Waist measurement: 44 inches
Total weight gain/loss: up 1 lb. 196.0lbs. Should make the dr happy also! I'm gaining a baby belly!
How much does Baby weigh?: about 13 oz (how accurate is TheBump?)
Maternity clothes? but of course!
Stretch marks? same ones. possibly some new ones on my sides
Sleep: still napping, gets kind of hard to get comfy while situating the belly. Wondering how its going to be later on when I'm bigger...
Best moment this week: shocking so many people at the wedding...Heidi's reaction was PRICELESS! "Oh! Goose! Its been SO long! Obviously things are...um, changing and growing!" while her jaw about hit the floor.
Movement: Fairly active. He likes to kick during work a lot.
Food cravings: milk, orange soda, and lots of fresh fruit (chocolate too now) cutting back on salt to help with the MAJOR swelling I've been having. It all hit at once too.
Gender: I was right! Its a BOY!
Labor Signs: No, just cramps
Belly Button in or out? in, but getting shallower!
What I miss: walking up stairs without losing my breath, wearing certain jeans, sleeping like a log
What I am looking forward to: the u/s next time to confirm gender and to make sure he's growing like he should. The 27th can't come quick enough!
Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.
By the end of this week, he'll measure about 7 inches from crown to rump and weigh nearly a pound. Not bad for a little guy who weighed barely an ounce 10 weeks ago! His hearing is developing, and sounds from your conversations can be heard inside the uterus--along with your heartbeat, stomach rumblings, and the pulsing of blood vessels. In fact, the womb is so noisy that it's been compared to an airport runway during takeoff; it's thought that the stimuli prepare the baby for the cacophony of noises, sights, and sounds that will greet him at birth.
