31 weeks!

We hit 31 weeks on Friday. Only 9 weeks to go. I can't believe how fast this is going. Baby will be here before we know it! I'm starting to get a bit anxious and a little scared about having the baby. This is something I've never done before. I have no idea what it's going to be like. 
I've been getting more & more exhausted lately. I still think I'm overdoing it when I'm at home. I really need to take it easy and rest but I just feel like there are things that need to be done and they won't be done unless I do them! ugh.
So, the baby shower went well! I'm so glad. My mom got last minute approval to have it at her church (Thank God). Such a huge weight off my shoulders! (It was supposed to be at my house). Sam's club messed up the cake 3 times but the final product was fine. I was sooooo exhausted after the shower. whew!

Other good news: We painted the nursery! yay :D Also, we ordered the crib & picked it up yesterday. Things are moving right along. This is exciting. :)

According to BabyCenter.com:

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3 1/3 pounds (about the size of a coconut) 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. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

Baby is the size of a pineapple (per thebump.com):
