I did NOT forget that I changed weeks today, but for some reason I never got the weekly e-mail I get about this week in pregnancy. Bummer! I do know, though, that these next few weeks are MAJOR in terms of your growth and development--you'll double in size over the next few weeks!
Speaking of doubling in size... I have definitely grown this week. BUT I go through moments of looking bloated and moments of looking deflated. I think I'll be more content once I look pregnant ALL the time. You're still hanging out low and now I notice you are somewhat to my left side... when I look in the mirror straight ahead, I have a different curve to my left side than I do to my right, and I feel "fuller" there. I also don't feel comfortable sleeping on my left side AT ALL... I guess my mind is telling me to give you some space!!
I'm enjoying the moments I get when I listen to your heart beating. I don't listen every single day, but when I do, just hearing your thump-thump-thump relaxes me so much!
I've also started to buy things for you. I tend to be a bargain shopper, so if something is on clearance or there's a good sale, I'll grab it. So far it's been just little things (a navy blue hoodie for $2, an organic sweater-knit blanket for $8, etc.) but they're things you'll need! I've also started making lists of what we'll need for you.
Oh I am so excited!
