Size: You are the size of a green olive this week! Almost an inch long. You are actually starting to look more like a baby this week. Your features are starting to develop and the biggest news this week? You are now considered a fetus instead of just an embryo! Go, fetus! Of course to me, you are just my baby :) Your heartbeat continues to grow stronger every day!
Weight: 0.07 oz
Total weight gain so far: Still none! I was actually down 17 lbs as of my last appointment on June 26!
Sleep: Sleeping better, just still not enough! I'm tired most of the time and fall asleep just about anywhere. My back seems to be hurting more than normal. Of course, that could be from all the coughing that the hormone supplements are causing!
Symptoms: Nausea is actually a lot better! I gag on occasion and brushing my teeth is still a challenge. I feel sorry for your daddy because he's the one that has to live with me! Still cold all the time. I have to carry a blanket with me almost everywhere I go! The heartburn is still raging! I take my "candy" with me everywhere I go (a.k.a. Tums).
Cravings: This varies widely!!! This week, I have begun craving a new greek yogurt herb ranch dip! That is thanks to my husband's aunt turning me onto it. I still crave fruit from time to time, but lately I have been wanting more sweets. That is a NO NO!!!!! I have to watch my blood sugar so that you stay healthy, so if I eat sweets, it is in major moderation.
Aversions: This isn't quite as bad as it was, but again it depends on the time of day and how I'm feeling. My biggest aversion is grilled chicken, which is the same as it was when I was pregnant with your big brother.
Best moment of the week: Taking big brother to see Despicable Me 2! He has been waiting for over a year to see it, so I was excited to make it happen. He LOVED it!
Big brother's excitement level: Still excited mostly, but once this week said he thinks having a baby brother or sister "isn't such a good idea." We got to go see fireworks with my best friend Jamie on Saturday and he got to see a little baby, so I think he enjoyed playing with her and practicing with a baby!
Movement: Everyone everywhere says it's too early for that, which I believe for the most part, but I have felt tiny gas bubbles on occasion that I SWEAR feel like it felt when I first noticed your brother move! I'm thinking it will still be 4 or more weeks before I can be sure that it's you in there :)
Gender: Hoping to find out sometime towards the end of August through mid-September! I know they can usually tell between 16-20 weeks!
Next doctor appointment: July 18, 2013
