Elliott,
You are no longer "Jellybean," you have a name: Elliott Knight Grant. Your first name means "Jehovah is my God," and that is our prayer for you, that one day you will call Jehovah your God. Your middle name was the maiden name of your great great grandmother, and the middle name of your great grandpa Sowle.
Your growing faster every week. This week you are the size of a sweet potato (about 5 and a half inches long from crown to rump, weighing about 5 ounces). My belly is looking more pregnant every week, and rightly so since my uterus has grown to the size of a cantaloupe!
Your Daddy spent this week in Las Vegas working, so I was on my own for taking a belly picture. I used a tripod to take the picture, but without his help, Lola insisted on posing with me. We just know you are going to love Lola. I am already picturing you two being big buddies one day.
You have started giving me a little back pain, so I had to buy a huge pregnancy pillow to help me sleep at night. When your Dad gets home there won't be much room left for him between me, the pillow and Maggie in our queen sized bed.
In less than a week we go see Dr. Chang to check on you. I can't wait to tell him you are a boy and to hear your heartbeat again. I don't think that sound will ever get old.
Counting down to January,
Momma
