31 Weeks and Counting


How Evie is growing:

This week, Evie measures over 16 inches long. Her weight is about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. 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.

WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!! I (Kyle) am already losing sleep...well so is Rachel, but it's more because Evie thinks it is fun to keep mom up with her all night long. After all, those nights can be pretty long and boring.
