22 weeks in. This is what is happening with My Little Loodle:
This week, baby weighs in at a whopping pound and measures nearly eight inches, about the size of a small doll or papaya. But your little doll (who now has eyebrows, eyelashes, and maybe even some hair on that little head) is a living one who can now perceive light and dark. They can also hear your voice, your heartbeat, your gurgling stomach, and the whoosh-whoosh of blood circulating through your body. And as their brain and nerve endings develop, they may reach for their face (or whatever they can reach) just to experiment with their newfound sense of touch.
My Symptoms: Back pain, sometimes my feet swell, and I have felt cramping in my lower abdominal area.
Maternity clothes? Yep... and I find myself staying in sweatpants and sweatshirts during the day.
Sleep? I sleep a lot and get up to use the bathroom a lot. It's routine now :P
Best moment last week? Christmas, here in Colorado, with my side of the family!! It was wonderful!
Movement? Baby is always kicking me when I am sitting or lying down.
Weight Gain: I am at 151 lbs. now. I've lost 1 pound since last entry.
Cravings: No big cravings, the Christmas feast was very satisfying :)
Food Aversions: Tomato soup, cilantro, spicy things, and spaghetti.
What made me cry this week: Last minute Christmas shopping.
Medical Stuff: Nothing to report. Baby seems healthy because he/she is moving around so much.
Something I am excited about: I am excited to go see The Hobbit with my 4 older sisters sometime this week!
