Total weight gain: I gained & then actually lost 1.5 pounds this week (no idea how) so I think I'm still around 10 pounds gained.
How big is baby?: About the size of a banana or carrot (about 12-13 ounces & 10.5 inches long).
Maternity clothes?: Most days yes, but I do have some regular clothes that work...
Stretch marks?: Still no new ones that I can tell.
Sleep?: Eh, about the same. I wake up a few times at night.
Best moment this week?: Buying Owen's coming home outfit & first blanky. :)
Movement?: Yup, he's a wiggler!
Food cravings?: Nope. No cravings really.
Labor signs?: Nope. I might feel an occasional Braxton Hicks, but they are few & far between.
Belly button in or out?: Still in. Probably will stay that way too.
What I miss: Not really sure... Sleeping through the whole night??
What I'm looking forward to: Shopping for Owen. I have a feeling that nesting will hit early and I am anal about being prepared. Moving with a baby a few weeks old with everything in boxes will flip my insanity switch!!
Weekly Wisdom: After my bout with a little bit of gender shock/disappointment that at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I'm just grateful he's happy & healthy. The disappointment is temporary...loving your child is always and forever. At the same time, preggo hormones make us run the gamut of emotions and it's okay to feel whatever you are feeling. No one should make you feel bad for crying over anything, even if it's just for a minute.
Milestone: Baby's eyebrows & lids are present now & movements will change to full-fledged kicks & nudges.
