Will try to do an update every week:
We saw Dr. Greene a little over a week ago and heard Baby Werner's heartbeat. It sounded great at a strong 158! Next appointment isn't until May 22nd.
We have started working on BW's room. It was kind of our storage room, so there has been lots of cleaning out to do. We are about half way done and then will focus on new floors in there.
Adam has been the BEST Dad-to-be by being so helpful, supportive and patient.
Mood: Great! Got to hear heartbeat AND it was our 4 year Anniversary!
Energy: Doing so much better than first trimester. Rarely feel like napping, but do still like to go to bed around 8:30-9. :-)
Cravings: Nothing unusual!
Nausea: Only when I am super hungry. So much better than first trimester, which was VERY often.
Weight Gain: 4 pounds
BW1 this week (per BabyCenter): Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds. Finally, if you have an ultrasound this week, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl!
