Size of Baby: This week we’re about the size of an avocado. At my ultrasound Friday the tech said she was 11+ centimeters, which is between 4-5 inches.
Gender: It’s a girl! Gender reveal recap here. Genuinely don’t know if I have ever
been more excited about anything in my entire life. I am still floating on
cloud nine over this news.
Weight Gain: 6 pounds.
Feeling:
Better. Still tired, but I experienced very little nausea this
week. Hopefully that trend continues. Unfortunately, I’ve started sobbing at
the drop of a dime these days. Hello hormones.
Maternity Clothes: It’s getting harder and harder to fit into regular
pants, but I can still make low rise normal pants work if I need to. Definitely
going to have to go out and get a few more maternity tank tops soon.
Nursery: I have done so much planning in this department already. Now that we know
the gender, we can actually make decisions and purchases, and that’s a great
feeling. Most of my ideas are on my nursery pin board. First official step will
be picking paint colors. I plan to go out and get some pink and gray samples
this weekend.
One thing I cannot
stop thinking about is this cubby storage system from Pottery Barn. I really
didn’t plan on buying anything this pricey for someone who won’t know the
difference between a nice bookshelf and a pile of plywood for many years to come,
but I just fell in love with it. I can just imagine all of her little blankets
and books filling the shelves, and can’t let go. I’m just hoping it’s not too
big for our nursery.
Movement: Still not 100% sure on this one. I’m pretty sure I’ve felt some flutters
here and there, but it’s hard to tell what’s what with so much going on.
Symptoms: Back and neck pain. Belly button getting more and more shallow.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty good, and getting as much of it as I can.
Cravings: Nothing of note.
What I Miss: Friday we were with friends, and I definitely could
have gone for some of the champagne everyone was drinking. All in good time!
Best Moment This Week: The gender reveal, and doing a little bit of baby
girl clothes shopping.
Looking Forward To: Decorating the nursery. Not having any plans this
coming weekend.
Thankful

far been a healthy pregnancy.
