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.How far along? 31 weeks exactly
Maternity clothes? Oh yes!
Stretch marks? Nope, please stay this way!
Sleep: Still waking up early everyday, but sleep is good! I find myself ready for bed earlier and earlier every night :)
Best moment this week: Doug & Courtney's wedding, we had such a wonderful time...wish we could have stayed longer! We also had a great time in Chicago for Dannie & Shane's reception and hanging out with Morgan and Katy!
Movement: All the time and all over!
Food cravings: Last week was Starbucks iced caramel macchiatos
Gender: It's a girl!
Labor Signs: Just random Braxton Hicks contractions
Belly Button in or out? I think it's going to pop any day now!
What I miss: My ankles, they have disappeared
What I am looking forward to: Hopefully relaxing a bit this week and I'm also very excited for Heather's wedding this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: Keep those feet propped up to help with the swelling...I think I can see my ankles a little bit again today :)
What a weekend! Friday was Doug & Courtney's rehearsal dinner (which was so yummy!), then on Saturday I followed Courtney around with my camera all morning as she got ready for her wedding (she looked amazing!) and then we had to leave their reception early in order to make our drive out to Chicago for Dannie's reception on Sunday morning. We were so sad to leave early, we were having an awesome time!
The drive to Chicago wasn't too bad, we hit a bit of traffic here and there but nothing horrible. Dannie's reception was so much fun too! They had awesome food and the coolest sweets table ever, it was my fantasy :) The drive home was not so much fun. We hit traffic and construction EVERYWHERE and it added a good 2 hours onto our drive, so needless to say I'm pretty tired. I'll post pictures from everything very soon!
