FYI: I do indeed have other things going on in my life besides being pregnant, I promise! I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to blog about anything besides this weekly update (that I have to squeeze in sometimes!). So sorry if you are getting bored with this... come back in 3 1/2 months! :-)
Fruit/Veggie
Large mango (weight not length)
Size
Over 11 inches head to foot, & over 1 pound
Baby Changes (Source: BabyCenter.com.)
Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing him for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze him when he hears them outside the womb.
Best Moment this Week
We got a couple of the pieces of furniture for his room in yesterday; I'm hoping we'll get to put those together next week sometime. Josh is working on building shelves in the garage for more storage. I also got in a couple of diapers that I had ordered (we are going to cloth diaper... I'll let you get out the whole "you're crazy!" reaction from that side of the computer). So I can't wait to start getting things put together... it's still just in piles right now. Oh ya, & we registered!
Gender
BOY! Elliot James.
Movement
Same old thing - he's a squirmer!
Food Craving
I have about 3 diet Cherry Cokes a week. Yum. I try not to have caffeine every day.
Sleep
I sleep mostly on my sides now, which is just not near as comfortable as on my back. I'm still sleeping, just not comfortably.
What I am looking forward to
Getting his room together... still!
Symptoms
Slight nausea, exhaustion (I asked about it at my appointment & after analyzing all the factors, it's just how I experience pregnancy - tired!), bad lower back pain (not constant, but piercing, & it is worse on some days than others), aversions
