31 Weeks

I am down to the last 9 weeks of my pregnancy. Which means I am in last two months when you gain the most weight and get the biggest the fastest. I am so excited (insert extreme sarcasm.) I feel over the past two weeks I have really grown. But the funny part is I didn't notice until I had Mike take my belly picture tonight. During the past two weeks, I wasn't able to take any belly pictures with all the moving and chaos that was going on in our lives, but I am recommitted to updating my blog weekly with belly pictures

The baby moves around a lot an loves to kick me in my ribs and hips. I swear I am growing a future US gold medal gymnast. The baby flips and turns all day everyday, which a truly a great thing, but annoying when I want to sleep.

The baby has been growing like crazy and is now the size of a squash! Here is some fun information about our little "sesame."

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

Here are my current belly pictures at 31 weeks.
