Here's the 31 week (and a few days now!) update:
"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."
All I have to say about this weeks update is that they are right- he's moving a LOT. Tons. All the time. Non-stop. When I'm awake, when I'm asleep (which is not often as I wake up every few hours), when I'm standing, sitting, lying down- he's ALWAYS MOVING.... I know this is a good thing but I really hope that it doesn't mean that we'll have a hyper-active baby who never sleeps! Guess we'll find out in about two months!
Also, I'd like to talk about stretch marks... I shouldn't because I'm sure that stating this on my blog will totally jinx me but so far??? NONE! YAY!! Of course, since the baby is supposed to double in size in the next 8 weeks that will most likely change but for now I'm happy about it...
So that's the update... Fascinating stuff, I know!
