What’s going on this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1\/2 inches. Her weight \u2014 a pound and a half \u2014 isn’t much more than an average rutabaga, but she’s beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. As she does, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she’ll start to look more and more like a newborn. She’s also growing more hair \u2014 and if you could see it, you’d now be able to discern its color and texture.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Update: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Due Date: November 4, 2011 \u2013 105 days to go!<\/p>\n

Weight Gain: +11 lbs (from pre-preg weight).<\/p>\n

Symptoms:\u00a0 Nothing new this week.\u00a0 Magnesium supplement has helped the leg cramps, so I’m back to sleeping great!<\/p>\n

Cravings\/Aversions: Still nothing…I don’t think I’m going to develop any dramatic aversions or anything this pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Sleep:\u00a0 Still good!<\/p>\n

I am loving:\u00a0 Fun visiting with sisters, and nieces!\u00a0 Lisa, Ada, Ali and Grace are all here and yesterday we shopped and shopped.\u00a0 Today we’re slated for some pool time!\u00a0 Josh arrives tonight so the fun continues!<\/p>\n

I miss:\u00a0 Winter?\u00a0 Less than 100 degree days?<\/p>\n

Movement:\u00a0 The movement continues…it’s starting to be more and more noticeable where the baby is in my belly.\u00a0 He seems to like hanging out on my right side, so it’s staying a little lopsided depending on where he is at the moment.\u00a0 It’s neat to be able to push on the belly and actually feel<\/em> something in there!<\/p>\n

<\/em> Nursery progress:\u00a0 No real change, except that now there is a bassinet and cradle and in-bed sleeper in there (courtesy of Ali and Meredith) and lots more baby clothes (courtesy of Lisa and Mom.)\u00a0 The cradle is one that my Dad made back when Meredith was born, and we are passing it through the family as babies are born.\u00a0 It’s getting some good use.<\/p>\n

Exercise: Nothing.\u00a0 It was a really long busy week at work and I missed both Pilates and Yoga.\u00a0 Only a couple more weeks till I’m down to part time and working from home, so these last weeks in the office are going go stay really hectic while I’m doing training and trying to clear up any old loose ends.\u00a0 (This is my exact same update from last week and it still applies, so I’m leaving it here.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking forward to: Swimming today and the wedding on Saturday.\u00a0 And then my next midwife appointment on Tuesday.\u00a0 (I think this is the last ‘monthly’ appointment and after this one I start going every 2 weeks.\u00a0 EEEk!<\/p>\n

Belly Shot: (I can really notice some growth in the last couple of weeks.\u00a0 getting bigger!)<\/p>\n
