How your baby’s growing:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She’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.

I read this outloud to Jess just now and we both laughed outloud. “heading into a growth spurt” hahahahaha! What has she been doing? might I remind you she has gained 3 weeks on this pregnancy and it looks like she may gain more all said and done. Might I remind you mu original due date was in July and I am now pushing early Fathers Day… So her growth spurt has been happening on and off since week 18. I fear the growth spurt she is heading into!

I find it harder than ever now to not sleep on my back. That is by far the most comfortable position, but I wake up short of breath and know it is also decreasing oxygen to the baby. *Uugghh* I reiterate. Anyone who says, I love and/or miss being pregnant does not remember the facts.
