31 Weeks

Your baby continues to grow and develop inside you. Measuring 16 inches long, she weighs 4 lbs. 4 whole pounds, wow! And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound every week. As you've probably noticed, she is moving around quite a bit in there! Its not uncommon for her continuous movements, which may feel like somersaults, to be keeping you up at night. Her arms, legs and body are also filling out as she continues to develop fat underneath her skin, making those kicks and prods feel even stronger than last week. You may even see an arm or a foot move slowly across your belly!


Things are going well. It is getting harder to get comfortable to sleep at night but nothing to terribly bad. We are finishing up the final touches on her room and are waiting to have one last baby shower before she gets here. Things are going by way too fast!
