Baby's Growth: Size of a cantaloupe. We are at about 19 inches long and around 5 pounds. I can't believe how much more weight he is going to gain before all is said and done. I feel like there is already no more room for him to grow.
Boy or Girl: Boy! We are naming him Benjamin Curtis Dove after his grandfather, Ben, Josh's dad, and his great-grandfather, Curtis, my dad's dad. We will call him Ben Curtis.
Cravings: Not really anything new this week.
How I'm Feeling: I am feeling pretty good. I am more tired these days and my back is hurting more and more.
Movement: I am feeling him move almost all the time. It used to be mostly at night when I would lay down, but now he makes himself known all day long. I will be teaching and get kicked in the side daily.
Favorite Moment this Week: Our babymoon! Josh planned a surprise weekend away to Hilton Head. He told me on Thursday night to pack a bag for the weekend away. We left Friday after school and I had no idea where we were going. I thought it was going to be downtown Atlanta. To my surprise, we kept driving and driving. About an hour away, he finally told me we were headed to Hilton Head. I was so excited to spend the weekend at the beach! We rested a lot, Josh swam in the outdoor heated pool (so cool!), walked on the beach, did some shopping, enjoyed delicious meals together, and he scheduled a "Pea in the Pod" massage to end the weekend. It was perfect. I loved every second with him. We dreamed about being parents, and we even started planning our next trip. It's so exciting to think we will be a party 3!
Sleeping: I average about eight hours a night, give or take. I have always slept at least eight hours at night, and I'm thankful that has not changed! I do get up a couple times to use the bathroom, but I usually can fall back asleep pretty quickly. I am very thankful for sleep right now!
Clothes: My leggings are definitely the most comfortable things right now. I feel like all of my pants with the bands are getting tighter and tighter...I am wondering if I will have to get another pair before all is said and done.
Most looking forward to: My baby showers! I have three within one week, so we are going to be very ready for BC. I can't wait to get all of the little things.
Thankful for: My sweet husband who planned our little getaway weekend. I will always remember our "last getaway" before we became parents.
