31 weeks... 9 weeks to go!

I am 31 weeks pregnant!! :) The countdown begins. We are counting down single digits now! It is crazy to think about!!

Alden is 16 inches long and about 3 1/2 pounds! He is STILL in my ribs with those feet of his. I think one of my rib bones is bruised because it hurts worse and worse each time he kicks. He is getting more fat on his body and in the next few weeks will be going through a growth spurt.


I have been still having braxton hicks contractions. I usually get them if I do too much during the day or I have a full bladder. Ever since last week and having to go to the hospital, I have been resting a lot more. I drink TONS of water which makes me have to get up more during the night, but if it will keep my little guy in there I'm not complaining!

Lyndon and I haven't gone to a birthing class at all. I am the youngest sister in my family and both my sisters have been through labor multiple times. My sister, Susan, went through her labors without an epideral. She just had some meds at the end of it. My mom and my sister are teaching me breathing techniques, positions, and relaxation techniques. I think I am more worried about how Lyndon will do than how I will do! :)


Alden's room is coming together more and more. He is getting lots of books and toys, TONS and TONS of clothes and diapers! My mom bought us our baby carrier and it is going to be delivered any day! After that, we are ready for this little boy to come. He just needs to get a little bit bigger! :) I am definitely counting down the days! :)




Until next week,

Lyndon, Stacy, and Alden :)
