Tummy Tracker: Week 31

This is the belly at 31 weeks... unbelievable!
What Have The Babies Been Up To?
Movin', movin', movin'! With limited room left, they are beginning to get as uncomfortable as I am I guess... Our boy's kicks are pretty intense. Our girl is more of a nudger. But both are busy bodies and move a fair amount. They wake me up now and then with the strength of their movements.
What Have The Parents Been Up To?
We got life insurance taken care of. We are in the process of advertising our Versa (for sale by owner) and have narrowed down our list of baby names a bit. As a teacher, the baby naming naming process has proved especially difficult since so many names are out of contention based on previous students of mine...
What's Coming Up Next Week?
Each of our babies will be around 4.5 lbs and 16.7 inches long (that's alot of belly real estate!). I could be gaining about a pound a week, with roughly half of that going straight to our babies. However, being on this gestational diabetes diet it's also possible that my weight has plateaued. The babies will be fattening up for survival outside the womb. They will now have toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Their skin is becoming soft and smooth as they plump up in preparation for birth.
The parents will be getting car seats installed... in our new minivan!!! We'll finish up our will and get our birth plan finished. And hopefully, we'll get our Versa sold in short order!
