Week 31 Baby Updates!

It's been a little while since I've updated--life has been crazy!! We've hit the 31 week mark, and I'm definitely feeling it! I'm much more sore and tired these days and breathing has become a little more difficult task to complete!

Here are Christian's "specs" for the week:

Your baby's total length is 18.9 inches (42cm) and he is perfectly formed! He measures about 11.6 inches (29cm) from crown to rump. All he has to do is fill out more.

Your baby weighs almost 4 pounds (1800g). If he were to be born now, he would still need to be incubated as he has insufficient fat stores to keep it warm.

Your baby can distinguish between light and dark.

Your baby can hear the outside world quite well now, and can also hear the sounds of your heartbeat, your digestion and the blood rushing in the umbilical cord. The pitch of women's voices are in the range babies are most able to hear over all the internal background noise.

Your baby is already familiar with your voice and will be able to recognize it after birth.
