How big is baby? 19 inches, head to toe and 4.5 pounds! (goodness gracious- another half pound and she is officially beyond preemie sizes!)
Total weight gain/loss: Definitely up, but probably only a pound or two.
Maternity clothes? definitely 100% all the time.
Sleep: I'm able to sleep- not dealing with insomnia thank goodness. And we discovered this weekend that I sleep through baby moving (which is a good thing in my book!). I was napping on the couch and Nick had his hand on my belly. Apparently she was kicking so hard he thought I was jolting myself awake! He realized it was her when I stayed deep in peaceful slumber! Now if only I could sleep more hours every day, I'd be in great shape!
Best moment this week: Finishing all of the returns from the showers! We had a number of duplicate items and needed to balance out the clothes a bit (lots and lots of 0-3, which she'll probably outgrow quite quickly).
Movement: Like I said before, she is getting bigger and stronger every day. I no longer feel what I consider "kicks" but instead shoves, and rolls, and big movements. It's odd now- a bit like how your stomach feels when it is really upset with the rolling and boiling type feeling. Took a few days, but I'm starting to get used to it and not feel nauseous from it!
Food cravings: none
Food Aversions: starting to gag again, but nothing in particular. Hopefully this isn't a sign of times to come!
Gender: All girl!
Labor Signs: nothing really particular other than the occasional Braxton Hicks contraction.
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Thinking about anything other than baby stuff. I'm hoping I can be really selfish in my first couple of weeks of maternity leave and do some pampering before baby arrives!
What I am looking forward to: Getting the baby clothes out of the living room and into the baby room!
Weekly Wisdom: Not feeling particularly wise this week. So I guess I'll steal- just remember, take things one day at a time.
Milestones: movement I suppose?
Bump Picture: sorry- no pictures this week! I'll see if I can remember to take one...
