Size of Geronimo: An onion! Baby Geronimo's skeleton is hardening to bone (prior to now it was just like rubbery cartilage), and fat is accumulating around it (note to self: lay off the oreos!). Also, his/her fingers and toes now each have thumbprints!
Weight Gain So Far: This is a tricky one. I got on the scale while I was still at home this morning, and according to my home scale I am down 2 pounds. I feel like that can't possibly be true, so I'm sticking with 1 pound gained and will give an official update after the doctor next week.
Cravings: Really nothing. It is so strange that for the longest time I had quite a few and now there's nothing I'm really craving. At this point, I feel like I'm just eating anything and everything I can get my hands on.
Aversions: Nada here, either. Unless "anything other than sleeping" counts. :-)
Symptoms: The usual. Exhaustion, high school style acne, mood swings. Mood swings isn't really a new one, actually, but today's really the first time I've thought to report it since I had what I consider to be my first meltdown today (Dan may disagree that it's the first, but as he isn't the writer of this blog, his opinion doesn't count, ha!).
Movement: Still about the same amount as last week. Since I keep getting the same feeling, I've convinced myself that it is indeed Baby B swimming around in there.
What I Miss: Sleeping through the night uninterrupted. I swear I am already up 3 times each night, so I am dreading the point when the baby's big enough for me to feel him/her sitting on my bladder.
Things I am Thankful For: An understanding husband who loves me in spite of my mood swings!
Signs of a Bump: Yup. It has made quite the appearance in the past week-ish. We saw several sets of friends whom we haven't seen in a while at the game over the weekend, and the first words out of everyone's mouth were, "WOAH where did that come from?!"
I am also not really sure why it looks like I have back fat here. I am actually wearing my first pair of maternity pants and they're too big. Guess I'm curvier than I thought! Next Doctor Appointment: Exactly one week and two days from today. I can't WAIT!
Because blogs are not nearly as fun without pictures, I will leave you with a few of my cousin's daughter Layla from when she came over to play on Friday. She is almost one year old and oh so cute! See for yourselves:
She LOVED the water and had an absolute blast - and so did we!
That's all for tonight, folks - Mama's worn slap out. Up this week: shopping for maternity clothes and housework from the weekend (hint: think gallery wall and closet clean out). Stay tuned!
