What am I looking forward to.... Moving into our new house. It probably won't be for another week and a half BUT once we get the carpets cleaned, which is Friday, we'll start slowly moving things in. Woohooo!
Any weight gain yet? Well, I think I finally gained a pound as of this morning at least. I can handle 1 pound in 14 weeks.
How big is baby?... The size of a lemon! Now, last week it was a peach. Aren't peaches bigger than lemons???
Anyways....
This week's big developments: Our baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
Sleep?... This week I've slept better than I've ever slept in my life. With all the house repairs, we've been going, going, going and then I crash the second my head hits the pillow.
Emotions... Well, nothing to report here. Anyways....

Health... Great! YAY...no sickness regardless of all the sick, hacking women around me at work. They all need to go home and cough on their own damn family.
Cravings... Pizza bagels. haha So, I caved and made them tonight on multigrain english muffins so they were a bit more healthy than a bagel.
Food Aversions... Well, meat is no longer an issue. Woohoo!! But, there's still a lot I don't want, for instance, chocolate. Ok, now if you really know me, you know that I LOOOOVE chocolate so this is very weird for me. Veggies and fruit are great though....very different but probably why I've only gained 1 pound.
New sensation.... nothing yet. Still no movement but that should start in maybe 2 weeks or so.
Next appointment... November 29th but I think I'm going to cancel that and start the group classes. Those start November 15th so Daddy A will have to miss the first one since he has class. BOO!
Alright, here are my new pictures.
Alright, here are my new pictures.
Now, here are a few from the previous months...
I think you can officially call that a baby bump!
