What\u2019s going on this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your baby’s skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord \u2014 her lifeline to the placenta \u2014 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

**Huh.\u00a0 Short update this week.\u00a0 Guess mostly the baby is just plumping up this week. **<\/p>\n

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

Due Date: November 4, 2011 \u2013 161 days to go!<\/p>\n

Weight Gain: +5 lbs (from pre-preg weight).\u00a0 Still hanging in there!<\/p>\n

Symptoms:\u00a0 I’m tired.\u00a0 Sleepy tired.\u00a0 I am waking up tired and going to sleep exhausted.\u00a0 I hope this is temporary.\u00a0 Maybe my body is making up now for the easy first trimester.<\/p>\n

Cravings\/Aversions: I’m just hungry in general!<\/p>\n

Sleep: Good. I can’t wait to get into bed at night.<\/p>\n

I am loving: Food. And sleep.<\/p>\n

I miss:\u00a0 Not much…<\/p>\n

Movement: Still nothing.\u00a0 But I’m paying close attention.\u00a0 I hope it happens soon.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a: I *still* think it\u2019s a boy.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Just so I can torment you all a little longer.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Exercise: Too tired.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 And it all sounds good.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to: Portland next week!\u00a0 Finding out what this baby is!\u00a0 Getting a sprinkler system installed! It’s all so exciting!<\/p>\n

Belly Shot:<\/p>\n
