Size of baby: Our baby is approximately 11 inches and 1 pound (about the size of a papaya)!
Symptoms: I've been super out of breath (I find myself sighing, a lot). I'm still not sleeping that well... I just can't seem to find a comfortable position. My hands have been super dry... I don't know if that's pregnancy related or just the weather. However, on the positive side... I haven't been as emotional, lately. :)
Maternity clothes: I can still fit into two pairs of "normal" jeans, but I'm pretty much in all maternity shirts, now. Also, I had to put my winter coat away and bust out a maternity one. A pregnant friend of mine and I were laughing about how surprised we are when we go to zip up our coats, and they're so snug! Um, did we not think that would happen? :) Expanding belly = tighter fitting clothes!
Cravings: Still carbs! Give me bread and pasta! Also, I would eat out for breakfast, everyday, if I could. I've been loving all breakfasts foods. We went out to breakfast a couple times while we were in Michigan, and I was in heaven! Bring on the omelets, bacon, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls! mmm...
Movement: This little guy is still a mover! I usually feel him kicking pretty low and sometimes on the right side. He usually kicks when I'm still... going to sleep and when I wake up.
Gender: Still a boy! :) We've been so blessed by people at our church who have given us their hand me downs! Obviously, we had absolutely no boy clothes when we first found out that he was a boy. However, this little guy has a full wardrobe for at least the first few months of his life, at this point! I was, also, given a Moby wrap which I'm super excited about! We, purposely, got a lot of "neutral" items for Tatum (bedding, pack n play, car seat, stroller, cloth diapers, etc., so we feel pretty set. What a blessing!
I knew this would happen, but I can't believe how FAST it is all going from here on out.... I mean, most likely in 17ish weeks, he'll be here! I know that there will, obviously, be so much adjusting for us, but we're so excited. People have reassured us that we WILL be able to love this next child as much as we love T. I know that I won't understand that until he's really here. We're excited to meet this little guy... I love daydreaming about what he'll be like.... I'm already in love. <3
