This week...
Baby Bell 2 is... the size of a cantaloupe! Wow...that just sounds so big! Baby is weighing between 12.7 and 20.8 ounces, and is measuring 10.5 to 11.8 inches. Her skin is becoming more opaque and pink, as small capillaries begin to form. I still can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going - June is going to be here before we know it!
My bump is... an actual bump - sticking out and everything! Baby has been moving and kicking a lot lately - exploring her home! Part of me loves getting to feel her move all the time, but at night when I am trying to sleep...not so much! I am finally getting used to the side-sleeping again - as long as I got a few pillows tucked around me on all sides!
I have been feeling... much better! So glad to be over all the gross sickness! I am starting to feel some of the discomforts of pregnancy - heartburn, leg cramps, and backaches. I think I need to be more intentional about drinking water throughout the day, as well as watching how much I am holding Adalee. Picking her up has become quite the task, and I get tired after holding her for longer than 10 or so minutes. We are going to have to figure something out, because she looks at me with those "puppy dog" eyes, raises her arms, and says "up" - and of course I give in...
I have been craving... nothing too specific, but I have definitely noticed an uptick in my sweets intake - ice cream and chocolate are the current favorites!
Our favorite thing has been... just spending time with family and friends. Sometimes it is the simple things in life, and we have definitely needed some family/friend time lately. Plus, Adalee is doing much better when we go out, making eating dinner at restaurants much easier! No progress on the nursery or baby's name...we will probably need to start working on those things soon! :)
We are looking forward to... VACATION! We leave this Friday for Hawaii - and I couldn't be more excited! Our family is headed to Oahu with my parents and sister for 8 days of fun in the sun! We had originally planned a trip to Turks and Caicos, but with the Zika virus going crazy in the Caribbean right now, I thought we would have to cancel our trip. Luckily, my mom and I were able to work out all the details in order to change the location of our trip - one month out! I am so glad it all worked out, and now, I just need to get us all packed and ready to leave by Friday - that part will be stressful - but once we are there - it is all rest and relaxation! :)
