BABY'S SIZE a navel orange! (4 inches, 2.5 ounces)
WEIGHT GAIN maybe a couple pounds. still hard to tell (especially weighing first thing, and then after a night of work...)
HOW I'M FEELING better and better. they say my hormones are going to level out and i won't be as crazy. i'm telling you, i'm ready to be done with all the "why did you do that?" sending me into a daylong cry stuff. i think arley is too.
WHAT I'M EATING i ate mcdonald's on thursday, and can still feel the heartburn. the one day i forgot to take my heartburn medicine. boo.
HOW I'M CHANGING my eczema is going crazy. it's so. awful.
MOVEMENT nothing yet.
SLEEP at my doctor's appointment i asked about sleeping on my back. most things you read say by the second trimester, you should start sleeping on sides only. and i normally do. but i keep waking up on my back. both the nurse and the doctor said if i was really serious about it, i could tape a tennis ball to my back... i think i'll just sleep it out and see what happens.
FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK the doppler couldn't find baby again, so another quick ultrasound. just for the heart tones, nothing too exciting. as soon as baby came up on the little screen arley's head was in the way. so at least one of us got a good look. baby's heart rate was 143.
also, i went to high tea with a bunch of girls from work to celebrate another girl's and my birthdays this month. it was pretty fun and pretty fancy. i'm making arley go back with me. but in a while, so i don't get into the habit of drinking too much caffeine!
LOOKING FORWARD TO in a couple more weeks we have the anatomy screen. or something. it's the ultrasound where we look at all the anatomy. by that time baby is pretty proportional and looking like a baby instead of an alien. a cute alien. they'll probably give us a bunch more photos too. yay!
FUN FACT baby is probably hiccuping, and the legs are now longer than the little arms.
