Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of a large heirloom tomato
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +10 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: still maternity pants and mostly regular shirts. you got to love that maternity looking shirts are so in style right now....lol
Gender: Friday is the BIG day!!! to comfirm for sure that we are having a boy
Movement: Pretty regularly I've started feeling little "taps" in my lower abdomen, or like a gentle pulsing feeling. It's so cool.
What I miss: not making grunting sounds everytime i have to bend down to do something.
Sleep: Pretty good this week, even though I still get up 2-3 times a night to pee I'm able to fall back asleep pretty fast.
Symptoms: My belly button seems to be flattening out more and more everyday. I have had some round ligament pain this week.
Cravings: Still sweets and salads. I have a serious aversion to the smell of fish right now.
Best Moment this week: Feeling those little taps, I think the movement is going to start picking up more and more.
What I am looking forward to: Getting to see the baby again on Friday adn finishing putting the rest of the furniture together in his room.
