Alright, to pick up with our food comparisons, TIF will grow to the size of a chicken breast this week. Five inches and 5 ounces. He or she will also be developing fingerprints! How cool is that?! So many details are coming into place. His/her mission for the week is to learn how to yawn and hiccup. Why hiccup, I do not know. I may be able to feel some movement this week! I have been trying to focus on it, but I think I am just feeling digestive things. It would help if I could go without eating for a few hours!
"But how is she feeling?" you are all wondering (I know this because it is the #1 question I get). Well, I am feeling just fine. My memory is in tip-top shape, nausea still lingers but mostly gone, energy level is at 80%. Pretty good I think. The pollen season is coming to an end, so I am much less congested.
I read in my book this weekend that 30 minutes of exercise a day will make labor shorter and make the baby sleep better, be smarter, be more fit, and less colicy. So, I guess it is a lot of exercise for me. I wonder if my 4 hour hike on Sunday can be rationed out this week....
I had a doctor appointment last Thursday. Everything is going well. The doc says my weight and blood pressure look good and the baby's heartbeat sounds good. She got the heartbeat on the first try, by the way. She said it is because the baby is getting bigger, but we were still impressed! The next appointment will be in late July and will be THE APPOINTMENT. So, do your ancient, wive's tale, voodoo and tell me what you think I am having- boy or girl? I have my guess and Nate has his.
