31 Weeks

How far: 31 weeks- 9 weeks to go. Yikes!
Weight gain: 13+ lbs (will weigh in again on Friday)
Baby weight: He weighs about 3.3 pounds (about four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. 16 inches long.
Sleep: Woke up on my belly once this week, terrified. Poked him a little- apparently he still has plenty of cushioning- he is fine! LuLu is my body pillow now to make sure I don't roll on him again
Best moments this week: Our Birth and Labor Class (This warrants a post of its own), Mom getting to feel him kick on Monday night, Monday night dinner date with Mom at the pool
Movement: He kicked Mike in the ear and had a little dance party over the weekend. He is very active these days.
Cravings: Arby's Melt... Yup, I ate it... and it was GOOOOoood! (Sorry cow )
Labor signs:  Learned what these are in our class this weekend. Nothing yet. Also learned that anywhere from 38-42 weeks is your due month and he could be born anywhere in that window.
Breakdowns: I will have one shortly if our house does not sell.
Belly Button: Squishing flatter
What I miss: Mike. I can make it 5 more weeks!!!!
Looking forward to: Our 3D/4D ultrasound and baby shower on SATURDAY!
Milestones: 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. Yeah, chunky monkey :)

As we embark on 32 weeks... please pray that our plans start to fall into place. That our house sells and that Mike gets a job in the Cary/Raleigh area. We continue to do as much as we can and are hopeful... just ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare for the arrival of Guenther Gray.
