How Far Along: 31 weeks!
(She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She'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.
Size of baby: 16 inches long and about 3.3 pounds (4 navel oranges)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I gained 0 pounds this week, so I'm still up 21 pounds.
Gender: A Sweet Baby GIRL!! Emery Katherine!
Movement: All the time! Since I'm past 30 weeks, my doctor wants me to count her movements/kicks everyday. I have to make sure I can feel her 10 times in an hour, twice a day. With how much she moves at night though I'm sure it'll only take 5 minutes to feel her 10 times!
What I miss: Being able to sit or be on my feet without my back hurting.
Sleep: Sleeping great, getting up once a night to use the bathroom.
Symptoms: Left rib hurts all the time, and my back gets real sore. Just makes me rest which I'm fine with since I'm so tired at night now. (Only made it until 9:00 pm on New Years Eve!)
Notes: My stomach measured 30 weeks last week at my appointment so I'm right on schedule. Also Emery's heartbeat was in the 140's, lower than usual but still sounded strong as ever.
"To-do" items checked off our list:
- Emery's armoire is completely set up! I bought lots of baskets for it, and have clothes organized by size hanging up, in the baskets, and the drawers. I am so grateful for all the clothes we have from Tara & Brooke, I don't think I'm going to have to do any laundry!
Look at the socks & little shoes!
Drawer for bibs, hair bows and hats!
- Bought baskets for the changing table.
- Got the entire guest bedroom set up with newly painted nightstand and headboard.
- Kyle finished the furring strips and framing out the hot water heater wall, as well as the electrical work.
-Plumber came by and officially hooked up all the pipes.

Best Moments this week: Having such a productive weekend, and even being able to squeeze in a movie at home. We haven't watched a movie in ages, it was a treat!
What we are looking forward to: Another weekend in town to work on our projects. Kyle has huge plans for the basement and Lacey's coming over to help hand paint the main wall in the nursery!
Here's the belly shot we took before church last weekend! YEAH for being 7 months!
Only 9 more weeks to go!
