This week...
Baby Bell is the size of a... avacado! Yum! The baby is about four and a half inches long and about three and a half ounces.
My bump is... still growing! Some days it "feels" bigger than it does on other days - probably dependent on what I am wearing. I also feel like my belly button looks weird. I already had an "outie" and it seems to be becoming even more of an "outie" - if that makes any sense. In the last two weeks, I’ve
had to say goodbye almost all of my jeans, but there is one pair that I can still make fit with a belly band. Luckily it is summer, which means it is the season of summer dresses - perfect for a growing bump!
I have been feeling... off and on. There are some days that I am feeling great and other days that I go back to feeling sick. I am told that this pattern may just continue throughout the pregnancy. This past week was my first time feeling a little back soreness. Nothing to worry about yet, but knowing that I just had back surgery in January, and I am little nervous about what is to come when I start putting on more weight. I have been sleeping a lot - it is not uncommon to find me reading in bed by 8:30pm with lights out by 9:30pm.
I have been craving... not really anything specific, which is nice because I am already a pretty picky eater. Lemonade has replaced apple juice as my drink of choice - thanks to some unsettling mornings after drinking apple juice! I have also added Brown Sugar Pop Tarts to my morning routine on the unhealthy days. I also caved and had a Dr. Pepper this week - everyone says a little caffeine is okay, but I had gone cold turkey on soda since I found out I was pregnant. The Dr. Pepper was amazing - sugary, but amazing!
Our favorite thing has been... starting to think about everything we need for the baby. While it is a little overwhelming, it is also really fun! I have loved looking at pictures of nurseries and thinking about how we want to decorate the baby's space. Being a bookworm myself, I have already started a list of all the books I want the baby to have!
We are looking forward to... celebrating the Fourth of July this weekend with my family at the lake! We’re also starting the countdown to next month when we find out if Baby Bell is a girl or boy!!
