31w0d

How far along? 31w0d or 77.5% or 8 months pregnant.
Total weight gain/loss: +18 pounds.
Size: Four naval oranges or Squash.  He's over 16 inches long and weighs about 3.3 pounds.
Baby Development: He can turn his head from side to side and his arms, legs, and body are starting to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's also still going through major brain and nerve development. His irises now react to light and all 5 senses are in working order.
Movement: YES! Both movements and kicks happen regularly throughout the day and night now.
Food cravings: Nothing new lately.
Food aversions: None.
What I miss: Jimmy John's, alcohol, my jeans (haven't bought maternity ones since I doubt I'll wear them much this summer)
How I'm feeling: For the most part I'm feeling good, I have the normal pregnancy aches and pains...but I manage to waddle myself around :)
Milestones/Best moment this week: I felt him move/kick above my belly button for the first time, which means he might be getting ready to move into the head down position some time soon....I've read he could be dropping in the next couple of weeks, which blows my mind...how did this fly so fast?!?

Loving the nursery! And loving you! Can't wait to see the belly in person! I like the new wheels too. Although they aren't the most attractive, they are the most practical. Good choice! Love ya!
