This week our bambino is the size of a pomegranate and the length of a carrot.  I had a busy week at work and Dusty had an equally busy week.  I’m really excited for classes to end so I can focus on my baby to do list.  I’m starting to realize that we’ll be in Paris for a month and this means we need to get a lot of things done in the next month before we leave.

I’m currently researching child care options and have made appointments for Dusty and I to visit a few places.  We also have a few names of pediatricians and will be talking to doctor’s once summer starts and my schedule slows down a little.

Gender: It’s a girl! I still can’t believe the little bambino in my belly isn’t just an “it” but is a really person!

Maternity Clothes: I’m wearing a lot of dresses, maxi skirts, and leggings with long shirts.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping really well and getting a good 7-8 hours of sleep each night.  I wake up once to use the bathroom but usually go back to sleep easily.  There were a couple of nights that I had unusual dreams/nightmares and couldn’t go back to sleep for a while but overall, I’m waking up in the morning feeling refreshed.

Food: I’m still really hungry all the time! I have no food aversions which is a nice relief.

Missing Anything: I really didn’t miss anything in particular this week.  I’m getting use to not being able to eat and drink certain things like lunch meat, wine, diet coke, raw sushi, and cheese.

I am missing the ease of getting out of bed in the morning, bending over, and flexibility I once had when doing yoga.  What’s crazy is that these things are only going to get more difficult.  I’ve started to see how easy it once was to move around and how my body is changing.

Movement:  I’m feeling a lot of movement from our bambino.  I’m starting to notice that she moves around in the morning around 9 or 10am and then again in the evening around 8 or 9pm.  I love feeling her move around and I can’t tell you how comforting it is.  I no longer worry nearly as much as I did earlier in the pregnancy.  Feeling her move around has been such a huge reassurance.  She’s a little stubborn though.  When Dusty puts his hand on my belly she just doesn’t want to move around anymore.

Belly Button: I still have an innie but it’s most definitely getting bigger and flatter.  It’ll be a while before it’s an outie but it’s getting closer!

Mood: This week was a hard week.  My 21 year old cousin passed away unexpectedly and it was a very emotional.  My emotions are most definitely a little more up and down this week.

Best Moment(s) This Week: Choosing the nursery colors!

Looking Forward To: Accomplishing some things on our baby to do list!
