How Big is Little Miss: Average fetus is 2.5 - 3.8 lbs. and about 15.2 - 16.7 inches long...about the size of a squash! Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments (thebump.com).
Symptoms: Contractions, thirsty, heartburn, peeing all of the time, insomnia (of course I can't sleep when the girls start sleeping better!), weak, tired - OH.SO.TIRED!
Weight Gain: Probably the same as last week. I'm too lazy to get up and go weigh myself, so between 13-15 lbs. I think.
Emotions: Getting more and more excited for her arrival!
Best Moment of the Week: Not completely baby related...but going shopping with my MIL to make some cute Christmas shirts for the girls! Putting away Fall things and getting out CHRISTMAS!!!! Also something exciting...realizing that our Diapers For Diva's fund is making through the girl's whole first year! SO thankful for so many wonderful people who have donated!!
Movement: Every moment of the day and night - I don't think she EVER sleeps! I love it!
Maternity Clothes: Everything! I really feel pregnant these days!
Stretchmarks: They are looking more and more noticeable than last time - wait - I couldn't SEE them last time, so this time I just actually can see them on the bottom of my belly! HAHA!
Sleep: Naps are great, but then I can't sleep at night, I have such a hard time falling asleep, even when taking a benadryl. No nap, doesn't help at all either! I don't know. No caffeine, no sugar...just pregnancy I'm guessing!
Food Cravings: Anything and everything...especially if I don't have to make it!
Aversions: Things that make heartburn worse!
Gender: A Little Miss!
What I Miss: Wine, sleeping comfortably and not peeing every second!
What I am Looking Forward to: Decorating for Christmas! AH!
And here are my weekly bump photos with comparisons to the girls!
