This past week was pretty uneventful.  It was my first week without someone staying with me all day and it actually went really well.  The RS arranged for someone to bring me lunch every day and it was fun to visit with and get to know those ladies a little better.  My dad sent me a few packages to help make things easier slash pass the time. :)  A table {kind of like the tables in the hospital}, a reacher, and Spanish levels 1, 2, and 3 so that I can {re}learn Spanish.  I have my hobby for the next 3 months!  Thanks dad!
We started eating the frozen dinners that my mom made for us and they are YUMMY!  My mom is seriously the bomb.com for making all of those for us.  And it helps Jared out a lot.  Speaking of Jared... he's continued on his path of awesomeness.  Not only does he work his full time job, he makes all my meals, he makes sure I have whatever I need during the day, he does the laundry, washes the dishes and keeps the house clean, on top of helping me with whatever miscellaneous thing I need.  I'm pretty sure I married as close to perfect as you can get. :)

Okay, I'll stop bragging about my awesome husband now...  Here's what's going on with Wyatt this week.

Baby is as big as a papaya

Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
