31 weeks, and it is only 2 more months to the day!
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.
Ironic that carrying the weight of 4 navel oranges actually makes YOUR navel disappear?
Turning his head from side-to-side - uh, YEAH, I know it. It is the WEIRDEST feeling, especially being head down and low. And yes I do hope all that movement is because he's active and healthy and not just because I just ate a 1/2 pint of ice cream. ; )
2 months is a long time in some respects and yet it feels so soon to say just 2 months now. I'm a little scared, so excited, and incredibly grateful.
Thank you, Lord, for another day.
