Elliott:
You've finally broken the 1 pound mark (but I broke that mark in my pregnancy weight gain months ago)! This week you're 8 inches long from crown to rump and you weight about 1 pound, making you about the size of a spaghetti squash (whatever that is). Your sense of touch is developing this week, meaning you may be holding on to the only thing in the womb with you, your umbilical cord. You can also see light and dark now.
You still like to move a lot in the evenings. I can even see my belly twitch when you kick or jab. There's nothing better after a long day at work than to lay down in bed and feel you move.
Your crib was delivered this week. We haven't opened it yet, but we're hoping to get it put together soon. I'm anxious to start seeing your room come together in the next couple of weeks. We're keeping it simple; the walls are gray and all the furniture is white. I wanted to go for a modern look, something that can grow with you.
We go back to see Dr. Chang on Tuesday. We're looking forward to hearing your heart beat and seeing how much weight I gained in the past month. Even though it's hard to see the number on the scale rise each month, I couldn't imagine a better cause.
We love you so very much,
Momma
