cravings & such: nope. still boring. i am going to have to start faking cravings just so i can give hubby a thrill. we have started a new weekly cheese plate dinner, though. i think that should count for something…
the bump: getting bigger and itching like crazy as my skin works to accommodate the growing baby. the bellybutton hasn’t popped out but i am sure it could happen any day.
cool & cute things: baby girl continues to put on fat. come on…cute little leg chubs! she now weighs 1 2/3 pounds and measures 14 inches from head to heel. knowing our combined family genes, i would be shocked if she were to grow much taller than that in the next few months.
new things: baby is inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid. these breathing movements help to develop the lungs and are good practice for her first gulp of air. the network of nerves in baby’s ears is better developed and more sensitive. she may now be able to hear both my voice AND ben’s voice as we chat with each other.
meaningful moments: painting her room. buying her outfits. NESTING. NESTING. NESTING. her kicking show for papa that he was able to watch as my belly moved.
the countdown: 98 days to go! we are into the double digits, people. we are also nearing the three month mark. [cut to rachel doing the happy dance]
current size: length of an english hothouse cucumber
