Yes an eggplant again. He is not growing a lot length wise but there is still plenty going on! He is now about 9.6 inches from crown to rump and weighs a little more than 2 pounds. His hands are active and muscle coordination is such that he can get his thumb into his mouth. Thumb-sucking calms the baby and strengthens his cheek and jaw muscles. He can cry now, too. You may see stretch marks as your uterus continues to expand. Balance and mobility also may be changing as you grow larger.
Total weight gain/loss: Yup gaining weight *Whistle*
Maternity clothes? Yup got some new stuff from a co-worker though She is a little shorter than me and well a little bigger so I'm not sure if it will fit or not. Still haven't tried it on.
Stretch marks? no change here.
Sleep: Doing ok as long as I don't drink too much water at night.
Best moment this week:
Movement: Holy cow he's hit my ribs already....
Food cravings: chocolate, waffle cones and soft serve icecream (I've avoided two of three and am doing better on my diet - mostly)
Symptoms: Hip pain when sitting for too long, small bladder syndrome, irrational mood and no control over my appetite. But the leg cramping went away for the week!
Gender: Male :)
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? What belly button?
What I miss: Not getting the side eye when I do stuff that I want.
What I am looking forward to: Evelyn feeling her brother move and her reaction!
Weekly Wisdom: Exercise is as important as oxygen.
Milestones: getting to the third trimester :) Even by teh most conservative sources I am in the home stretch!
