Week 31

Thirty-one weeks pregnant as of today! Not much to report except that Isaac is still kicking and poking me a lot. Josh could see my belly "jump" from across the room and our little guy frequently makes the remote control on my belly bounce these days. So freaky! Tons and tons of pictures for me to post from our nursery progress in a later post.

What’s Happening with Your Body?
Things are beginning to get tight in there, and heartburn and indigestion are common. Eat small meals more often and drink lots of water. You may have developed the pregnant "waddle"—that happens because pregnancy softens the ligaments in your pelvis, allowing your hips to spread to make room for the baby. Don’t worry, you won’t walk like a duck forever! (Thank goodness!)

How big is your baby?
Your baby is continuing to grow and has reached 15 inches in length and weighs anywhere from 3 ½ to 4 pounds.

What is happening with your baby?
Your baby is continuing to develop a layer of fat under his/her skin. This is in preparation for his/her arrival into the world and gives the baby more of a newborn appearance. During the next several weeks your baby will really begin to put on the weight. (Oh, boy!)
