31.5 weeks down...

I don't have any pictures just yet, but I'll give a general baby update for my loyal followers --

Baby V is already 4 pounds and growing perfectly! He's a pretty active little guy. His favorite times to kick me all over are during the middle of the night. Right now I'd call his favorite activity getting the hiccups (which he does at least once a day) and he is a pretty big fan of using my bladder as a trampoline (too much information? I'll say no).

In about 5 1/2 weeks, he'll be considered full term -- but I'm anticipating his arrival in about 8 1/2 weeks... or 9 weeks... because I'm sure it'll be somewhat less frustrating to just plan on having a late baby (right). He'll call the shots, though.

Jason and I started childbirth class last night. Because I'm an avid (read: obsessive) researcher about all things baby, I knew most of what we covered in our first class. I did, however, find it amusing that during the video reminding all pregnant women to stay thoroughly hydrated, they showed a woman doing just that -- by pouring a Capri Sun pouch into a glass. And here I am, drinking unsugared water like a schmuck.

Keep the prayers coming for little Baby V -- we can't wait to meet him!
