our little man this week....

this week, your baby measures about 16 inches long. He weighs a little over 4 pounds and is headed for a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and he's beginning to accumulate a layer of fat underneath his skin in preparation for life as a newborn. As a result, his arms, legs, and body are filling out.
For the next eight weeks, he'll gain weight faster than he increases in length, at the rate of about half a pound a week. The bigger he gets, the harder it will be to "see" him on ultrasound and get a good estimate of his size--the margin of error increases to 15 percent by the end of the third trimester. But he's definitely growing fast, and you'll notice that his kicks will start to feel more like squirming as he runs out of room to roam.

wow...major weight gain for Jordan over the next 8 weeks or so. Wonder about me???? yikes!
last night i was woken up several times by his squirming. he was killing my ribs!!!

here's a pic of josie and her new favorite spot. the crib has been up awhile but she just discovered this little perch and we're going to have to wean her from it soon. she thinks it's her little bed. now every single time i go by the nursery she's there. what a mess!
