week: twenty eight
fruit size of baby: eggplant
cravings: cinnamon french toast, oreo shakes, fresh pears, blueberries, apples, fruit smoothies, basically anything fruity and refreshing.
aversions: the smell of andrew's deodorant and caesar salad.
weight gain: 19.5 lbs
exercise: back to walking two times a day on my breaks at work, bought a pregnancy yoga dvd that i started, and went ice skating on friday night
sleep: waking up a few times each night to re-adjust. i've learned that the earlier i go to bed and the more active i am throughout the day, the better i sleep at night.
belly: always growing. feels tight lately and baby girl's movements are getting bigger as there is less room for her to move. still no stretch marks and belly button is officially starting to poke out.
clothes: maternity pants and shirts for work and sweatpants as soon as i get home.
movement: loves to move in the am, after lunch in the early afternoon, and at night after dinner. andrew loves to play with her, he'll poke my belly and she will poke back and we can feel limbs. kind of crazy!
gender: we are having a baby girl! that reality is starting to feel more real!
names: we have a list. haven't added any new names lately, but also haven't talked about names in awhile.
worries: passing my glucose test, and making it to my due date. i feel like everyone is giving birth early lately.
what i love: feeling baby girl's movements lately and andrew reading to her at night.
what i am looking forward to: upcoming weddings, and my baby showers people are throwing for baby girl.
milestones: making it to the third trimester! twelve more weeks to go!
best moment of the week:
amusing comments from the general public: haven't really had any amusing comments, but people are starting to touch my belly! its fun when she moves for people. i like seeing the reactions.
baby mama drama: learning which friends are fully supportive of us in this life change and which aren't
