This week...
Baby Bell 2 is... the size of a sweet potato - approximately 6.7 ounces and 5.6 inches. Baby is starting to do lots of fun things, like yawning, hiccuping, sucking, swallowing, twisting, rolling, and kicking! We continue to feel baby move every once in a while, but it is still pretty faint. Keep working on your muscles little one!
My bump is... growing, but I do not seem to notice it much yet...except when I am trying to go to sleep. I have started trying to sleep on my side, which is my least favorite sleeping position. I would rather be flat on my stomach or flat on my back, but those positions get uncomfortable after 10 minutes or so, and I have to change it up. I am sure I will get used to side sleeping again soon!
I have been feeling... pretty good. The morning sickness has pretty much gone away, making my days much more pleasant. The only complaint I have right now is the back aches. Between already having a bad back, and toting around a growing Miss Adalee, and now having a new baby growing inside me, it is a lot of pressure on this back of mine. Last week I am pretty sure I pinched a nerve - ouch! - so I was moving slow for a few days. Luckily, with some rest over the weekend, the swelling went down and I am feeling back to normal. Hopefully this isn't a struggle for the rest of the pregnancy!
I have been craving... still on the milk kick, but I have also been getting random cravings for random things, including wedge salads, flaming hot cheetos, cheese tortilla rollups, and peanut butter. There have also been a few nights where we have made dinner, and then I sit down to eat, and none of it sounds good any more. Grateful for my patient husband on those nights... :)
Our favorite thing has been... continuing to feel the baby kick and move around - usually before we are going to bed at night, or early in the morning when we are waking up. We have also been picking out new furniture, which is always fun. With the new baby moving into the nursery, we will be moving Adalee into another bedroom upstairs that we are currently using as a guest bed. We are also in the process of finishing our basement (adding a guest bed, while decorating a playroom and living area). So lots of projects going on that are keeping us busy, but we have had so much fun thinking about how we are going to decorate the kids' rooms and their playroom. Well maybe I have been having more fun than Michael, but he is being a great sport about it!
We are looking forward to... our 20 Week Sonogram and Anatomy Scan at the end of the month. At our last few doctors appointments, the baby's heartbeat has been in the high 160s. With such a high heartbeat, plus the intense morning sickness, doctor thinks that we may have another girl on the way...we excited to find out for sure, as well as see our little one again!
