baby stats: this is one of those weeks where all the sites are different. one says bebe is the size of a cantaloupe, one says an ear of corn. i have a hard time reconciling these food items with this squirmy kiddo, but whatever. brain development is happening and lots of weight gain (for the baby) right now. good times.
aversions/cravings: not a huge appetite week for me. i want a bite of everything but i don't want a full plate of anything.
bump: still growing and hanging out mostly in front these days (as opposed to my last pregnancy where i was pregnant in my neck/face/arms/etc).
worries: had our 24 week appointment this morning, so that made everything feel good. have also felt lots of wiggles lately, so i'm maintaining some semblance of normalcy.
looking forward to: holidays. crossing things off my many, many lists.
boy or girl?: boy.
missing the most: got invited out for sushi last week and opted out, even though there are things i could eat. it's just not the same when raw salmon is not involved.
pregnancy milestone: 6 months down! heartburn in full effect. leg cramps off and on. braxton hicks contractions here and there.
what's different this time: i haven't really gained any weight. it's crazy. i'm up a net 2 lbs from where i started, which could be attributed to just about anything in my universe. anyway. it's not a huge deal, but for someone like me who is a little bit of a piglet and who has a hard time with self control, i am pretty proud that i am keeping things in check this time.
just a quick side note: when emme pats my belly gently and then kisses it when we talk about the baby, it's pretty much my favorite thing of all time ever.
