31 Weeks!

Hello Everyone! Elliott here! I am 31 weeks old today!

Right now, I weigh probably somewhere between 3.5-4lbs. Some of mommy's information she gets says 3.3 lbs but I weighed more than that at the ultrasound! I could be anywhere between 16-19 inches long now too! As I get bigger, I lose space in Mommy's tummy and boy can she tell. I kick her and punch her, and roll around in there and she really feels me a lot! I am able to now move my head side to side which is exciting. Mommy actually can tell which way I am looking because when I have the hiccups she can feel which side they are mainly coming from! I have the hiccups a lot. A nurse told Mommy when she was in the hospital that I will continue to have hiccups a lot when I am born because I am having them so much now. I really enjoy moving around in Mommy's tummy and she loves it too, for the most part. She loves seeing me move from side to side and has been able to feel my legs and my feet. One thing she isn't so fond of, is how I like to pound on her when she is trying to go to bed...she manages though!

Sleeping has become hard for Mommy lately. I like to be awake at night and that tends to keep her up, but even when she does fall asleep I will kick her bladder and then shes up again! She also is really really sore. Her legs feel like jello a lot of the time and her back hurts her a lot. Her hips are really sore too. Mommy has been stretching as much as she can and moving her arms to stay active.

Mommy has been staying busy lately even more so than normal. She has been staying busy with her work newsletters and has been doing some online shopping too! She is getting some things for me which I am really excited to see! She also finally got her projects downstairs and plans to start on them soon! Nana V is coming this week and Mommy and Nana are going to stay busy too. Mommy has some things she needs help going through so Nana hopefully will be able to help Mommy with that. Nana is going to bring Mommy to all of her doctors appointments coming up so Daddy can rebuild his vacation time. Mommy and Daddy are a little nervous for the holidays this year because Daddy has used so much time for me already.

Daddy is always busy! Daddy went to Lowes and got a whole bunch of paint samples for Mommy to look at for my nursery. Daddy has to work this weekend, but if he has time, he hopes to get my room painted! They picked out some very nice colors and I am excited to see my room. Daddy also has added another project of finishing out the closet in my nursery! Daddy pulled out everything from my room and hopes to have everything of mine set to go soon! Daddy is surprised we have made it this far and has a countdown for next week because 32 is our major goal! Though I can come at anytime, anytime past 32 is best!

Well, Mommy hopes to have some belly pictures up for next week and maybe even some pictures of some of the things Mommy is working on. Until next week everyone!!

Mommy has her two doctor appointments this week and hopefully all stays well! She will let you know!

Love you all!
