Baby is the size of: a butternut squash (~18.7″ & ~5.5lbs) Stretch marks?: Cool story. This baby has been trying to bust out of my belly button (it really hurts) and the other morning was super intense. I was watching it in amazement when the little stink pushed so hard for so long that I literally watched a stretch mark form in my belly button. I must admit, it was kind of cool to see. Sleep: All good in this neighbourhood Best moment this past week: J and E made us some St. Paddy’s day cupcakes with green icing. They were delicious.  Then watching E eat them. Every bite or lick…

Baby is the size of: a Durian Fruit (~17.2-18.7″ & 4.2-5.8lbs). As of our ultrasound today this baby is measuring ~4.5lbs Stretch marks?: Holding strong at 7ish. Sleep: I only woke twice this past week. Other than that, I only woke when my alarm clock (aka E) went off. Best moment this past week: We started painting the basement. The end is near. We have set a goal of Sunday to get it done. But hopefully sooner. We started painting and prepping on Saturday during E’s naptime. Miss Anything?: Orange Juice. I could live off it this week if I could but alas, it’s tres bad for glucose levels! Movement: Still nuts, except for…

Baby is the size of: a Honeydew Melon (~17.2-18.7″ & 4.2-5.8lbs) Stretch marks?: I think I’m up to 7 now. I think I got a new one midline below my belly button. Sleep: Just this week I started waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom but I fall right back asleep. I’d sleep to noon I think if I didn’t have a toddler. Best moment this past week: Finally passing my 3rd NST. The first 2 were “ok” but still labelled “non-reactive” but I passed the next 2 so I’m 2/4. Also, we got the basement primed and bought the paint! Miss Anything?: Being…

Baby is the size of: a squash (~15.2-18 inches and ~3.75-4lbs) Stretch marks?: 6 still hanging out and going strong! Sleep: It’s going well. I had to nap once this week but other than that, my energy is doing well and I’m still a proverbial nighthawk. If E would sleep longer in the am I would too. I’m still not waking in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom! Woohoo! Best moment this past week: Not the best moment by a long shot, but most memorable moment for the week was Friday the 24th. I was just sitting down in the hair dressers chair when J called to tell me E’s…

Baby is the size of: Size of a small melon or 4 navel oranges (~3.3lbs) & ~17″ long Stretch marks?: I think I’m up to 6 on the lower belly Sleep: As long as the pubic bone and SI joint are aligned, no issues! Best moment this past week: Seeing the baby quickly at my appointment and seeing it’s head down, but not engaged so who knows what position it’ll be in tomorrow. hehe Also, my glucose readings have been so good I don’t have to go back until 3 weeks. One less appointment! Miss Anything?: I was supposed to have a NST at my appointment last Thursday but no one told me and I…
