Gametes In Love

So now that G is 2, you think it’s time I put his 12m clothes away? I’ve come to the sad realization that now that his long sleeved shirts are starting to resemble his short-sleeved shirts in arm coverage, it’s probably time to part with them. Except that they are so stinkin’ cute, and some of my favorites are in this size.

Yes, I know S2 will be sporting the same soon enough, but it’s just sad to put them away.

It’s shocking that at 2 G still fits in his 12m clothes, huh? I guess it’s one of few benefits of having a kid on the low end of the charts. You stretch out clothing wear for a looooong time.

But between the outgrown shirts, and the impending move to the bedroom next door, I started prepping his 2T sized clothing. I washed three loads of 2T sized clothes today. Out of the first load came a dozen short sleeved shirts, and about as many long sleeved shirts. Two more loads of folding to go. I think it’s safe to say I won’t need to do any shopping for G for the next year. And, as an added bonus, with this quantity of clothes, I think I’ll only need to do his laundry once a month 🙂

How far along: 31w. I have about a month and a half left at work, and that gets me pretty darn excited… and then I think about having an infant, and I freak out.
Weight: 146.6lb
Sleep: Still good. I need to train myself when I gotta go pee, to just do it and not hold it until I can’t stand it anymore. As it turns out, breaking point is between 5:20 and 5:40 am, and I have a hard time going back to sleep after that.
Gender: Still frank and beans.
Movement: Lots. S2 is strong and persistent too. S is amazed at just watching him do flips. Last night I’m pretty sure he was imagining himself at a space station and was just doing flips, to a point where I coulda sworn he was sideways. He’s been head down for awhile, so that would be quite surprising, but still.
Feeling: Overall, good. I’m getting tired again, but my appetite is very subdued. Joints still hurt, but I’m coping.
What I miss: Full night’s sleep without having to get up. I guess I’ll be missing that one for a looong time though, huh?
Food cravings: Sweet stuff
Fetal development:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He’s probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby’s kicks and somersaults keep you up.
