Elliott:
We're less than four months from your due date, and this week marks the beginning of a growth spurt for you. In the next four weeks you should double in size! Right now you are around 8 inches from crown to rump and you weigh about 1.2 pounds, about the size of a papaya.
I've started feeling a little uncomfortable this week. My belly feels like it is stretched to its capacity every time I eat a meal. Sometimes I feel like I need to catch my breath when I'm just sitting still, because my organs are being squished. It's hard to imagine my belly getting bigger, but I know we still have a ways to grow.
We went for our check up with Dr. Chang this week. Your Daddy has come with me to every appointment so far. We both love getting to go hear your heart beat. This time your heart rate was 144 bpm. My weight gain had picked up significantly at this appointment, but Dr. Chang says we're still on track for my height.
We still talk about you all the time. We can't wait to see who you will look like and what your personality will be. We love you so very much and we can't wait to meet you.
