This week baby London is the size of a spaghetti squash. If you ask me, that's getting pretty darn big. He is 8 inches long and he now weighs 1 pound! I have been feeling him move a lot! I am getting pretty excited for the day when Justin will be able to feel him moving, too. It should be happening very soon!
