BABY'S SIZE     a kale!  13.5-14.5 inches, and 1.5-2.5 pounds.  this range seems to last forever.

HOW I'M FEELING     pretty good.  the tips and tricks from our birthing class are really nice for some extra relaxation.

WHAT I'M EATING     cereal is the one thing i want all the time.  i have the occasional dessert craving, but that's usually late at night when we really don't want to go anywhere, so i have to tell my craving no.

HOW I'M CHANGING     i never notice any changes as they happen (my belly growing).  then suddenly it's there.  i see a picture, or i realize how hard something has gotten (leaning over to tie my shoes - super gut-squeezing).

MOVEMENT     baby is just wiggling away.  i like to think that it's communicating with me.

SLEEP     i've been having a hard time switching back and forth from days and nights for work.  so mostly i sleep 3 hours here, and 6 hours there, and never have a regular schedule.  my first night at work is always a hard one.

THINGS THIS WEEK     more birthing class.  i really like them.  we might even make some friends this week!

LOOKING FORWARD TO     i finally made appointments for massages!  we got gift certificates for christmas and we're just now getting to them.  i also got one for my birthday and i scheduled that one for june, for when i'm really feeling pregnant.

FUN FACT     baby's eyes are forming and will soon start to open.  baby has eyelashes, and is "breathing" the amniotic fluid for practice.
