Yesterday marked the 31st week of pregnancy – time is flying by like whoa. Sprout is approximately 16 inches long and about 3.3 pounds (weight of 4 navel oranges) according to BabyCenter.com. We’re guessing Sprout is slightly more than 16 inches and about 4.5 pounds since he weighed 4 pounds last week.

8 weeks of strict bed rest
3 weeks of modified bed rest (what I like to call “house arrest”, since I could leave the bed/couch, but not really go anywhere or do anything)

in 6 weeks, the [...]

And now, we’re just over 28 weeks pregnant.
28 weeks is officially in the third trimester
28 weeks means if he were to come [...]
