Size of baby: A bit over 17 inches and a little more than 4 lbs - the size of a durian (crazy looking prickly fruit) according to The Bump and a pineapple according to BabyCenter.
Best moment of the week: Crossing off a major non-home project! Time to concentrate in the important stuff!
Cravings/Aversions: Anything cold - I seem have to have dry mouth going on or something!
What I love: Being in the single digits of weeks to go!
What I'm looking forward to: Mother's Day, of course! Putting a list of names together would be nice ;)
Worries: Just the stress stemming from our never-ending pre-baby to-do list, not having even a good list of names picked out and also being convinced (for no reason whatsoever) that this baby will not be enjoying a full 40 week stay.
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! Can you tell I'm a little worked up about the name thing??
The belly: Getting bigger and bigger! Baby is definitely running out if 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: Baby's skeleton continues to harden and he keeps his eyes open when awake. Baby is also working on coordinating breathing with sucking an swallowing.
Weight gain/loss: Currently at plus 15. Finally had a healthy weight gain since last appointment.
Feeling ha-yuge in this picture!!
