Size: You are the size of a shriveled up 'ole prune this week! Over an inch long. Good thing you don't actually look like a prune. They aren't the most appealing of fruits. Your organs are fully formed and starting to function now. Your arms even have joints now and your bones are starting to form in your tiny little body! You're getting fingernails too, which if you are anything like your brother, I will have to clip every 2 days or you will scratch your own eyes out! You can also swallow and kick now. Oh, you are growing so fast!!!!
Weight: 0.14 oz
Total weight gain so far: None that I can tell. Was down 17 lbs as of my last doctor visit. Will find out more at my next appointment!
Sleep: Your daddy bought me some sleepy time herbal tea that I tried last night and I was asleep within 20 minutes! That might be my new favorite bedtime treasure!
Symptoms: My biggest symptom right now, besides the daily nausea, is the massive mood swings! I think your daddy would agree. I can be find one minute and be angry the next or a blubbering mess! I cried during the ending of a cartoon movie and got mad at the electric people for working on a power line! I have to eat a snack every night before bed to keep my blood sugar down overnight so when I was sleepy last night, your daddy told me to get up and get a snack. I didn't want to, so apparently I cried and begged him not to make me eat. I only vaguely remember this, so I'm not sure how much is true and how much is daddy's exaggeration! Though I suppose it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. I'm a crazy mess lately!
Cravings: Still varies. Still craving the yogurt dip, but wasn't able to find it at Food City! Opted for the French onion instead. That will suffice I suppose! I have also been craving English muffins! Found some whole grain ones that are healthier than the traditional. Just have to be very careful what I eat so my blood sugars stay down and you stay healthy!
Aversions: Ugh, grilled chicken is still the worst! I normally love it, but I haven't eaten it in weeks because I just can't seem to stomach the idea. Randomly, I do have other food aversions. It varies a lot!
Best moment of the week: It's only Tuesday, so I will have to revise this question a bit. How about the thing I am looking most forward to this week? SLEEPING IN! I love my Saturdays where I get to lay around and be lazy! That's the best time of the week for me. I snuggle with your brother and we watch cartoons all day. Can't wait until you can snuggle with us!
Big brother's excitement level: Mostly excited. No more episodes of saying he doesn't think it's a good idea, so that's good. He is convinced he is having a brother, so it should be fun if you come out as a girl! I think he might get the hint if we buy enough pink!
Movement: I have still had a couple of times where I have felt the little bubble flips when I am still and it is quiet. I could be crazy (which if you see earlier in this post, is entirely possible). It may not be you, but I don't see any harm in believing it to be you :) Makes me feel more connected to you!
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
