31 Weeks

The baby's arms, legs and body continue to fill out and they are finally proportional in size to the baby's head. At this point, the baby's weight is about 3.3 pounds, and it's finally beginning to look more liek a newborn, measuring about 16 inches from head to toe.

At this point, I may notice that the baby isn't moving around as much as before, but this isn't cause to worry - the baby is just running out of room in my uterus. As long as I can feel the squirming now and again, the baby is doing just fine. There's still plenty of growing to do, we can expect to have the baby gain at least 2 more pounds before delivery!

The baby's organs are continuing to mature, passing water through the bladder - good practice for after it's born! Brain scans have even shown that fetuses have periods of dream sleep around month 8.


Rob and I got the crib put together, so the nursery looks beautiful! Now it's just the little finishing touches, like some shelves for books, and pictures - all in good time :) We've even settled on names - we're NOT sharing them, we want them to be a surprise. So, in case anyone is wondering, for now - until birth... it's "little foot", aptly named because I'm always pushing little feet out from my ribs!
