Things have been changing a lot around here! I was starving at the end of last week and the beginning of this one, and it seems to have paid off in a big growth spurt in the last few days. This morning when I stepped on the scale I realized I'd hit three milestones: 1. The 140 lb mark (up 10lbs from pre-pregnancy), 2. If I stood straight up and looked down, I could no longer see my toes, and 3. The skin on my stomach has stretched enough I can see all the way to the bottom of my belly button.
Even though I'd heard a strong heart beat at my last OB appointment, I'd been nervous earlier in the week because I hadn't felt the baby move very much. I guess he was just resting up to grow because yesterday morning I was rewarded with some great kicks that I could even see from the outside. This week the baby is the size of a large mango or grapefruit, weighing in at a about pound and about 11 inches in length. He'll double in weight (up to a whopping 2lbs) over the month.
