How big is baby?: Approximately the size of a banana, around 6.5 inches in length & weighing about 10.2 oz. Total weight gain/loss: +3 pounds as of this AM, but still fluctuates a bit.
Maternity clothes?: Tanks (just for length) & a mix of maternity & non-maternity shirts, but all of my regular jeans & pants still fit just fine although they are starting to feel a tad tighter in the belly come evening. Still not having to do the rubber band through the button-hole thing. I'm wearing maternity pants here & there, but they aren't that comfortable at this point.
Symptoms: Loss of appetite, lots of fatigue & increasing back pain. The heartburn is bad some days & non-existent other days so...for now we're doing okay. I've been trying to eat smaller amounts more frequently & that seems to be helping. I've started to get some random ute pains if I stretch wrong or once even when I just sneezed. I think it's stretching finally & those pains are starting--this is still happening more frequently.
Stretch marks?: Still just the ones from H thus far.
Sleep: Definitely love my sleep, but I have been waking randomly multiple times a night almost every night this week. I am able to go back to sleep fairly quickly, but I feel like I'm not getting as quality of sleep as I was previously.
Movement: She moves quite a bit, but it's still light & nothing on the outside yet. I feel her more often in the evening, but she does move around whenever I sit down.
Food cravings: I don't have as many aversions, but still lack of appetite. My stomach fills quickly with small amounts of food & nothing sounds particularly great still. The increased heartburn is also not really helping. =/
Gender: Little princess. =) At least I HOPE she stays a little princess. Definitely feeling paranoid about my anatomy scan on Wednesday.
Labor Signs: Nothing yet, clearly.
Belly Button in or out?: In & I'll be surprised if it doesn't stay that way. I have yet to ever "pop" with any pregnancy.
What I miss: Still just the same old, same old. Energy & motivation!
What I am looking forward to: My anatomy scan on the 16th! It'll be nice for K to finally get to see her & get one more confirmation that she is indeed STILL a girl. --STILL THIS. And in non-baby related news, C starting 4K on Monday. =)
