31 weeks

Sorry I have been slacking in my blogging lately. We went to Winterfest in Gatlinburg this past weekend and it wore me out! I have been falling asleep extra early every night just trying to catch up. Hopefully I will have more to report in the following weeks! Here is the 31 week 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.
