Single Digits Now!!

Hey everyone! As usual, too much time has passed since our last post! We are now 31 weeks....and in the single digits.....only 9 weeks left! I can't believe it :) It is going by so fast, yet so slow at the same time- if that makes any sense!

Jim and I can't wait to see our sweet little girl.....I just light up thinking about it all!! So what is going on at 31 weeks??                     
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 31 weeks
Total Weight Gain: 15 pounds - I have an appointment next Tuesday, so we will see... my belly has been growing! 
Maternity Clothes: Yes!!
Best Moment this week:  Every little movement she is making.....I feel her ALL day long! It is such a neat thing
Gender: It's A GIRL! Ainsley Christine!
Movement:  Yes it is AMAZING!  My whole belly moves around :) 
Food Craving: None really...just hungry all the time :)
What I miss: Sleeping on my belly! 
Sleep:  Not much....but I have also been pretty sick :(
What I am looking forward to:  My doctor's appointment next week. 
Symptoms:  Lower back pains 

What is happening with Ainsley??
Well, at our last appointment she was already 3 pounds 1 ounce! She is around 18 inches long and getting close to her birth length. Also developing at an impressive rate: her brain connections! She is already able to process information, track light, and perceive signals from all 5 senses...isn't that AMAZING!

Overall, I have felt great...until the past week. I caught some bug and it really did me in. Luckily, we had 2 snow/ice days at school so that gave me extra time to rest! Jim has been wonderful!! He is so supportive, loving, and helpful. Anything I need he makes sure I get. Boy am I lucky!! This past weekend was the last weekend of duck hunting...which if you know Jim that is a BIG deal!! He had to miss out on a few days to stay home and take care of me. Here is a picture of him that his brother took....how cool is this:
I thought this picture was so neat....it looks like a professional took it! Too bad I can't get it to go bigger!

Well, thanks for checking in on us! We have lots to do in the upcoming weeks...including several showers in March!

Love, 
Jim, Katie, and Baby Ainsley
