The Belly is Quickly Growing!!
Baby's size:
Baby E is about 5 1/2 inches long now and weighs 7 ounces! According to my readings, he is in there just flexing his arms and legs like crazy!

Sleep:
A couple of nights this week, I woke up at 2am wide awake! I stayed awake for about and hour and 1/2 not being able to fall back asleep. I think it's a combination of having to adjust my sleeping and definitely the excitement of everything going on in our ever-changing lives!

Maternity Clothes:
I haven't bought any maternity clothes since the last post, and after now knowing it's a boy, I will probably be spending my time shopping for him now!

Food cravings:
Well this week was my birthday so I have officially succeeded in eating some sort of cake every day this week! Baby and I are on a SUGAR HIGH!!! Haha!

Movement:
Still feeling fluttering! One night this week Dee was even able to put his hands on my belly and feel a little gurgling! It's hard to tell if it's my stomach or my baby, but I like to think it's the baby either way!

Best moment of the week:
Well, I had my very first (but definitely not last!) prenatal massage at Massage Works! Jamie did such a good job, and seeing as she has a 4-month old, she is really in tune to what my body needs right now and was able to educated me on alot of things in regards to keeping my body and muscles from aching!
But, I will of course have to say the BEST moment of the week was......
the gender reveal party, DUH!!

What I'm looking forward to:
I'm looking forward to now getting the nursery together! No rush here, but ready to see the end result come together!

What I miss:
I miss my pants fitting!! It's too soon to buy maternity pants, but I'm running out of room with the ones I have! I have been using a hair tie to loop through the button hole, but now the zippers are not zipping at all which is beginning to cause a problem!
Symptoms:
Unfortunately I have been having so pelvic pain/lower back pain on alternating sides. After some reading, I've found this can begin this week and last throughout the pregnancy. It's caused by a pinched nerve due my growing uterus and changes in my posture due to increased weight in my front half! Thankfully Dee has brought me a heating pad home and this has helped, as well as being a little more conscious of my back and shoulder posture.
Belly Button:
The belly button remains an innie but is slowly makes its way to an outie! I didn't think that my belly button would change seeing as deep as it was inward, but it is defnitely progressing outward!
Leaving you with some pictures again! Enjoy : )
