What’s going on this week:
Your baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she’s around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
**Huh. Short update this week. Guess mostly the baby is just plumping up this week. **
My Update:
Due Date: November 4, 2011 – 161 days to go!
Weight Gain: +5 lbs (from pre-preg weight). Still hanging in there!
Symptoms: I’m tired. Sleepy tired. I am waking up tired and going to sleep exhausted. I hope this is temporary. Maybe my body is making up now for the easy first trimester.
Cravings/Aversions: I’m just hungry in general!
Sleep: Good. I can’t wait to get into bed at night.
I am loving: Food. And sleep.
I miss: Not much…
Movement: Still nothing. But I’m paying close attention. I hope it happens soon.
It’s a: I *still* think it’s a boy. About 1 week till we can find out, but I don’t think we will announce ahead of time what day we are going to go find out. Just so I can torment you all a little longer. 😉
Exercise: Too tired. I skipped going back to yoga this week because I was too afraid I would fall asleep during some of the more relaxing poses, but I did go to Pilates yesterday.
Diet: Not bad…before every meal, when I’m feeling hungry, my brain runs through this slideshow of every possible (and impossible) meal I could have. And it all sounds good.
Looking forward to: Portland next week! Finding out what this baby is! Getting a sprinkler system installed! It’s all so exciting!
