Elliott:
You're about to hit a growth spurt, packing on around a half a pound a week in cute little baby fat. This week you weigh around 3.9 pounds and measure around 19 inches, still about the size of a head of lettuce.
This week we had our first baby showers. All of our friends and family are so excited to meet you, and they showered us with all kinds of gifts. You have so many cute little things waiting for you in your room now. We are overwhelmed with how blessed we are to have so many wonderful people in our lives who already love you so much. I can't wait to use all the things we got when you arrive.
After the showers I spent a lot of time "nesting" in your room. I put everything away and washed all your clothes and bottles. I think I may have over done it a little, because my lower back has been really sore, and I've spent every night this week on the heating pad. I've also been having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions at the end of the work day. Dr. Chang says this is just my body's way of practicing for labor in 8 short weeks!
Loving you more all the time,
Momma
