He is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, & his arms, legs & body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin.

Best Moment this Week

I had a mini baby shower last weekend with a small group of friends. My first shower was big, & I really enjoyed it, but this was fun in a different way; we all just sat around & talked & laughed & ate food. We obviously don't need much stuff this time around, but I appreciate that my friends gave me an opportunity to celebrate Jack & I feel blessed by them.

Gender

BOY! Jack Wesley.

Movement

During the day things are pretty much the same, but at night I am aware of how much bigger Jack is getting, when I'm laying still trying to sleep & he is wiggling. He also has moved back down quite a bit - I'm not struggling with lung room anymore like I was a couple of weeks ago.

Food Craving

Still not really loving food much. For the most part, I'm pretty sick of it. I did have a delicious egg salad sandwich this weekend at Bird Bakery (if you SA folk haven't been there yet, go try it!).

Sleep

I'm sleeping okay. Having a little trouble falling asleep, but I have gone back to taking an hour(ish) long nap every day - I just have a hard time staying somewhat energetic (& not super grumpy) if I don't.

What I am looking forward to

One of my best friends, Haley, is coming in town Friday & we get to hang out all day! I have missed her friendship since they moved to Houston but whenever we see them, we are able to fall right back where we left off.

Symptoms
