14 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:Now the size of your clenched fist or a lemon, the baby is more fluid-like in their movements, so they are no longer doing the jerk every time they reposition their arms and legs. Other developments this week include a roof of their own (inside their mouth, that is) as well as intestinal activity: Their intestines are producing meconium (which is the waste that will make up their first bowel movement after birth). They are also sporting a downy coating of hair (lanugo) that keeps them nice and warm.
My Symptoms: Complete and utter exhaustion, a sensistive stomach, and some spirts of nausea in there.
Maternity clothes? Loose long shirts. I want to hide my belly for now because it's in the in-between weird stage of not looking pregnant and looking pregnant.
Sleep? I always want sleep!!! I come home from work, cook dinner (or watch Paul cook dinner), do some stuff online, then head to bed. 9:00pm- 6:25am
Best moment last week? A fluttering feeling during work. Weirdest thing ever and after texting my oldest sister, she said it was... BABY!
Movement? That weird fluttering so far. On and off (some days yes, some days no)
Weight Gain: . Started at 140 lbs and now I'm 143 lbs. (+3)
Cravings: So far I've craved avacados, homemade hamburgers, french fries (hashbrowns did the trick), cream cheese, and ham and cheese sandwiches.
Food Aversions: Tomato Soup.. oh my goodness, I hate the smell and just thinking about it. I used to love it with grilled cheese.
What made me cry this week: Homesickness, some work related stuff, and the arrival and departure of my parents visiting from Colorado.
Medical Stuff: Everything looks healthy. The baby has a heart rate of 150.
Something I am excited about: CHRISTMAS!!!! My amazing parents came in this weekend and it's made me so much more excited (if that's at all possible) for Christmas to come and for us to be out there with the whole family! This will involve lots of laughs, cookies, alcohol (not for me, don't worry), memories, and all around fun! YAY! But before that, we will be finding out the gender of this little Loodle! :D
