I just realized that it has been quite some time since my last Nemo update, so I snapped a couple of shots of my cutie-patootie Jess and will update you on the latest.

We had another one of our monthly doctor appointments last Wednesday and all looks good. We are at week 31 and little Nemo’s heart was pitter-patting at about 151 beats per minute, he weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 pounds, and (unfortunately for Jess) has recently taken to kicking various parts of Jess’ internal workings – Jess’ ribs appear to be a personal favorite right now. He typically starts moving around every evening around 7pm or so and some of his moves are quite pronounced… I have a theory that he is try to be like his dad and is practicing some breakdancing moves!

With the holidays fast approaching and the due date in mid-February, I am sure this time is going to disappear like a blink. Some people have given the advice “to just enjoy” the time, but I think rib kicks tend to distract a person from all that fun!

We have another appointment with the doctor on Dec 22 and are also going through a sort-of informal child birth education with one of their nurses, so we are both looking forward to that. I will post another update then…
