We're almost halfway there! I've been getting weekly baby updates from babycenter.com, and while it's helpful, I mainly tune in to find out what fruit Baby Beans is this week! So... the baby is about the size of a large heirloom tomato, weighing about 8.5 ounces and measuring six inches head to bottom. I can't believe how fast the baby is growing... and me, too! :)
I know you're supposed to gain weight in pregnancy, but I have never weighed this much before! It's still a little shocking when you get on the scale. I'm supposed to gain about a pound a week, and so far, I seem to be on track now. I hadn't gained any weight until my last appointment, so doctor was pleased I was finally putting on the pounds.
My energy is coming back now, too. It's been a while since I've felt sick, I'm mostly just tired. I usually hit a wall around 7:30 or 8 at night, which is unfortunately my busiest time at work. Everyone there has been so great, and I couldn't ask for better people to work with.
I've started doing some prenatal yoga workouts, which is a big deal since I hate yoga! And hopefully it will start cooling off here soon so I can get out there in the morning and walk and not have it be too hot.
I can't believe that in less than a week our baby will no longer have a nickname, but his or her real name! I'm not good at surprises... so waiting even this long has been driving me nuts!
