31 weeks


Another week gone by, another week closer to full-term! Yes, my fears about a pre-term baby have officially set in.  Thanks to my little early-arrival-first-son, my two pregnancies since have been a little less care-free toward the end.  While I hear most women walking around wishing their pregnancy would "just be over" or whatever, I pray every night (and most of the day) that my sweet little babies will hang out as long as they can until they are at least 37 weeks.  Sam was compliant, hopefully this baby will be too!
Not much special to report this week, just the typical week around here and trying to get things ready for the baby.
Measurements for this week are around 16 inches long and about 3.5 lbs.  He is *very* active in there these days and I'm curious to see how big this little one is relative to his siblings when he's born.  He seems to take up more room than I remember his brother and sister taking up.  He also seems to have a hand somewhere down near his face, which makes for some weird movements on occasion.

maternity quiz
maternity clothes: indeed.  looking to purchase some new maxi skirts to wear during and after the pregnancy.  gotta love versatile clothing.
sleep: no notable changes
best moment this week: just enjoying the movements of this sweet little boy
cravings: nothing specific right now
what i miss: mobility. this bump, while awesome, makes it difficult to get on the floor and play with the kiddos and such.
what i'm looking forward to: scheduling some maternity photos for this sweet baby bump
weekly wisdom: i need to remember that not *everything* has to be done around the house/yard/etc. before this baby arrives.... but i'm having a hard time believing that when i tell myself!
milestones: just happy to be one week closer to full-term!
