How far along? 18w+1d or 4.5 months
Baby is the size of a sweet potato, 5.6 inches and 6.7 ounces.
What's new for baby? Yawning, hiccuping, sucking and swallowing are part of his/her daily routine. Also, he/she is busy twisting, rolling, punching (punching your mommy is okay, for now, little one) and kicking, too...
Total weight gain/measurements: 1.1lb, for a total weight of 115.5lbs! I think this is where I start to gain weight...
Maternity clothes: I am curvy and petite (like super petite, 5-ft), so I still fit in 99% of my clothes... But (here comes my excuse), hubby and I have an important event on April 3rd and I wanted to look really good so I got two new dresses from the amazing ASOS (maternity) website. They have tons of clothes to die for and prices are affordable, specially if you take a look at the sale section. One of the dresses is in berry color and the other one is in blush -pinkish-. Hopefully they'll fit me and I'll be able to wear them for the event.
Stretch marks? Not yet! We'll see.
Sleep: Like a bear. My advantage is that I can get up and pee in a semi asleep state.
Best moment this week: I can think of two: Hubby Jay kissing my belly and telling baby 'I love you'. The second one just happened some minutes ago: I put my iphone on top of my belly and played some of my favorite indie tracks and I could feel stronger flutters and small movements. I think baby got all happy with the music. I'll try to do this more often.
Miss anything? Drinking whiskey. Sometimes by the end of the day, I just want to have a whiskey (some Lagavulin, Oban or Glenlivet...)
Movement: Yes, stronger flutters!
Food cravings: bagels with cream cheese, bananas and iced tea.
Anything making you queasy or sick? strong coffee smell...
Gender: We do not know yet. At this point, my main concern is baby's healthy development. He/she will be endlessly loved by all of us. Only 8 more days to know it for sure.
Symptoms: sore breasts and increase appetite.
Belly button in or out? In. I do not think it will ever be out.
Wedding rings on or off? On, my fingers are still the same. Yay!
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy lol
Looking forward to: next ultrasound.
