Total weight gain/loss: +14 pounds
Size: Head of Cauliflower or Eggplant. He is 14.5 inches long and about 2 pounds.
Baby Development: He is sleeping and waking at regular intervals now, opening and closing his little eyes. He might be sucking on his thumb too (awww!). More brain tissue is developing and his brain is very active now. He might also start developing hiccups from here on out, which I will feel now too.
Movement: YES!
Food cravings: Nothing new lately...it's been a pretty boring pregnancy for both cravings and aversions. No pickles and ice cream for this lady (although I still love both, just prefer them separately ;).
Food aversions: None.
What I miss: Jimmy John's, alcohol, my jeans (haven't bought maternity ones since I doubt I'll wear them much this summer)
How I'm feeling: I'm getting more tired now...normal activities are starting wear me out a little more, especially when it's hot out. My back is starting to feel the extra weight I've put on...and bending down is not as easy anymore either.
Milestones/Best moment this week: The crib & mattress arriving! We plan to paint the nursery next weekend, then it will be time to move the bed downstairs and set this thing up...Joe can hardly stand it anymore, he just wants to put it together. Pumpkin seed is also reacting when Joe talks to my belly, it's almost like he's saying "Dad, I can hear you!" We haven't seen outside movement yet but we've felt it. Also the ADORABLE pumpkin hat I bought arrived yesterday too...it's bigger than I had pictured it in my head...can't believe something that size is going to come out of me soon, yikes!
