At 8.8 inches from crown to rump and 1.5 pounds our baby boy is an eggplant. His skin is now becoming opaque instead of transparent. His body is still covered with folds of skin like a puppy that need to grow into its skin and the formation of tiny capillaries is giving baby a healthy pink glow. He is also soaking up my antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those cute little eye lashes.
Total weight gain/loss: Lots I'm in denial at this point though I am doing better at controlling my sweets. And now that the birthday celebrations are over there will be no more cakes for me to pig out on.
Maternity clothes? Yes and I am starting to remember why I don't like maternity jeans. As I keep hiking them up when I stand up sigh.
Stretch marks? Still only a few on my outer thigh.
Sleep: ROFL what is this? I had been getting cramping in the middle of the night which was helped by heat (throwing on the comforter) and maybe the addition of more banana to my diet.
Best moment this week: Celebrating with Sarah!
Movement: getting stronger and more regular. He has already given me a few good kicks. I'm going to have to get a video!
Food cravings: Chocolate with almonds. (Thanks Sarah!)
Symptoms: Leg cramps at night, Shrinking bladder syndrome ;), some cramping with walking but I think it is because I am out of shape and mood swings/bad mood.
Gender: Do I have to answer this again I swear it has not changed.
Labor Signs: none
Belly Button in or out? I have no belly button...
What I miss: Sleeping past 3:30 am and not waking to pee.
What I am looking forward to: Oddly enough I'm looking forward to breastfeeding again (minus the mastitis) it was a very relaxing and bonding experience for me and Evelyn.
Weekly Wisdom: There is a good reason that people believe pregnant women are tempermental and have mood swings. Please treat them accordingly.
Milestones: another week gone...
