The Baby - Week 31

The wee one this week is 16 inches long and the equivalent in weight of four navel oranges (about 3.3 pounds). She will at least double in weight by the time she is born. She can turn her head side to side. She is continuing to plump up and her movement is increasing (Yes it is!). The doctor told me I would gain probably another ten-twelve pounds before she is born – Joy! I've already gained close to thirty! Otherwise all is well with the baby. I passed the three hour glucose test so I don't have gestational diabetes. Hurrah!
