Size: You are the size of an onion this week!!! I have neglected to post your size over the past few weeks. The last time I posted, you were only 2.1 inches at 12 weeks old. 5 weeks later, you are now 5.1 inches! That's almost triple what you were just those few weeks ago! You're bones are hardening now and your fingers officially have your one-of-a-kind fingerprints! You are starting to get some meat on those skinny bones of yours, too. That's what will give you those cute chubby cheeks in just a few months! Last week you started getting eyebrows, eyelashes, and all that baby hair. You can hear my voice now! Good thing you can hear, because your brother keeps screaming into my belly button or my mouth to talk to you and say hello or goodnight. You have grown so much in the past few weeks. It's amazing how fast you have changed!
Weight: 5.9 oz (at my last post 5 weeks ago, you only weighed .49 oz! That's a HUGE change!)

Total weight gain so far: As of last Thursday, I am down by a total of 39 pounds. Still have yet to gain a pound! Eating better and watching my blood sugars have truly done a lot of good for me and for YOU!
Sleep: I'm currently getting up 2-3 times per night to pee, thanks to you! Sleep is okay, but I'm having some crazy dreams!
Symptoms: Nausea is still the primary symptom. I have started throwing up more when I brush my teeth. Most of the time it's just gagging, but this morning, it was all the way! I'm ready to be able to get a good brushing in without having to yak in the middle of it!
Cravings: Fruit, fruit, and more fruit! Sour fruit, actually. Apples, grapes, oranges...not so much bananas. I eat them on cereal, but I'd rather have the other!
Aversions: Not as much as I used to have, but still not a fan of grilled chicken. That seems to be something I just won't get over until you get here.
Best moment of the week: Going to the doctor last week and getting to see you jump on the ultrasound again! The nurse practitioner said she saw all 4 chambers of your heart and everything looked healthy. Praise the Lord for healthy hearts!
Big brother's excitement level: Oh he is getting super excited! Like I mentioned earlier, he is screaming in my belly button and in my mouth thinking that you can hear him. Your ears are working now, so you might be able to hear him. He loves you so much and doesn't even know you yet. He can't wait for you to come out so that he can teach you all kinds of things, hopefully good things!

Movement: I have been feeling you a lot lately! Mostly in the evenings when I'm quiet and lying down. You don't like it when I have my laptop on my belly, like now. You are kicking me to let me know your dissatisfaction!
Gender: Tried to see last week, but the ultrasound machine wasn't clear enough she said. Anatomy scan scheduled on September 12th and we should know then! Everyone still thinks girl...we shall see!
Next doctor appointment: September 12, 2013
