Size of baby: Bennett is about the size of a mango (or 6 inches long and approximately 8.5 oz) according to The Bump.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Stood on the scale thus morning and I'm now at an 8lb weight gain. Whoop. This boy's growin'!
Maternity Clothes: I just got what I think may be my favorite maternity piece this whole pregnancy: it's this long, black, peasant-y Liz Lange Maternity skirt from Target. I've eyed it for a while and it finally hit the clearance rack. Whoop!
Gender: A little brother for Keegan Michael.
Movement: I think he's growing again, because he's resting pretty nice this past week- but I do feel him kicking around as I type this!
Sleep: I think my bladder's shrunk in half this past week, so my sleep has begun to be even more interrupted. Yikes.
What I miss: energy- but that's it! I'm feeling very content (I am knocking on wood so hard right now!)
Cravings: I am SO hungry lately. I know this boy's going through a growth spurt again. I had a small breakfast yesterday morning, but almost fainted during second service because I suddenly got SO starving and light-headed. We went out to Mexican after church and ate my entire combo platter in the same amount of time it took my husband to eat his (and those who know my husband know he eats faster than anyone I've ever met)!
Symptoms: I am starving, as mentioned above, and sleepy! But, I'm also starting to nest like crazy. I'm working hard at putting together Keegan's big boy room, and anticipating being able to adjust the nursery to prep for baby Bennett... But we've got time. However, if the next 18-20 weeks go as fast as the past 19 weeks, then I better get crackin'!
Best Moment this week: We had an anatomy scan with the perinatal center to make sure Bennett's heart is developing properly (my husband was born with a number of heart defects so for every pregnancy we have to go see the specialist to rule out any issues). Bennett looked GREAT and is so handsome. Everything's perfect so far (at least from what the ultrasound and tests are showing). In fact, everything's looking so good, I'm even measuring a week ahead! Whoop! Hoping that means this boy arrives a little early like his big brother!
