We have reached the halfway mark! 20ish more weeks and we get to meet our little monkey.
Our baby is now as big as a small cantaloupe and as long as
a banana; weighing in at 9-10 oz and measuring 10 inches from head to their
little toes. This week marks the
time when the baby is measured from head to toe rather than head to rump.
I can really tell that this little one is on the move during the morning… no more sleeping in for this lady once he/she is born.
How I am feeling
I think round ligament pain is here to stay for a
while. Other than that, I don’t
really have any complaints. I’m
sleeping pretty well, but I’m not sure if it is a good deep sleep ever. My emotions are still wacky too.
Physical changes
My belly is starting to pop out even more. Yesterday, I got the first, “When are
you due?” I was a little taken
back and speechless for a minute but it felt good to know that I’m not in that
awkward phase anymore. It was
actually a pretty funny encounter, she had just found out that she was a
getting a nephew and she was on the biggest high and could have talked about it
for hours with us. Babies bring
out the best in almost everyone!
Another change occurring, my boobs are again growing… and
this time it hurts!
I am up a 1/2 pound since last week, which makes my weight gain at +8.5 pounds.
What I’ve been craving
Stone fruits.
Our grocery store finally got in their “first of the season” summer
fruits. I think I was dancing
around once I got home eating the first peach of the year. I guess I know where our grocery budget
will be hit this summer. I’ve also
eaten almost an entire watermelon this week.
