I was in Montana for work this week, and when I got home I was curious if Bryann could see any changes in my stomach since I was gone for a few days. So I pulled up my shirt and said "Am I showing, or am I just getting fat?" Bryann refused to answer... :-P But I was comforted to read about this week in my pregnancy books, and they assure me that my tummy roundness is partially from bloating, and partially because, even though Baby T is still super tiny, my uterus has expanded to the size of a grapefruit.
Bryann continues to be pretty amazing. I've had some weird food aversions this week - as in most food sounds horrifying - so Bryann has taken several trips to the store (sometimes multiple trips in one night) to get me what I can stomach.
What Baby T has been up to his week:
- Baby is nearly an inch and a half long, and the size of a prune. As a side note, Bryann decided that calling baby "Lil' Prune" wasn't cute, so we reverted to "Lil' Whosit" during this phase.
- 'Lil Whosit is taking more of a human shape, and we can start singing the "head and shoulders" song because all of those parts have begin forming! ♪ Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, knees and toes. Head and shoulders, knees and toes, eyes, ears, mouth and nose ♪
- Teeth buds are starting to form, digestive juices are flowing, and baby continues to urinate into the amniotic fluid and then drink it back up again. (ew...)
Pregnancy Symptoms include:
- The ever-lingering digestion issues
- Morning dry-heaving
- Burgeoning bosoms - I had to give in and buy a bigger bra. Unfortunately for me, I recently invested in several new VS bras, which I don't think I'll ever fit into again... But I took Katee's advice and found a $7 bra at Ross to tide me over.
- Food cravings/aversions
- Sensitivity to smells
This week, I love to eat:
- Fruit
- Bell Peppers
- Baby Tomatoes
- Hummus
- Beefy 5-Layer Burritos
- Applesauce
This week, I feel nauseated at the thought of:
- Chicken
- Olives
- Salad
