Size of baby: Squishy is as big as a mango! 6" long and 8 1/2 ounces!
Weight gain: I just weighed myself and was horrified. I'm gaining steadily, that's for sure! I am now up about 6 lbs over my original weight.
Maternity clothes: There was a sale on asos.com this week and I purchased a few new maternity dresses, since dressing up seems to be my trouble spot. I don't think anything will arrive before my trip home, so I may have to wear something I already have for the baby shower. Thankfully I have something in mind.
Nursery: Trey is off next week before he starts his new job and he has been amazing. He wants to get all of the rest of the little jobs done in the nursery that I need him to do (the ones that involve drilling, filling holes, lifting heavy things, and so on. I grabbed a few things that we needed, so it should go smoothly next week. I'll have to post some photos in a few weeks once it gets cleaned up and organized!
Development / Movement: Baby is developing a protective coating over his/her skin and is developing the five senses. The 20-week ultrasound is coming up, and they should be able to determine baby's gender... but we will be asking them not to tell us. Are we crazy? I love that we are keeping it a surprise.
Sleep: I'm getting used to my little "cocoon", as Trey calls it. I'm sleeping better and have been getting lots done during the day.
What I miss: My former weight (haha). My body doesn't seem to be changing much composition-wise aside from my belly, but I certainly am getting bigger and rounder.
Best moment this week: I was pretty busy this week working on a large design project that I have going. I had another amazing facial, and a good chat with my sister for her birthday. I also did a few Bar Method classes, so that was fun.
Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery next week and completing my big design project are two big ones. Today is also the Stu Bell Charity Classic golf tournament. Trey is playing in it and I'm spending my day with Anita and Linden - then we will head up for the reception. My business, Design Project is sponsoring the event and donating art for the silent auction. I know my friends have been really working hard at making it happen (Renee, Stu, and Christie who is working as their event planner). We leave on the 23rd to visit our families in Indianapolis and Toronto, so we're really looking forward to that trip.
Cravings: Same kinds of things as usual. Nothing new.
Symptoms: Headaches. I am prone to headaches anyway, but I seem to get them a little more often in pregnancy.
Workouts: Bar Method is awesome. I have a busy week next week, so I don't know how many times I will be able to go, but I'm loving it. Burn, baby, burn!
