By now you're well aware you're pregnant, even if your Mini hasn't started to make too much of a ruckus yet. You'll feel random aches and pains in weird places as your uterus grows. It's all part of the whole journey so don't freak out too much. Focus on those little flutters you feel in your belly as your baby lets his presence be known.
Speaking of packing on the pounds, that what it's all about for baby this week. He's adding fat stores that will keep him warm and cozy after he's born. Your baby's weight will increase approximately six times over the next four weeks. Good to know you're not the only one tipping the scale. Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born!
Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato (load on the butter and sour cream, please).
It's so exciting learning about what is going on inside of me... I went to the OB's office yesterday and everything is still good and baby is still growing! The heartbeat is strong and my uterus is where it's supposed to be! I met the midwife, and I'm super excited about the next few months and all the changes that are coming.
Tonight, Wesley and I are going to check out a dog. A friend of my sister's is trying to get rid of him, he was a rescue. He's a Sealyham Terrier, black, and his name is Buster. I'm excited to meet him and see if he would be a good fit with our family... guess we'll see tonight around 8pm! (: More updates to come soon!
