31 weeks/8 months


At this point, visits are every 3 weeks.  At yesterdays visit, Olivia Marie Williams weighed 3 lbs 12 oz with a heart rate in the 150's.  Doc said out of 100 kids, she'd be number 52 on the scale for her weight which makes me happy.


From baby center:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He'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.

From the bump:
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.)
