Colin 31 weeks: According to Baby Center, this week Colin measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (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. According to our 3D ultra sound last weekend, he's even bigger! Allie 31 weeks: Last Thursday, my doctor changed my due date from June 7 to May 28. For weeks now when people have asked me my due date, I have always said late May/ early June. I am optimistic he's going to arrive early. :) (I know, I know...everyone thinks this!) However, my doctor seems to agree! After looking back at my anatomy scan (at 19 weeks) and measuring my belly (measuring ahead of schedule), he bumped up my due date up by a week and a half. (The May 28 date is the date the ultrasound technician decided at the anatomy scan.) I am excited to meet our lil man, and if it's a week and a half early, all the better. Kevin and I both have a firm deadline of when we have to return to work (mid-Aug) to start the school year, so the earlier he comes the more time we have with him. My reasons for wanting him to come early are purely selfish, I realize, but I just can't imagine putting a 10 week old in day care. I hope I'm able to take some additional time off, but with budget cuts/ salary reductions, we'll have to see how everything works out. On a positive note, we do have a very good lead on day care, and I think she'll be fabulous!
