31 Weeks

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

When's that baby boy getting a name? I've decided to give you a list of my favorite boy names... because I'm pushy and like to throw my ideas at people, whether they like them or not. :)

1. Luke
2. Jacob
3. Cole
4. Joel
5. Connor
6. Captain! :) Totally kidding.

Can't wait to see you next month!

The name is a constant source of debate b/w Boyd and I. Of course, he is of the belief that we should be able to take the baby home and play w/ it for a few days before deciding on a name. That's great - if I were giving birth to a puppy!! Luke is on the top of my list by the way.

Ok... that is too FUNNY!

Never would BOYD suggest putting off something... especially not the name of your CHILD!

It will be great when Bagel comes home with a name, and after a few days, Boyd decides he wants to change it!!!
