Saturday

Week 31

Week Thirty-One: March 14 - 20, 2009
Weeks left until Baby Bodkin's due date: 9

I am now getting up to pee about ___ times a night:

a.) one or less
b.) two to three
c.) too many to count

Answer: (a) I have been really lucky and I tend to only wake up one time in the middle of the night. It is generally around 5 or 4 o'clock in the morning, so I really can't complain. However, before being pregnant I never woke up in the middle of the night. I guess it is slowly getting me used to middle of the night feedings :)

I had some time today (Saturday the 14th), so I decided to create a progression photo. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and I faced in different directions in some of the pics, but here is what I have so far. I will continue to update it as the weeks pass...



* HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY *



And of course a few belly pics for the week...



Baby Development Notes This week, Baby Bodkin measures over 16 inches long. He/she weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying 4 naval oranges like the ones pictured below) and is heading into a growth spurt. He/she can turn his/her head from side to side, and the arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath the skin. Baby Bodkin is moving a lot, too, so one may have trouble sleeping because the baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that the baby is active and healthy.
