Total weight gain/loss: +16 pounds (I think the pound this week is strictly from the carb overload I partook in after my 3 hr glucose test LOL).
Size: Butternut Squash. He is over 15 inches long and about 2.5 pounds.
Baby Development: His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature and his head is growing bigger to make room for the developing brain. His energy is surging (which I'm definitely feeling ALL day long now) and he's growing in size...he will triple his weight by birth...which also means things are getting kind of cramped in mommy's belly.
Movement: YES! We saw the kicks from the outside a few nights ago for the first time...so amazing...I still can't believe there is something growing inside me!
Food cravings: Nothing new lately.
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 and more tired...otherwise I'm feeling pretty good.
Milestones/Best moment this week: Passing my 3 hour glucose test with flying colors...I do not have gestational diabetes...although fasting for 15+ hours and spending 3 hours in my doctor's office was NOT fun...but at least I know I won't be giving birth to a 16 pound baby (GD can cause larger birth weights in babies if not under control).
