Weekly Update

How am I feeling? Great! Still a bit tired, but I am getting used to it lol!

Milestones: Feeling baby move this past week! Guy and I were sitting down last Thursday night watching Vampire Diaries and I felt 2 little kicks right by my belly button. It has gotten more frequent every day since then and today I don't think baby has slept at all today lol! Baby has been very active!

How do I look? Pregnant... round belly and big boobs lol! I feel really good in my own skin though! I love my little belly :) And the hubby loves the boobs haha!

What is the little bambino up to? Baby's now the size of a banana! Baby gulps down several ounces of amniotic fluid every day, both for hydration and nutrition and to practice swallowing and digesting. And, these days, those taste buds actually work! Studies show that after birth, babies are most interested in tastes they've already experienced through amniotic fluid. Meaning, think about what you want your future child to eat as you prepare your own lunch.

What am I craving? I continue to crave salty foods! Party pizzas and Mac&Chz!!

Aversions? Peanut Butter

What do I miss? Nothing at all!

What am I looking forward to? Baby showers!!

I haven't stopped smiling in days.
Feeling so very blessed and lucky...

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
