How big is baby? 5 1/2 inches and 7 ounces, as big as a sweet potato or bell pepper.

Total weight loss/gain? Haven’t checked.
Maternity clothes? Yes, but still wearing a pair of pants from pre-pregnancy plus. No maternity running clothes either.

Stretch marks? No.

Sleep? Not through the night as much this week. I feel like a newborn or something.

Pregnancy dreams? A random strange dream every few nights.

Best moment of the week? Finishing my 10k in 56:01. That’s a 9:01 pace for anybody that’c counting! I was expecting to run closer to 65 minutes, so that was really exciting!

Miss anything? Not at the moment.

Movement? A little every day.

Food cravings? Fruit, hard boiled eggs, pasta.

Anything make you queasy/sick? Avocados, and most meat. Also, melted cheese on anything.

Labor signs? Too early.

Symptoms? None.

Belly button in or out? In, but getting shallower.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy.

Any milestones this week? Bones and nerves in baby’s ears are developed enough to function, so baby can hear sounds from inside the belly and the outside world.

Looking forward to? Slowly going back to work this week, just for meetings for the most part. It just means I’m that much closer to the due date.

 We went to a wedding, so I needed a picture with my little man too!

 

He was definitely the best dressed at the wedding. The wedding was for a playgroup friend, so they had a bouncy house for all the kids. Miles had a blast, and spent most of the evening jumping!
