And the side by side from last week:
Gosh, I love to watch that belly grow!! :) It looks rounder this week, more filled out or something?
The baby is the size of a lime this week.
Instead of the typical picture from the internet, I picked one up at the grocery store this week and snapped a picture of it in my hand. I then promptly got tears in my eyes right there in the produce section. It was the first really personal moment for me with this baby and it was with a lime. :) The visual of that little lime in my hand was just so eye opening. There's a baby in that belly, that baby is the size of this lime I'm holding in my hand, and that baby is mine forever. The magnitude of that is still not real I don't think. I'm sure that sounds ridiculous week after week - but I'm just being honest. :)
The biggest development this week is the baby's reflexes - it's fingers open and close, it's eyes clench, and it's mouth makes sucking motions. If Julie were to push on her belly, the baby would squirm in response - although she wouldn't be able to feel it. :) The baby is just over 2 inches long and weighs a half of an ounce.
In other news, my adorable sister made this for me today:
So stinkin' cute! :) Kevin was a little disturbed by it - but she's just hanging out on my island for now because I think she's adorable! Perfect for fall. Now, if Baby K is a boy - this might get a little awkward in his scrapbook....but whatever, right?!

Have a great week, friends!
