Baby Length: around 6 1/2 inches Head to Bottom or 10 inches Head to Heel
Baby Weight: about 10 1/2 ounces
Baby is as long as: A Banana
Weight gain/loss: Still up 10.2 lbs since pre-pregnancy (130 lbs to 140.2 lbs). Maybe the gaining will slow a bit??
Maternity clothes? Not yet...lets see how long I can hold out before I rip the seams to all of my favorite summer dresses.Stretch marks? Nada
Sleeping? I toss and turn a bit and get up a few times a night, but I feel like I am not getting up as frequently as before. I could sleep 10 hours every night though.
Best moment this week: Hitting halfway! There is some psychological sense of accomplishment is hitting the halfway point. It's still going to be a very long, hot summer, but I feel a sense of comfort that all is well with the little "Nashable".
Miss anything? Being able to walk Sammy without getting out of breath. I was on the phone with a friend Alex walking Sammy last night and I was huffing and puffing walking up a hill like I was on Level 10 on the treadmill. Makes you feel a little pathetic.
Feel any movement? There has been more and more movement this week :) and the baby loves to do its little dances when I'm laying down for bed at the end of the night. I do notice it sometimes during the day if I am sitting still at the table doing work for a while. Sometimes I confuse the baby movement with little stomach rumblings, so I notice it most when I am sitting quietly and focusing on it.
Food cravings: Still not really craving anything. I think it may be time to go out to dinner for steak again. I haven't had red meat in a while.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not feeling sick this week. I am dizzy from time to time, but my nurse thinks its because I'm not drinking enough water.
Gender: The anatomy scan is tomorrow afternoon. I would like to hold out for the surprise, but I've heard it can be hard to avoid the "goods" since the baby moves around quite a bit. I'd like to try if we can!
Labor Signs: None.
Symptoms: Bloated, crampy, and dizziness from time to time. The lower back hasn't been bothering me as much this week.
Belly Button? In
Wedding rings? On but still tight at the end of the day and first thing in the morning.
Happy or Moody? Happy! I do feel some stress and anxiety because of everything that needs to get done in the next 3 months. We own our new house, we close on the house we are selling on Monday, June 18, we rent back from her until around July 20th, then we pack up all of our stuff and put it in storage for a few months while we live in a short tern rental in Virginia Highlands until around September 20. During this time we hopefully do all the demolition, construction and repairs to the new place and get a nursery ready in time for baby Nash's arrival in October. We have never owned an old house, or a house that requires so much "maintenance". We have to have trees taken out and trimmed, find a pool guy, hire a landscaping guy, hire mosquito treatment people...the list goes on and on. The money is draining out of our accounts, but I think the end result will be a wonderful place to settle in and start a family!
