That's right our baby boy is a banana! He is now 10.5 inches and 12.7 ounces but I have gained more than that! The baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, for hydration, nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, my baby is going to love fruit (especially strawberries), chocolate, ice cream and spicy foods like jalapenos (sorry honey).
Total weight gain/loss: More than I care to admit publicly.
Maternity clothes? Definitly though I do have one pair of jeans that I fit into comfortably that is not maternity.
Stretch marks? None yet (knocking on wood).
Sleep: We slept well this week though Eveln has been sick the last few nights waking us up. Poor girl!
Best moment this week: Ultrasound Thursday (It's a BOY!)
Movement: More and more though no real pattern yet.
Food cravings: None though I will eat whatever you put in front of me no matter how much it is.
Symptoms: None!
Gender: BOY!
Labor Signs: Not Yet!
Belly Button in or out? Still in.
What I miss: Exercising - Not that I can't now I dropped my gym because I hated it so the only exercise I get is walking with Evelyn I miss my cardio machines and weights.
What I am looking forward to: Having Evelyn feel the baby move for the first time :) kind of hope I get it on video!
