31 Week Update (or 63 days to go!)

I'm now at 2 week doctor appointments - exciting, right?! We went for our 4-D sonogram last week and were disappointed not to be able to see anything! Grayson appears to be frank breech right now, where he is not only bottom down but his legs are straight up and his feet are in front of his face. So, you can imagine how difficult it is to see a baby's face when they have their hands AND feet covering it! ;-) We did get one blurry smile out of it and saw his tongue stick out so it was all worth it in the end. The doc office is letting us attempt a better 4-D experience next appointment. Hopefully, not only will he be flipped but we will have a better shot of our baby. Otherwise, we have about 2-4 weeks after that for him to move head down or the doctor (and us) will start to worry and we need to start considering c-section as a possibility. But no need to worry for now, he could somersault 50 times before then and trust me, it feels like he is!

Off to breastfeeding class! Hopefully, somewhere in that lesson plan is a chapter on how to get over my ooginess about it. Happy Saturday - it's a beautiful day!!

How your baby's growing:

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