Movement:

I am positive that I have felt baby move a few times this week. It isn't every day, but I know that is what I am feeling. My placenta is anterior (on the front of my uterus) so I know it may be a little while before I am feeling it consistently.

Food Cravings:

Hamburgers. I ate a hamburger almost every day this week. One day, I ate one for lunch AND dinner! I also want strawberries and grapes!

Food Aversions:

  Pork

Gender:

May 17!!!

Symptoms:

Frequent urination, round ligament pain, mood swings, indigestion, fatigue, vivid dreams (and some nightmares), breast changes, swollen belly, heightened sense of smell, frequent headaches, back aches, forgetfulness- "pregnancy brain", contractions (stupid irritable uterus...)

What do I miss:

Nothing... I am feeling pretty normal these days...

Best moment of the week:

Feeling the baby move! And, one day this week, I was adventurous and had a cup of coffee!! I have had one cup a day since!

What am I looking forward to:

Gender scan!

Milestones:

"Baby's ears are positioned properly on the sides of the head, and the eyes are moving from the side of the head to the front of the face.  By now baby has the coordination, strength, and smarts to wiggle his or her fingers and toes and even suck a thumb.  He/She can also make breathing movements, suck, and swallow-all in preparation for life outside of my tummy."
