31 Weeks

How your baby's growing:

This week, our 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 definitely moving a lot, too, so I have been having some trouble relaxing because his kicks and somersaults are getting stronger and keep me up. Good news though is all this moving is a sign that Levi is active and healthy! He's also going through major brain and nerve development these days. His irises now react to light, and all five senses are in working order. (He won't pick up anything from his nose until after birth, though -- smell is transferred through air, not amniotic fluid.)

I do have new belly pictures to post up, but my camera decided to take a dump on me last night, so I haven't been able to get them off my card just yet. Hopefully sometime this week I'll get those posted up for you all to see!
