Week 31 (and 1 day)


It's shocking how much this little guy kicks and punches me.  It's pretty much a constant feeling.  I don't think he takes a break when he's awake.  A lot of punches to my hips and pelvic bone, and kicks to my gut and lungs.  He's going to keep us busy when he's born with activity if this is any sign of his temperament.

I've gotten a few more stretch marks but not that bad; they look like the some of the same stretch marks I got with Claire just reappearing but so far not nearly as many has I had with Claire.  I've also not yet gotten the linea negra line I got with the girls.  Given I'm already over 30 weeks, I wonder if I'm just going to get it this time.

I am starting to feel like I've been hit in the crotch with a bat more frequently now.  He's definitely starting to put pressure on me with his weight.

Growth is beginning to slow a teeny bit, but the brain is going through a period of rapid development. The only major organ left to fully develop is the lungs. His testes begin to descend from the body cavity to the scrotum. Our little guys weighs about 3.5 pounds with a crown-to-rump length of 11.75".
