31 weeks and 4 Oranges


So 31 weeks has arrived and I can't begin to comprehend that I have another 9 weeks....I am so uncomfortable, there are no words....but I keep telling myself, over and over and over.....in the end, I am going to have this beautiful baby.

The baby is about 16.25 inches long and weighs about 3.3lbs, roughly the size of 4 navel oranges. The baby is beginning to turn from a reddish color to pink. Fat is developing to protect the baby for it's main exit.

Yesterday I had Braxton Hicks contractions all day on top of severe leg cramps last night. So I have amped up my water intake and am eating a banana in the morning and evening.  Jeff & I got a yoga ball for me to sit on and help relieve some of the back pain that I am experiencing, so far it seems to help, but only when I sit on it.


Me at 31 weeks...not the most flattering photo, but it is all I have until we have our maternity photos taken next month.
