Well, I finally see the first sign of a baby bump and I'm loving it! I knew that my skinny jeans were getting a little snug, but for the first time, Trey and I can actually notice a change. From here on out it is grow, baby, grow!
Size of baby: Lemon! Almost 3 1/2" and 1.5 ounces! Growing fast!
Weight gain: Had a doctor's appointment this week and I'm down another pound and a half.
Maternity clothes: Haven't been wearing maternity clothes, but I'm ready for them. Instead, I've been avoiding the tighter pairs of jeans and sticking with dresses, lulus, and other comfy things.
Nursery: The painting is well under way and nearly complete. I've also ordered a few things that should arrive very soon.
Development / Movement: Squishy has doubled in size since last week and can already suck on its thumb and wiggle those little toes. A thin coating of "peach fuzz"-like hair is now covering baby's body to help keep him/her warm.
Sleep: I sleep like a baby (haha). No more afternoon naps, though. My energy is definitely up!
What I miss: Are we back to this again? Wine. Red wine in particular at the moment.
Best moment this week: Hearing baby's heart beat at the doctor's office. It was approximately 160. I also had a great facial, and reconnected with a lovely young lady that I used to babysit over 10 years ago. Lastly, it was my friend Christie's 25th birthday last night, and we had a great time at her parent's place for a backyard BBQ.
Looking forward to: I should say my birthday, since it is on the 19th, but for the first time, I'm not that excited for it. I just want a quiet birthday celebration with some close friends and my hubby. I am looking forward to a busy week ahead - some new design work coming, a few more friends' birthdays, and an ultrasound appointment on Thursday (I LOVE seeing baby on the screen)!
Cravings: Food in general is a lot more appealing to me as my appetite slowly returns. I've baked some homemade oatmeal, brown sugar, coconut chewy cookies that are pretty much to die for.
Symptoms: Bigger boobs (yeahhhh, seriously!). Otherwise I feel normal.
Workouts: I'm doing about 2-3 workouts a week and in between just walking.
