Baby is the size of a: Honeydew melon! He is about 18 inches long and weighs between 5-6 lbs. We got an almost full sized baby in there!
Maternity clothes: My husband got a large t-shirt in the mail from his seminary. He said it was too big for him so he gave it to me. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? So now I have a new lounging around shirt to wear!
Food cravings: Not this week!
Anything make you queasy or sick: We had a Digornio pizza for dinner the other night. I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible, burning reflux! The next day I had some leftovers for lunch and I had reflux again and an upset stomach. I am NOT eating that pizza again.
Miss anything: Being able to move around quickly and comfortably. I was also looking in the mirror the other night and I was trying to remember what my body looked like pre-bump. It's funny how you quickly forget. It's like I've had this bump on me for years.
Boy or Girl: Handsome little man!
Movement: He has been very active this week, particularly today! I still love feeling his kicks and squirms and seeing my stomach go lopsided or having little knots poke out. For the most part he is letting me sleep through the night, besides bathroom breaks. I may just be too exhausted from the day that I don't feel him move at night.
Best moment this week: We had another snow day again today! And with taking Friday off to go up to Ohio, I only had to work 3 days this week. Well I still worked today, but not having kids is like a day off.
Worst moment this week: Seeing my husband on average for only an hour or less a day. He finishes his 2nd semester of seminary on Friday. 2/3 of the way done! I am excited to actually have an 8 hour car ride, just so that I can be with him for a long period of time.
How have I been feeling: Tired and big. Otherwise, very happy and excited! I've been reading up on labor and delivery and taking care of a newborn. Although I am still nervous and a little scared, I am feeling more prepared. I am definitely ready and excited to meet this little guy!
