Week 31 Update!

Your baby's the size of a pineapple!

He's about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds this month. He's getting so big, he's probably crowding your lungs.

• He's going through major brain and nerve development.
• Eye development, too. His irises now react to light!
• All five of his senses are in working order.

     I was away on holidays this past week- so I didn't end up getting the chance to vlog- I also wasn't really feeling up to it :S The day of the week changeover- I woke up with horrible backache and feeling really crappy- but I'll cover that more in next weeks update.

     This past week I was at the cottage, like I said, and I was in an unfamiliar bed- so I tossed and turned a lot. Sleep wasn't the most comfortable. Baby has been moving a LOT- he's always moving his limbs around in there, it looks like a sea creature from the outside lol. 

     The only craving I've noticed this week was coca cola. I have really been wanting the fizzy awesomeness of it. I think I had one almost everyday (don't worry- all the other drinks were water and juice lol). Still not too excited about onions. I tried them on a Hamburger this past week- and they were okay, but I think they were videlia (no idea how to spell it) onions, so they were sweeter and less intrusive. 

     This week I had that weird sciatic pain again- from my lower back-through my butt-and down my legs... this time it was in both sides though. Ouch! My back is getting really sore, ribs are even more squished and cramped and uncomfortable. Still cramping fairly often- but not at regular intervals, and not painful, colostrum is still making itself known lol. 

     Looking forward to maternity photos coming up! I think September 1st! :)

     This is a photo my sister took- I didn't get the usually belly shots but I do have this one! (there might be a couple more from the week that I can slip in here later)
