What’s going on this week:

Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

 

My Update:

Due Date: November 4, 2011 – 189 days to go!

Weight Gain: About a pound.  Stupid Easter candy.

Symptoms:  I think I have have had my very first smell aversion.  I was washing dishes yesterday morning, and SOMEthing in the sink smelled so gross it kept making my gag reflex kick in, so mostly I washed dishes with my head turned to the side while breathing through my mouth.

Cravings/Aversions:  Still no specific cravings, but I go through phases where nothing really sounds good, and while I am eating something, I get bored of it really quickly.

Sleep: Still good, but more nighttime bathroom breaks now.

I am loving: How great I feel! (no change here!)

I miss:  Nothing specific this week.  I’m content.

Movement: Not yet.

It’s a: I *still* think it’s a boy. (Funny story…Scott posted our old upright stationery bike on Craigslist and some old-timer came to get it that same night.  Scott mentioned at one point that I was pregnant so we had gotten the recumbent bike, etc, and as he was leaving, the man said to Scott “Well, good luck with your new son.”   Coincidence?  I think not.)

Exercise: Yes!  I tried out the new bike and it’s great!  I did a 20 minute workout the other night to break it in.   I think I might do another one tonight.

Diet: Lacking this week…Too much Easter candy – not enough veggies.
