Size of baby: Almost 18 inches and around 4.5 lbs - the size of a cantaloupe according to The Bump and a butternut squash according to BabyCenter.
Best moment of the week: Mother's Day is the obvious answer, right? ;) Aside from the cold weather we had a really nice day. We had my mom and brother over for brunch and ate way too much yummy food! I got to do a little relaxing, well, a lot if you compare it to any other day! But we were still able to get things done around the house. It was also really nice to soak in some quality time with my first born. Noelle had really good behavior that day too, which made things so much easier. We have been having some major attitude and tantrum issues lately and I can hardly blame her given the upheaval of our schedules and our house as of late. We keep promising her all of the projects will be done soon and are each trying to spend as much time with her as possible. Unfortunately we have been relying too much on screen babysitters in order to get work done around the house.
Cravings/Aversions: Fruit, fruit and more fruit!
What I love: Being in the single digits of weeks to go! Also on a weekly doctor appointment schedule!
What I'm looking forward to: Bryan's graduation this Sunday! Even though he's been done since the end of January, Bryan's graduation ceremony happens according to the typical graduation schedule. His family is coming into town and we are having a small party after the ceremony. This is the last major event before baby so it will be nice to refocus our efforts a bit once this is done.
Worries: No names, no daycare set up, no rooms ready...no big deal!! Pretty sure we had everything done months before Noelle was born. Well, probably not. But weeks before for sure.
What is different this time around: Just about everything!
Symptoms: The heartburn has kicked in with a vengeance. I woke up at about midnight one night this week and thought I was going to die if I didn't sit up and have some Tums ASAP! Hopefully the old wives' tale holds true and this baby will have a head full of gorgeous hair like Noelle did! I've also been incredibly tired this week. I really need some nesting energy to kick in soon to help get things done. I definitely was not feeling this "over it" this early with Noelle.
Sleep: Aside from the random heartburn attacks some nights, I've been so tired that I've slept really well.
Boy or Girl: Hoping for a boy because then we'd at least have more of an idea for a name than if its a girl! Ugh - we just can't get a list if names together to save our lives. Nothing is standing out and if one does, one of us doesn't usually like it. Right now my goal is to have a list of a few names for each gender and pick one within 6 hours of the baby being born. That shouldn't be too difficult, right? Right?!
The belly: Getting bigger and bigger! Baby is definitely running out of room. There is lots of rolling movement and I can feel when the baby stretches because I feel simultaneous pushing in my rib area and my pelvic bone area.
Movement: Lots of rolling and "smaller" movements.
Milestones: Everything continues to mature and baby's body is getting more and more ready for the real world!
Weight gain/loss: Currently at plus 17.
