BABY'S SIZE     a peach!

WEIGHT GAIN     my scale still says the same range that it has been the last few weeks...

HOW I'M FEELING     better and better.  still tired though.  lots of aches and pains - weird little cramps when i cough/sneeze, or move a certain way.  they say these are ligaments and muscles and uterus stretching and growing and making room for the little peach.

WHAT I'M EATING     on thursday i ate two RAW carrots!  my first plain, raw veggies that i've liked since the nausea set in at about week 6.  i've even eaten a salad or two!  spinach.  it has been tasting pretty delicious.

HOW I'M CHANGING     same poochy baby belly from last week, it feels like.
at work the other night i walked by this lady who was charting.  she looked up and was just kind of looking at my stomach and said, "oh ya, you're pregnant aren't you?"  i said, "i know, i'm starting to get kind of poochy, huh."  she said, ".........no...?"

MOVEMENT     n/a

SLEEP     still sleeping a lot.  i think it's getting a little excessive.  i felt kind of gross at the beginning of the week, and then i stopped sleeping AS much, and i've felt a lot better.  also, we put a lot more effort than we have been the past week or two in making delicious food, which probably helps.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     we have been watching Lord of the Rings, because i think i've only seen one.  and that is unacceptable, according to arley.  we just got through the second one.  it's getting very emotional.  there was a battle, where the bad guys were coming for the good guys, who were in a fortress thing, backed up against a mountain.  it was supposed to be this impenetrable fortress with caves to hide in and everything was no big deal.  but THEN they found out that tens of thousands of the bad guys were coming, and there weren't so many good guys.  so they were just kind of preparing to die.  depressing, i know.  but THEN! the elves came (who were supposed to be leaving to some safe land where they would stay immortal and blah blah). and i couldn't even handle it.  i just started sobbing.
i'm sure you can imagine, but again, arley was completely bewildered.  and he laughed at me very much.

LOOKING FORWARD TO     a nursery.  although kind of sad about the room that it will be going in.  full to the ceiling with crap we don't know what to do with, but don't actually want to get rid of.  my job this week.

FUN FACT     baby has fingerprints!
