Size of baby: My little guy is the size of a butternut squash(4.9 lbs & 19 in).
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have lost 1 more pound this week. I am up to 7 pounds of the 9 pounds I lost at the beginning.
Maternity Clothes: I wear maternity clothes but am able to fit into my regular scrub pants and scrub tops. I definitely am able to wear less scrubs now and find myself wearing t-shirts with my scrub pants. I am wearing some normal/maternity clothes to work at least 1-2 times per week because I am just running out of scrub tops that actually fit. At least I have a great job where I can do either scrubs or regular clothes. Plus I guess if I get really huge I can always wear OR scrubs.
Gender: A little boy!
Movement: My little guy is very active. He rolls and kicks quite often. He is most active when I drive, when I am in Jose's car (that is not pleasant), and at night when I am just relaxing.
Sleep: I am sleeping the same. I wake up at specific times to potty...about every 2-3 hours.
What I miss: At times I miss sweet things or french fries and mashed potatoes. Good thing is I can eat 1-2 fries or a small spoonful of them and that satisfies my cravings.
Cravings: I still am loving my Fruit Loops and apples. I have added Frosted Flakes and Flaming Hot Fritos to the list as well. I will have to stop the Flaming Hot Fritos in a couple of weeks because EVERYTHING gives me heartburn and reflux!
Symptoms: My feet are swelling pretty much every day now. My right ankle looks yucky too. It is weird that my feet actually look normal size. I get very uncomfortable more often and I walk as fast as a snail. My lower legs are also getting swollen. I have pitting edema most of the time. The compression socks I am now wearing all of the time actually have helped with the pain in my legs. They still swell but not as much. My back doesn't hurt as much and I am able to round without sitting down. I am getting closer and closer.
