31 Weeks

THIS week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying 4 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.

Developments (well, only one):
I've been on a Panera Chocolate Chipper Cookie (no nuts) kick..this isn't the best thing because 1) cookies aren't healthy 2) all the Paneras in Wichita are so busy that I'm not guaranteed they'll have that cookie in stock 3) lately the cookies have been kinda brown...I'm really close to sending in some correspondence!
