Another bump pic and more crabs!

Daddy Jarbs took this photo this morning before we left for work. I am wearing the kimono dress I got from Tarjay. It's so comfy!!

After work, Daddy Jarbs and I went to Costco to go grocery shopping. I was happy to see the watermelons are back in season! I love watermelons. They are so yummy, not to mention low fat. They are a good snack for Baby Jarbs and myself. I bought TWO huge watermelons :-). When I put the melons in our shopping cart, of course Daddy Jarbs had to say to me "nice melons" lol. It cracks him up every time.

Daddy Jarbs also got dungeness crabs at Costco to cook for our dinner! Marlyland blue crabs are my favorite but Baby Jarbs and I will take whatever kind of crab we can get.

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. His umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes now feature one-of-a-kind prints
