Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

31 weeks

And it seems like Kylie is seriously running out of room in there. Her movements have changed lately. Instead of big kicks and punches all the time, now it feels like she is squirming around in there and trying to stretch out. It is a very strange feeling. I'm starting to think that she has turned the wrong way though. I don't know, I could be wrong but I feel like she is laying horizontally across my belly because I feel the hiccupps on the right side of my body. I guess technically she could be head down with her body on the right and what I'm feeling is her body moving up and down when she hiccupps. I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid, but I really hope she is facing the right way before she really runs out of room and is unable to turn at all. I'm feeling fine otherwise. Just trying to get the room all set up and decorated and get everything ready to bring our baby home.

Weekly Update: This week, your baby 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.
