It's been a busy week so far... preparing for Country Fest and finishing up my online religions class (Done on the 30th) I also helped Gary with his final exams by typing them up for him. Also been trying to clean house and get to water aerobics to help me keep in shape. I went twice yesterday but too tuckered out today to go. Want to get my paper finished and chapter on Islam read so I can take the quiz tomorrow morning and not have to worry about it. My twin sister comes in tomorrow night!! Pretty excited to see her and spend the next week with her!! My sisters and I always have a great time at Fest... it will be an interesting year with me being preggo but still lots of fun!
Finally... here is the 31 week update! Can you believe I'm already 31 weeks. It's crazy silly... next thing we know there'll be a crying baby in the other room... eeek.... :)
My Baby:
He's entering a growth spurt. For the next eight weeks, he'll gain weight faster than he increases in length, at the rate of about half a pound a week. The bigger he gets, the harder it will be to "see" him on ultrasound and get a good estimate of his size--the margin of error increases to 15 percent by the end of the third trimester. But he's definitely growing fast, and you'll notice that his kicks will start to feel more like squirming as he runs out of room to roam.
Baby's Length: 17-18 in.
Baby's Weight: 3.5 lbs.
Baby's Size: Soccer ball
How your baby's growing:
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.
Ok... I'm off to hopefully finish my paper! Have a great week...
oh... almost forgot... at last weeks appointment... weight and blood pressure were good... fundal height measured 32 cm and baby heart was 140 bpm!! :)
Here's the heartbeat video from week 30! :)
