Week 31 Update

First off let me wish all you dads out there a belated but Happy Father's Day! Hope you all had a relaxing one!

I saw the doctor yesterday and everything is just fine. Aubrey's heart rate was 147 and she was very active. She is measuring right at 31 weeks. My blood pressure is great and I feel good. I head back for another check up in 2 weeks. I am starting to tire out again pretty easily like in the begining, but it's okay! She has been quite the active girl the last few mornings....she has gotten me up between 4 and 4:30 am kicking and squirming....just a sign of things to come!

We have been working hard on the nursery and things are very close to the finish line.....

In the bookcase on the bottom is a Snoopy pillow that was Jamie's as a child and my "woobie" (security blanket) that went EVERYWHERE with me when I was a child and of course I had to put a piece of legacy from my sorority in case she goes through rush some day....Lord help us all!

Here's what's going on this week: She measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She'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.

There she is! My belly is really getting on out there!

Have a great week!
