This last week or two have really been a turning point for "feeling pregnant". My stomach (and OTHER THINGS) have really gotten bigger and I have NOTICED! 16 Weeks to go and she still has a lot of growing to do, so I better get used to it!
Adam and I have been busy working on the nursery and finishing up the gift registry for the shower on August 18th. The nursery is about half way painted right now and will hopefully be done by this coming up weekend. The furniture is already here, too!! Will have pictures of the nursery soon!
Mood: Good! Trying to keep my "to do" lists in check and get everything done a little bit at a time.
Energy: The second trimester has been very good to me. Although, I must admit I have been easily napping lately!
Cravings: No unusual cravings, but have been waking up very hungry in the mornings. I have been eating a lot of cereal.
Nausea: None
Total Weight Gain: 14 pounds
BW1 this week (per BabyCenter):
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
