Baby is size of a Squash!
By now, your baby weighs 3 3/4 pounds (about the size of a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
Symptoms
Nothing crazy happening this past week... Besides the same ole, back pain, no sleep, sometimes she will move in the wrong position and give me some sharp pains.
Sleeping
I haven't gotten any sleep, but it's NOT because of baby girl really. I mean at this point I'm just plain tired no matter how many hours I sleep. I usually get around 6-8 (or more) hours of sleep at night. The past week has just been hectic. getting about 4-6 hours. And it's taking a toll.

Really have been craving anything unhealthy.. as usual.
Maternity Clothes
I got this cute shirt from my bestie Lindsey! I am now looking for a cheap used maternity jacket.
Weight gain
Well since baby is growing about a pound a week. I'm a little nervous about how much I'll end of weighing at the end. but hopefully me going back to the gym, walking and swimming will help! I am up to 178 (according to my doc appointment yesterday at 2pm)!!! :O
Exercising
I plan on going back sometime soon. I have started walking. The weather is just now getting to where I have to wear a sweater!
Stretch Marks
The two new ones above my belly button -_-
Movement
She has still been moving like crazy, Now she is getting bigger so the moving around feels like a tumble and a drop kick. BUT I wouldn't change it for the world! I love seeing her on one side of my stomach, I touch her in a rubbing motion like I'm rubbing her back or maybe its her butt LOL. I LOVE IT!
Labor Signs
I did lose my Mucus plug. TMI SORRY!
Gender
We found out HERE what we were having! & I'm still so excited about it!
Baby Names
I am warming up to other names, something on the lines of Amiliana... But I'm really still stuck on Amillie. LOL If I name her that she can have ten different nick names! ha!
Belly button in or out?
Still in.
Rings on or off?
My rings are still on!
Nursery
This is what I have to work with....
I did get to separate what I do have for her
We also got the crib up!!! ^_^
Doc Appointment
I had an appointment yesterday. AND I did get to see my baby at an ultrasound! I wanted to surprise everyone at my Baby Sprinkle. BUT she didn't cooperate at all last week. She had her back facing us the WHOLE time, only letting us see her pretty little CHUNKY face once. So I had to go back Tuesday, and she finally was facing us, BUT she had her hand in her face, or sucking her thumb the WHOLE time!!!!!
Hopefully I get can the newest video up tonight after work! It's the cutest things watching her suck her thumb!!
