• Total weight gain/loss: will find out in less than a week-crossing fingers is not much.
• Maternity clothes: none, just the BeBand to wear with some of the jeans that I am still able to pull up. Just went shopping though--got a few cute non-maternity sun dresses =) Now just need some nice warm weather for me to start rocking them out.
• Stretch marks: None and no itching at all. I'll soon go through my first tube of cocoa butter.
• Sleep: A bit uncomfortable still but not a big deal
• Best moment this week: Saturday night, I felt baby move, not kidding! It kept moving and moving around, felt it at least 5 times.
• Movement: This past Saturday, felt like a little worm was swimming in my belly lol it may have been a kick but i'm unsure how those feel from tiny feet.
• Food cravings: Oranges, lots of them
• Gender: Baby gender scan in 3 weeks!
• Labor signs: Ha! not even close...164 days to go!
• Belly button in or out? Still in!
• What I miss: Besides sleeping well through the night, nothing else really--I wouldn't change a thing for this baby!
• What I am looking forward to: Next week's appointment can't come fast enough, just a few days!
• Weekly Wisdom: Lay OFF the gassy foods, for the sake of all those that surround me...lol
• Milestones: 17 Week Mark! 23 weeks, 164 days, 3,936 hours to delivery!!!
• What is the baby up to? Besides being very mobile, my baby's skeleton is changing from soft, rubbery cartilage to bone, my baby is also able to hear things now and the umbilical cord (my baby's lifeline to the placenta) is growing stronger and thicker. My baby weighs about 5 ounces now and is around 5.1 inches long from head to bottom. Though my baby at this point in time is primarily made up of water, in the next few weeks he/she will be putting on some layers of fat. The fat begins to deposit under his/her skin and is important for heat production and metabolism.
My baby can move his/her joints, and his/her sweat glands are starting to develop and his/her little fingers and toes are now topped with one-of-a-kind print!
My belly measures 34"!
