Size of baby: According to babycenter.com the baby is about the size of an English Hothouse Cucumber. *Really they couldn't think of anything else to compare it to? What is that anyway?*
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +18 pounds approximately honestly i haven't weighed this week because if always upsets me.
Maternity Clothes: I would say minus the occasional shirt i am in full on maternity wear at this point. Gender: Boy
Movement: Lots and lots of movement throughout the day and night especially after i eat something sweet
What I miss: Just being able to move around without being short of breath
Sleep: Better. Still waking up to pee 2-3 times but in between pee breaks I sleep well.
Symptoms: Lots of backaches and overall discomfort towards the end of the day. By 9 p.m. i am just laid up on the couch until bed time.
Cravings: breakfast. I don't know why but all i can think about lately is french toast and pancakes and bacon.
Best Moment this week: This isn't pregnancy related but watching my Texans beat the Atlanta falcons last Sunday and inching closer to a playoff run.
What I am looking forward to: our maternity photo shoot on Saturday. I am praying that the weather will be nice and that all of my boys will cooperate.... :)
