How far along?: 20w 3days
How big is baby?: She(!) is now the size of a banana! Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid everyday, both for nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies respond best to tastes they've already had via amniotic fluid. Meaning, I'm supposed to think about what I'd like our future child to eat as I prepare my own lunch. noted.
Weight gain/loss?: no gym this week due to lovely acute bronchitis, but I'm guessing +11 or 12 at this point.
Stretch marks?: Okay, so last Friday or so, I could have sworn I saw my first stretch mark on my right side. I've since been on a moisturizing frenzy and it seems to have disappeared. phew.
Maternity clothes?: Yes. I can still wear some of my longer regular shirts, but I don't bother with pants unless there is some sort of elastic waist involved.
Sleep?: Other than waking to cough, not too bad.
Food cravings?: Yesterday I wanted Chipotle and made it happen.
Gender?: sweet baby girl. We aren't settled on her name yet and that's bothering me.
Movement?: lots in the morning, when I'm sitting at my desk, and before bed. I love it.
Belly button?: seeing more of the inside. I'm smaller than I was at this point with Adalyn, so I wonder what it will do. It never really popped out with her, so we shall see.
Symptoms?: Other than being sick, feeling pretty great.
