Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.

* How big is baby: 4 lbs+
* Next appointment: Thursday, Feb 4 at 3
* Maternity clothes?: are boring...
* Sleep?: Same.
* Best moment this week?: working on nursery with Nick. We bought at assembled a night stand this week. We also picked up a few other things- activity center (he can play with this starting at 4 months or so, but it was 25% off) and diaper genie. I am also washing the smaller clothes from my shower today. I also finished the shower thank yous, so I will be sending those out tomorrow.
* Movement?: Still seems busiest when I am resting

* Labor signs?: still having occasional Braxton Hicks contractions
* Belly button in or out?: In
*Gender: Boy!

* Milestone: bones hardening, baby is getting to be less wrinkled and should be over 17 in long
I know you're close to being done with this but I took Tums for my acid reflux and thought it helped a lot. :) The smoothie flavors are best. :)
