Things have continued to move along pretty quickly. I had a Drs appt on the 23rd, so on my 31 week change over :) Drs appt went well...I gained some weight (like 3 pounds in 3 weeks!) so I was pretty surprised about that...need to keep an eye on it for the future, ha, which will be hard with all of the xmas candy/cookies! My blood pressure was also a little high at the appt, but I had a new nurse and she did it really quickly so it makes me question whether her reading was accurate or not. In any case my Dr didn't seem concerned so I guess I shouldn't either. I'm measuring about a week ahead so nothing really there that would prompt an earlier delivery than Feb. 24th I guess! I did agree to do physical therapy once the holidays are over to hopefully alleviate some of the pelvic pain I'm having.
31 week update - Weight of 4 Naval Oranges!
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.
