This week: Wolverine Baby is a little over 17 inches long and weighs more than 4 pounds. We had an ultrasound on Friday, and at that point, she was 4.3 pounds. At this point in the pregnancy, she is rapidly putting on weight and continuing to grow.
Development: Wolverina's skeleton is hardening, and her lungs are finishing up their development. Our ultrasound showed that she's got a head full of hair, which makes perfect sense given my heartburn and reflux. What I thought was her feet in my ribs are actually her knees - she's so long that she's folded her legs. And when I thought she was kicking my hips? Nope. That was her head.
Are you craving anything? Water. I'm thirsty all the time.
Is there any food that turns you off? Spicy foods.
How do you feel? It's been a rough several days. Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions that are increasing in intensity, and she's moving around a lot. While I love it when she moves, sometimes, she seems to be doing her best to push her way through my skin. It's very hard to get comfortable, and I'm exhausted. But all of this is normal, so yay!
How is your sleep? My sleep is fine, but Ray says I'm snoring a lot. I don't doubt it - my nose is very stuffy.
Most surprising thing you've noticed or experienced: I think the drastic changes in how I feel this week are pretty surprising. I would say the shift is dramatic.
Something you're surprised you haven't noticed or experienced: Nope.
Favorite/most comfortable article of clothing: Anything that fits.
How is Ray doing? Pretty well considering he's not getting much sleep.
