Weight gain: 14 lbs?
Clothing: just bought some more maternity t-shirts since my old ones wouldn't go over my belly anymore!
Best moment so far: I'm starting to be able to feel Parker and tell if it's his head, butt, etc.
Movement: TONS! and all the time now, actually keeping me awake at night sometimes, but I guess that's just preparing me for motherhood :)
Food cravings: nothing too crazy this week
Symptoms: heartburn and indigestion, and some carpal tunnel-like symptoms in my left wrist/hand
Feeling: excited and nervous
Sleep: sometimes in the guest room, sometimes downstairs with Chris. Sleeping on my side was messing up my shoulder, so I pretty much gave up on that for now. Gotta do what I gotta do!
Rings: engagement ring still on for now
Things I miss: eating things that don't give me heartburn. Last night it was so bad I couldn't eat my dinner! I'm popping Tums like they are M&Ms!!
Parker is the size of a cantaloupe this week. Over a foot in length and about a pound a half in weight.
It's weird to think about, but at this point he'd have a 50-50% chance of survival outside of the womb. Not that I want him to come anytime soon, but it is comforting to know that the longer he stays "cooking", the healthier he's getting.
GOOD NEWS- I saw my orthopedic doctor this week, and my scoliosis/spinal fusion should have little to no complications with labor and/or delivery. This is great! It means I can labor on my own naturally and not worry about a scheduled C-section :)
