Adam's first thought after he took this picture? "HEE HEE, your stomach is getting BIIIGGGG!!!"
It is still hard for me to believe when I see myself in a mirror that THAT is me! I am the one with the big belly and a baby girl in there!
Big news for the Werner house this week! Adam received a promotion at work!!! He is now a Team Leader (not sure the name of his official position). This is going to be so wonderful for our family, especially because he will be able to take full advantage of his 5 weeks of vacation that he will begin accruing on August 12th for his 10 year anniversary at PHH. He will have lots of time to be home and be a Daddy! I am so proud of him and thankful for all the hard work he has put in to get to where he is!
Mood: Well, I was a little grumpy yesterday because I was tired, but I guess that happens to all of us! :-)
Energy: Starting to have shortness of breath if I do too much at once, but still having good energy.
Cravings: Same as usual. Brett came over for dinner last night and I was snacking on a slice of apple and she thought it was a slice of ONION! HAHA! Gross!
Nausea: Little bit. Discovering I can't eat as much!
Total Weight Gain: 18 pounds
BEW this week (per BabyCenter):
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
See what your baby looks like this week.
