Week 31

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. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

I had my biweekly appointment on Monday and everything is great with me and the baby! I am now going to the doctor's every other week and then starting in June I will need to see her every week. Baby Girl’s heartbeat was very strong and the doctor was happy to hear she is moving around a lot. I gained another 2 lbs, for a total of 18 lbs. I've been trying to be good, but since it’s been hot I've been eating a lot of ice cream! We're still working on the nursery, so I hope to have pictures of it posted in the next couple of weeks. Brian is also holding up well, but tired from all the manual labor he's had to do to prepare for the baby's arrival. He's just hoping to have everything done before she gets here!
