What's baby up to this week? He/she is the size of a pea pod, almost three inches long and weighs nearly an ounce. Fingerprints have formed on his/her fingertips and veins/organs are clearly visible under the still thin skin. The body is starting to catch up to the over sized head with makes up about a third of his/her body.
What's been going on with mom? Mom has been feeling better....aside from finding things to eat...more on that later. I have been feeling less anxious about things, but I think all that will completely melt away once baby starts moving. I have been working a lot so it keeps my mind off it. Last week we went to the cat reserve with Emma and it was so fun to watch her be so excited about the "kitties" and the "birds." Post to come. She also is not too sure about this photo project. She just wants to run around outside and doesn't understand why she has to hold this thing and stand still. I am holding out hope that we will get a smile one day!
Symptoms: Sleep has been great! Finally! Although the sweating has returned due to a large heat wave. The blanket may be coming off the bed sooner rather than later. Nausea still rears it's head when I eat the wrong things. Constipation is very much a prevalent part of my life right now!
Yummy/Icky: Ok.....I am having a rough go at finding things to eat. Nothing sounds appetizing, I literally mean NOTHING. I can't have anything with red tomato sauce (pasta, pizza....etc) or else I suffer from horrible tummy aches and the same goes for anything greasy. Sandwiches sound halfway decent, but they have to be cold cuts.....salami....you know....the bad stuff. Fruit is also very appetizing. Watermelon, cherries, grapes....anything with a high water content. But I cannot survive on fruit and salami. OR can I? Pasta salads are looking up on the menu and I have been scouring pinterest for new recipes as I am sick of everything!
Clothing: Ah...yes. We have reached the part of the process where everything is strangling me, but I am holding out on pulling out the maternity wear. I know I am going to have to update the wardrobe because all of my stuff with Emma was spring time and we are heading into the dead of summer and fall is just as bad as summer here so I need to add to the clothing. Any suggestions would be helpful!
Movement: I think I may be feeling some movement. Little tapping, or like fluttering paper down low in my abdomen. We shall see if it continues. I have felt it for a couple of weeks now and am pretty sure it's baby.
Followed along with Emma? Let's take a trip down memory lane to 13 weeks with her!
