Baby's size? Bean is the size of a lemon! About 3 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 ounces.
Weight Gain? Still down about 3lbs.
Maternity clothes? Finally got my Belly Band and am in love with it. Can’t button my pants anymore and don’t want to buy new ones just yet.
Stretch marks? No.
Belly button in or out? Still in.
Sleep? Sleep is my new favorite hobby. Along with getting up to pee twice a night.
Foods I am loving? Oranges and Pickles
Foods I am hating? Meat!!!
Best moment this week? Going away for the weekend and relaxing.
Movement? None yet that I can feel yet. I can't wait!!
Symptoms? My nose has been stuffy a lot and the longer it lasts the more.
My sense of smell is still unreal. I will smell things that those around me can't even smell.
The trips to the bathroom to pee have slowed down a little.
My boobs are still sore, but they have been really been horrible. They just feel fuller.
And the dreams...oh the dreams! :)
Gender? Still thinking it's a girl. But I have moments where I think it could be a boy.
What I miss? What I miss is nothing in comparison to being pregnant. :)
What I'm looking forward to? Finding out Bean’s gender AND feeling movement!!
Milestones: Being in my 2nd trimester!! Woot Woot!
Emotions: This was a hard week. I had a funeral to attend and pregnancy hormones and funerals do not mix well. Pretty much everything makes me cry these days It doesn’t take much to set me off. Let’s just say the guy at the Madras Taco Time got an ear full yesterday when he didn’t have the hot sauce I wanted. LOL
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
