31 weeks....!

Long weekends always screw me up, I thought it was Monday so thought tomorrow I was 31 weeks, but it's today. 9 weeks left to go.

What's happening with mommy to be?

Things are beginning to get tight in there, and heartburn and indigestion are common. Eat small meals more often and drink lots of water. You may have developed the pregnant "waddle"—that happens because pregnancy softens the ligaments in your pelvis, allowing your hips to spread to make room for the baby. Don’t worry, you won’t walk like a duck forever

I definitely do not have a pregnancy waddle yet, thank god. For sure things are tight in there, my meals are smaller (although more frequent now), and my heartburn is actually going away rather than being more common!

What's happening with baby?

Baby knows your voice. Singing to him, talking to him, and telling him all about the world he’ll be joining soon is a great way for you and your partner to bond with the baby—and each other! His fingernails have grown and he may even need a manicure after he's born.

Woo hoo! 31 weeks! I just got to 29...hard to believe that 30 is just around the corner.

You're right about babies coming "earlier" thing - I'm hearing more and more about that. I've decided that my ideal would be 39 weeks. LOL, if only that were in my control!:-)

You've just reminded me to go and check out my "weekly" update!
