31 weeks... Dr appt



So yesterday I had my 31 weeks Dr.appt, it went good she said my weight is great (ha really), the baby sounds prefect, and now I'm on what she calls AUTO PILOT. 2 Months to good yea!!!! I'm almost done!!! So if anybody was wondering what's happening to the baby boy do I have lots of info for you. As far as growth goes, baby's still on a roll, measuring an around 18 inches and weighing in at more than three pounds. At 31 weeks pregnant, we can still expect her to gain at least three to five pounds, possibly more, before we meet her.
Her brain is working overtime these days, developing faster than ever. Connections between individual nerve cells are growing at a frenetic clip, and she can now perceive information from all five senses. No she can't smell anything right now, but that's only because he or she is still submerged in amniotic fluid and needs to be breathing air to get a whiff of anything. Lucky for me and baby mine will be one of the very first scents your baby breathes in, a scent that will quickly become her very favorite. (YOU HEAR THAT GODFATHER.... ME!) haha
So what's my little girl doing all day while I'm busy get our nest ready for her arrival? Making faces, hiccuping, swallowing, breathing, pedaling with little hands and feet along my uterine wall, and even sucking her thumb. Some babies suck their thumbs so vigorously while in the womb that they're born with a callus on their thumb (what a little sucker!). It's me in my PJ's....I'll have a better picture after Thanksgiving.
