Baby is a navel orange! Wow, that really seems big.
I guess that explains why it feels like my stomach is expanding all the time, but I've not gained too much weight - baby's making room! Baby is starting to make bones this week, so the lengthening will really start now -- especially if it takes after the taller members of its family (Roberts's in particular are tall folk).
Mommy has been terribly spoiled by everyone around her:
----Chris has been diving back into his love for cooking, and I've been benefitting! He's made an incredible chicken/black bean/rice soup a few times and last night he made a great chicken dish with root vegetables (butternut squash, turnips, carrots, potatos...yum). He takes a recipe that looks interesting and tweaks it to fit what he knows I'll like and what ingredients he can find.
----Grandpa Tom and Linda (Chris's dad and step-mom) came down last week, with a small pile of baby gifts :) There's nothing like a teeny little outfit or a soft blanket to make a future-mom melt! We had a good time while they were in town and Chris cooked for them, too! Linda's mom is working on a blanket for the baby, which I think is too sweet.
----"Granny D" (Chris's mom) sent me a massaging/heating chair seat to help with my back pain/sciatic nerve pain. I was chillin on that all afternoon yesterday.
See how spoiled I am? I know it's all for the baby, but the incubator is definitely benefitting. And all the grandparents have offered to each buy a piece of furniture for the nursery, so we feel SO blessed to not have to worry about those items. Life is good.
