Officially 8 months pregnant!
What I look like this week:
What Rose looks like this week:
This week, according to BabyCenter, Rose 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. 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.
Weight gain: 108lbs, no weight gain this week-- a total of 14lbs this pregnancy.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, waking up once a night to use the bathroom and still being woken up early by Rose's kicking.
Eating:
Some pictures from this weeks eats:
Picture #1: Donutttsss! I had the bottom right peanut butter donut and half of the bottom left cinnamon sugar
Picture #3: Turkey (warmed up), cheese and lettuce with a pickle.
Picture #4: KIND Cinnamon Oat Clusters with Flax Seeds in whole milk. This has been a favorite of mine this week. I like it on top of vanilla yogurt or with milk (as pictured) even just by itself its so good!
Movement: Lots of kicks, rolls and hiccups.
What I'm loving: That we have only 7 weeks or less before we are holding Rose!
Symptoms: Still having vivid dreams, strange body parts falling asleep, dry skin, heartburn. Not as many braxton hicks as last week, but at least a few a day.
Exercise: I have felt a lot better this week since I haven't had as many braxton hicks or round ligament stretching, but I have been EXHAUSTED. To the extent that I went to bed at 730pm one night, it is a struggle until Matt gets home. I know I have low iron from what my doctor told me at my last appointment. I am sure that has something to do with my tiredness along with Rose possibly going through a growth spurt.
