Growing

I measured my waist last night at 36.5"--a whole yard around!

The weekly e-mail updates suggest that Beta weighs a bit over 4 pounds now and is probably over 17 inches long. I'll believe it.

Over the last few days, I've noticed that it is harder to find a comfortable position for sleep. Not sure how much of that is traveling and how much of that is changes in my body. Due to travels, I've slept in a total of six different beds in the last two weeks, including three different beds in the last four nights. I'll add another bed to that total when we travel out to California for Jesse's family reunion next week.

Beta's kicks and squirms are now stronger encouragements to work on my posture. When I slouch, her movements are more likely to press uncomfortably against ribs and other organs. Not that good posture eliminates that problem, but it does give her a bit more room to move around before it starts annoying me.

I have a regular check-up on Wednesday morning--four weeks since my last check-up. I expect all reports to still be good.
