This week TIF will grow to be 8 1/2" long and 1 1/2 pounds! She will gain 6 ounces this week as she puts on some fat and develops her bones and organs. She is also hard at work on her good looks- eyelashes, hair, and eyebrows come in this week! Watch out boys!
I am felling really good at this stage. TIF is super active during the day (and night). She is practicing for the olympics, I think. I am a very light sleeper now, waking up about 5 or 6 times a night to turn over due to an achy back or hip or to go for my nightly bathroom break. I still have way more energy than I did the first trimester. My book says this is good practice for me for when the baby comes.
TIF can taste everything I eat now, so I am always thinking before I eat. Did anyone hear the story about this on NPR this morning? I think it is so cool. TIF is definitely going to love fruit after she is born. I eat about two pieces of fruit a day plus 2 or 3 glasses of juice a day. Maybe I should eat more veggies...
TIF took her "first swim" in the pool yesterday and will be going on her "first flight" next week. Very exciting times for her! Swimming was so nice- I felt so light! In the mean time, TIF enjoys listening to statutes and NPR. Hey, it worked for Olivia!
