Size of the baby: a rutabaga, about 1.5 pounds
Total weight gain: 13 pounds
Maternity clothes: No new purchases but I've been reading up on pregnancy support belts. I'm carrying so low that one may help my back on days when I have to do a lot of walking. I think I'll buy one after the holiday (when it's safe to go into a mall).
Gender: All pink over here!
Nursery: Our crib is assembled! Our stroller is assembled! And we are buying paint samples on Tuesday, R plans to start painting the weekend after Christmas. I also bought several baskets so I can start organizing her closet.
Sleep: I'm sleeping well but I'm congested in the mornings. It may not have anything to do with the pregnancy since R has been congested too. We have started using the Crane humidifier that we bought to use when the baby is born. Oh it makes such a difference. We will need to get our own once nugget moves into her nursery.
What I miss: Nothing really this week. It would be nice to bend over comfortably.
Cravings: Cinnamon gum. Milkshakes. Buttered grits. I can't wait for our Christmas even dinner!
Other symptoms: My belly button is still "in" and I haven't developed a linea nigra...my belly is just a belly so far. I'm having a bit of back and round ligament pain. Numb hands in the mornings, it can be difficult for me to turn my alarm off. I get easily frustrated which is definitely a hormone thing. Oh and I lost my taste for food a couple of nights...I can still eat, no problem with my appetite but I can't tell you what I want to eat (this is R's pet peeve).
Best moments: I feel her move all the time now! Even R has felt her several times. Seeing her crib put together and getting to test drive her stroller. We've planned our Christmas eve and we have a game plan for Christmas Day...it's going to be exhausting so we have planned nothing for the Friday after.
I can't believe the third trimester is almost here. She's getting bigger and I can feel her getting stronger every week.
