This week: The baby is about five and a half inches long (the size of a sweet potato) and weighs five ounces. This week the baby is mastering the art of yawning (he/she must be learning this from mom because I'm doing a lot of that these days!). The baby is becoming more active and is now finally big enough for me to feel some movement. I haven't felt anything yet, but I will let you know when I do!
Weight gain: +0, Total weight gain, +6.
How I'm feeling: I'm still feeling really good! I don't know if it's the weather or the pregnancy or a combination of both, but my skin itches all of the time! I'm in the process of searching for a miracle lotion that will help relieve some of the itch! If you know of one, please let me know!!! I'm mostly wearing maternity pants now, but the shirts are still too big in the belly. I'm trying to get as much use out of my winter wardrobe as I can, before I have to put it away for good!
Here is this week's picture:

Hey Shea, I don't know if you have a Destination Maternity where you are, but they had a great belly butter that helped with the itching. You look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion! I'm sure there is one in Lexington or Louisville. It's definitely worth the drive for some relief!
