31 Weeks

The countdown has begun!  Only 9 more weeks to go and only one more four-day week of work left :)

Saw the midwife on Tuesday.  Everything is still bang on target.  Baby McB was head down with his spine on my left and feet out the right.  Getting a heart rate was fun this time round as he just wouldn't keep still for her and stuck his feet out to say hello too! 

Have been getting feet under my ribs this week, ick, that's NOT pleasant lol.  Sometimes I feel like he's stuck under my ribs when I bend over so can't do that easily now.  

Lots of squirmy movements this week like a giant worm!  Lots of pushing out and not so much kicking so he must be getting snug in there. Thought I felt some rhythmic practice breathing motions the other day but the midwife thinks it was just the hiccups.

Had a great break away in Auckland which made this last week just zoom by.  Now looking forward to Mum coming down to stay for Christmas in a couple of weeks :)

The interwebs tells me that I can expect baby to put on half a pound a week now until 38 weeks!  That seems HUGE!   He now weighs roughly 4 pounds and is about 17 inches long (about the same as me when I was born!).
