Week 31

Sorry! I'm a day late, didn't mean too, but I wasn't feeling good yesterday, and today I been busy with school work.

BUT I'm typing now so Its all good!!

First bump picture! I'm getting so big! and a couple bare belly pictures also!

I told ya, I'm getting big!! 

So what's been going on this past week. Sunday my best friends threw me a baby shower! It was great! I'm super blessed to have them as friends and to do this for me. As a thank you from me, I gave them Wine, which they enjoyed that night while we watched Army Wives. 

Here is a couple pictures from that day!

Me before the Party started, and I just looked really cute

The decorations my wonderful hostesses did! and the food which was so good!

My Wonderful Hostesses

Presents 

(also you can see the way I sit anymore.. always off to the side, I can't sit straight for long periods of time, otherwise my back starts to hurt to much!!)

And that's it, we played a couple games and ate the yummy food! it was a good day! and I loved it!

SO what else has been going on, I been monitoring my blood sugar, (oh speaking of... BRB need to do that real quick)

Saturday, Aaron and I spent the day in Child Birth Class.. Some Good Information, Some Not so much... 

But we got free samples, and we learned a lot, and talked to each other what we want during the birth and afterwards. Next Class for me isn't until the end of Sept and that's the breastfeeding class. Next month is going to be crazy, Block leave the next two and half weeks, and then I spend my time organzing the baby's room! and getting everything finished up! its crazy!

Friday Night, we leave for Chicago to visit Aaron's family, and then after that we head to Ohio to visit mine! two and half weeks of traveling and visiting family! I'm so excited!! and also when we are in Ohio my sister's will be hosting my other baby shower!

Oh what else is going on.. Nothing much just dealing with the back pain, and my carpal tunnel in my right hand has gotten way worse! no fun! so I'm wearing my wrist brace for now. 

and School, and keeping the house clean has kept me busy!

That's really about all that's been going on with me. 

Thank You for reading! and I'll see ya'll next week!!

Baby's now the size of a squash!
Baby's going through major brain and nerve development these days. His irises now react to light, and all five senses are in working order. (He won't pick up anything from his nose until after birth, though -- smell is transferred through air, not amniotic fluid.)

Your Baby in Week 31 of Pregnancy
Weighing in at three-plus pounds and measuring 18 inches long, your baby is quickly approaching his birth length — though he's got to pack on another three to five pounds before D-day. Also developing at an impressive clip: your baby's brain connections (he's got to make trillions of them!). He's now processing information, tracking light, and perceiving signals from all five senses. He's also putting in longer stretches of sleep, which is why you're probably noticing more defined patterns of wakefulness (and movement) and rest (when he’s pretty still).
