Week 31

Hi Baby!

This was a buuuuusy week - sort of - Your Dad threw me in the camper and we headed for the hills - technically deep into the mountains. It was probably our last camping trip of the year and before we have a little nugget running around. We went up to Deadwood Reservoir and met our friends Shane and Kara. Josh and Cole joined us for a night as well. The weather was just perfect, we shacked up in our favorite spot, the fishing was so-so but good enough, your Dad hiked into a lake and caught some really nice fish, I hunted for huckleberries but only found teeny tiny ones, Kara cooked amazing meals, we played lots of games like cribbage and dominoes, we had a camp fire every night, I swam in the lake, and of course napped a lot too. It was pretty lovely.

THEN when we got home we had to CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN the house and get ready for the Idaho Girls bebe shower!! Your Dad and I worked our tails off getting the house and yard ready - but everything looked so beautiful. Dad was really sweet and wanted everything to be just perfect. Your Auntie Katie hosted and made the day really special. I was really happy to have so many of my lovely lady friends in one room!

Would you believe we had ANOTHER baby shower the next day in MICHIGAN! I know, I know we are super spoiled. I like to just call it really really loved and lucky. So your Grandma Martha, Great Aunts Kim and Cindy and GREAT Grammy Cudnohufsky hosted another beautiful party on the lake. Many good friends and family members came and you and I Skyped in to join the party. It was riot and I think worked out technology-wise really well.

Michigan LOOT!

I Skyped in from your room ;)

That's probably enough fun time for this post! But just in case you're curious:

Your Pregnancy: Week 31

Out of breath? Your still-growing uterus is squeezing your lungs, making it impossible for them to fully expand like they used to. Things will improve once baby drops, probably in the next few weeks. Until then, sit up straight with your shoulders back to get a little relief. 

Baby's now the size of a pineapple! 

Baby's going through major brain and nerve development these days. His irises now react to light, and all five senses are in working order. (He won't pick up anything from his nose until after birth, though -- smell is transferred through air, not amniotic fluid.)

 

 

 

Love you baby ~ me
