Another Friend for Sophia
We recently found out that one of our friends is adopting a little girl in May!  They have been waiting so long to bring an addition to their family and now they can finally give their son a little sister. We are so happy for them, especially since it means that Sophia's play group is getting larger and larger!  We can't wait to meet Mary Ella Purser.

Easily Entertained
I admit it, I am a belly watcher. When Sophia starts moving around, I can't help but watch the visible result of a belly that seems to jump and jive. Of course I do try to keep from looking down at my bulbous belly when I'm in a meeting with say, U.S. Representative Kay Granger, but that doesn't mean that I'm not tempted!   I just think it is so amazing that I can both feel AND see evidence of Sophia's health and energy. I guess I'm easily entertained.

Week 31
I finally got some pictures uploaded!  You can see my linea negra (more like a linea barely visible light brown) and my alien belly button!  Dean thinks it looks so weird, but it is the result of my naval piercing.  There are the two holes and the actual belly button. Oh well, at least my belly button hasn't "popped" yet.

According to Whattoexpect.com, this is what is going on with Sophia this week:

Your baby's on a roll, measuring an impressive 18 inches and weighing in at more than three pounds. You can still expect your developing baby to gain at least three to five pounds, possibly more, before you two meet.

As far as growth goes, your baby's still on a roll, measuring an impressive 18 inches and weighing in at more than three pounds. You can still expect your baby to gain at least three to five pounds, possibly more, before you two meet.
 
Your baby's brain is working overtime these days, developing faster than ever.   Connections between individual nerve cells are growing at a frenetic clip, and your baby can now perceive information from all five senses. Sure, your baby can't smell anything right now, but that's only because he or she is still submerged in amniotic fluid and needs to be breathing air to get a whiff of anything. Lucky for you — and your baby — yours will be one of the very first scents your baby breathes in, a scent that will quickly become his or her very favorite.

So what's your little dove doing all day while you're busy feathering your nest for his or her arrival? Making faces, hiccupping, swallowing, breathing, pedaling with little hands and feet along your uterine wall, and even sucking his or her thumb. In fact, some babies suck their thumbs so vigorously while in the womb that they're born with a callus on their thumb (what a little sucker!).

I Passed the Test
I just got a call from the doctor's office to let me know that I DO NOT have gestational diabetes!  Yea!  Carol, our nurse, told me to have some cheesecake.   I think I'll take advantage of the left over Paciugo gelato that I missed when I rushed home on Tuesday.
