31 Weeks...

I didn't get around to taking my picture this week. Doh!! I had my appointment with the midwife last Thursday. My glucose test came back negative, which means I don't have and won't contract gestational diabetes which is a huge relief. I was also told at my 28 week OB appointment that bub was breech but was thankfully "head down" at my 30 week midwife appointment (which explains the summersaulting she was doing over the past two weeks!) This doesn't necessarily mean she'll stay that way seeing as I have another 9 weeks to go, but as she runs out of room it will be a lot harder for her to change position. She is still pretty active so we'll see what position she's in at my appointment next week.

Popp Jnr's development at 31 weeks... Bub's arms, legs and body continue to fill out -- and they are finally proportional in size to her head. She weighs about 3.3 pounds/1.5 kilograms and looks more like a newborn. She measures about 16 inches/ 41 centimetres from crown to toe. Believe it or not, she still has plenty of growing to do. She will gain at least two more pounds/900 grams before delivery.
