Pop!

Yeah, I really popped this week! =) My belly is much bigger, which means clothes are much tighter and I'm much more conspicuous in my running clothes! I've been scavenging my closet for the baggiest clothes I can find.

Jelly Bean is really growing! This week we've learned that he/she is about the size of a shrimp - I just wonder what that really means, because I've seen rather large shrimp served as H'ors doeurves at fancy parties (thinking of Aunt Linda's Anniversary Party for Ellen Tracy right now!), but also small shrimp on friends' platters at Red Lobster. Hmmmm.....anyway, we know our Jelly Bean is bigger than a lime, so that must be a pretty good-size shrimp!

Right now Jelly Bean is developing his/her own unique finger prints. How amazing!! I still haven't felt any little kicks or squirms inside, but I am sure that our little Jelly Bean is dancing away in there.

I feel pretty lucky that the morning sickness (or nausea, as I never really got very sick) has been COMPLETELY GONE. I better knock on wood as I'm writing this...but I'm also pretty blessed that I've been able to sleep through the night completely (and I sure do fall asleep fast!! A true change for me!!). Steve certainly appreciates how quickly I fall asleep, as he gains complete reign over the remote for the rest of the night. =)

Yawn, I'm feeling sleepy already....
