Half Baked!

Belly bump was taken last night on J's camera so it will be uploaded ASAP!

That's right at 6.5 inches and 10.6 ounces our baby is the length of a cantaloupe and officially half baked!. This week Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells) Yummy! This will fill the first diaper after birth (and what a great diaper it is to look forward to!). And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed! That's right Thursday at the ultrasound we are hoping to get a glimpse of the goods to tell us what gender our baby is!

Total weight gain/loss: 19 lbs - yes already that's 1 lb per week! I think I need to stem my cravings a bit.

Maternity clothes? Definitely!

Stretch marks? None that I have seen so far (fingers crossed!)

Sleep:Wake once or twice to go potty most nights but not consistently yet.

Best moment this week: Jason feeling the baby move on Thursday! Also me seeing the baby kick my stomach during the weekly meeting yesterday. (We have one strong baby)

Movement: Getting more frequent but still not enough for me to know his/her schedule yet.

Food cravings: Ice cream and soft pretzels with natcho cheese sause - no not at the same time ;)

Symptoms: None!

Gender: Unknown but the big ultrasound is this Thursday!

Labor Signs: Not for a while yet!

Belly Button in or out? Still in.

What I miss:

What I am looking forward to: Surprisingly enough I've been looking forward to delivery (though I hope it is a long time off!). I have even been reading birthing stories again.

Weekly Wisdom: Time flies try to make the most of it!

Milestones: Jason felt the baby move on Thursday night!
