this week!
Saturday was back to the doctor day. My OB said we're good. And we can walk again. Yay! Everything's back to normal.
And Sunday was celebration day.

How's baby?
Stronger! 😳
His movements are getting more intense and frequent. He moves all day long on some days. And if before I get surprised by his out-of-the-blue kicks, now, I get surprised because some kicks are just strong that I can see tummy waves.
And he's heavier to carry around too. I feel like my tummy is going to fall off after like 15 minutes of walking around. Good thing that I have a supporter.
I know all these will even get more intense in the coming weeks.

Baby's Milestones at Week 31
According to the Ovia app:
- Rotating into the birthing position (done last week!)
- Weighs 1.6 kg
- Good at breathing and is doing it rhythmically
- Too large and is now crowding the uterus (sometimes I think he hits my bladder)
- Storing calcium and other nutrients that will help him outside the womb
- His brain keeps building more and more nerve connections
- Sucking his thumb
- Growing some soft newborn hair
- Forming hypothalamic brain connections to help regulate hormone production
How's mommy?
Mommy is always hungry. Hahaha.
According to the app, we need to start prepping for the big day:
We haven't bought any things for baby J yet, but I've already started the Hospital Bag Checklist here and will probably ask my OB all about the birth plan on my next visit.
Nothing interesting has happened. Just catching up with HTGAWM, TWD, and Stranger Things 2 this weekend. And I sort of trolled Yellow Cab for phasing out my favorite nachos.

How's daddy?
Still being the best husband and daddy for babyyyyy J and me.
Sometimes, I even question if this is the same man I married 2 years ago. He used to be so carefree and outgoing back then.
Lol.
A friend even told me that she can't believe this is the same person who said he doesn't believe in marriage before.

That's all for Becoming Mombie this week.
A friend will be visiting me at home on Friday night, so yay!
