No, you don't have a new superpower, although it'll feel like it because you're able to smell pizza, burnt toast or a pulled-pork sandwich from miles away. Your heightened sense of smell isn't the only new trick your nose is doing. You're probably noticing some extra nasal congestion and maybe even some nosebleeds to go along with it.
Your baby is already mugging for the camera as she practices all sorts of facial expressions, such as squinting, yawning and grimacing, which will come in handy when you introduce her to pureed spinach.
Your baby weighs about 3 ounces this week and measures between 4 and 5 inches, about the length of your mascara.
I have the heightened sense of smell and nasal congestion, that's for sure! (: I don't have nosebleeds, so thank god for that. Apparently they can be a sign of high blood pressure in pregnant women. I'm super excited about the facial expressions - and when I go back to the Doc next week to hear the heartbeat, I'll get to make the ever so important 'gender appointment'. I'm hoping that it will be able to be the first week of January so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl just before my birthday! I'm so stoked to find out!
On a lighter note this week, we started Secret Santa at work and I already LOVE whoever has my name! I've gotten two presents already this week! What an amazing person! I can't wait to find out who they are and hug their neck! Also, on the upside... the person I have has gotten two gifts this week too! (:
Lots of big plans this weekend... my sister graduates from college and some Christmas party fun is to be had as well! I'm excited because we're going to a Dirty Santa party... and I have one of the best gifts EVA to take... and I have a great idea for a second one to take as well... just have to find somewhere to buy it!! (:
Hope you all have a great week! Thanks for stopping by!
