Week 15

So this week I experienced my first round ligament pain. I was scared I hurt Peanut because I had moved a bed from one room to another the night before. The other day I rolled over and had the sharpest pain ever for a few seconds. I thought it was from moving the bed, but I remembered hearing something about round ligament pain. I looked it up, and I recognized the symptoms. It hasn't happened again, but it was brutal!

I started Peanut's room. I put in all the furniture I have been given. I also sorted clothes I already have by size and put them on the shelves. I can't wait until I know what colors I can start decorating with!

I have been in maternity pants for awhile, but I have now worn some tops too. I haven't really gained weight anymore. My stomach got a tad bigger. Nothing really too different is going on! Still just extra tired! Just counting down until April 14th!

What happened this week:
Baby's crown to rump length is 10-11 cm or 4-4.3 inches. Baby weighs about 100 grams or 3.5 ounces.
Baby may be sucking its thumb.
You may be starting to feel baby move now.
Baby's sex is distinguishable now.

Week 14

I had a month check up with the OB. I got to hear your heart beat again Peanut. This time is was 158. We also could hear you punching and kicking in there! It was good to hear! We are at a stage where I don't feel pregnant, and I haven't gotten any bigger really. So it was nice to check in on you and hear you!
Other people due in Sept. have said that they are feeling their baby move. I am not feeling it yet, and I know that is normal. My Dr. said it will be awhile. But I lay there at night, just waiting to feel something! I know it will be a few weeks, but I can't wait! Daddy has the flu, and we are praying that it doesn't get passed on! It would not be good for us, Peanut!
You are going to be a lucky baby. You will be one of very few who sits on jury duty. Mom spent most of week 14 in jury selection, and got picked. So the next 3-4 weeks we will be in court every day.

Baby's crown to rump length is 9-10 cm or 3.5-4.0 inches. Baby weighs about 50 grams or 1.75 ounces.
Baby begins to inhale and exhale amniotic fluid (practicing breathing).
Baby has meconium present in the intestines now.

Hmmm. Does the bump look any bigger?

Week 13

So this week I sneezed. OH MY GOSH! It hurt so bad! Like a severe cramp! It was not a good time!I had read on the pregnancy message boards about some girl saying they had sneezed and it hurt. Now I know what they were talking about! Not too much else went on this week. My weight has stayed the same for a long time. The head aches are gone! Yeah!

Here is what went on with Peanut this week.
Baby's crown to rump length is 7-9 cm or 3.0-3.5 inches. Baby weighs about 35 grams or 1.25 ounces.
Baby's tooth sockets are forming.
Baby's hair follicles develop.

Weeks 11 and 12

This week was pretty good! I am feeling a little less tired. I had one rough night with some sickness, and nothing I ate agreed with me. I have been getting some pretty bad headaches. That is no fun. I am wondering if it is because I stopped going to the chiropractor recently.
So even though I don't know what you are Peanut, I got you some great clothes for dirt cheap!!!! I can save the clothes that end up being wrong for gifts. Everyone is so excited about you Peanut! We can't wait to meet you! Here was what was going on this week!
Baby's crown to rump length is 3-5 cm or 1.2-2.0 inches. Baby weighs about 8 grams.
Baby's fingers and toes begin growing soft nails.
Baby's intestines are developing.
Baby's bladder sac is formed.


Week 12:
Peanut we saw you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was with the ultrasound tech and listened to your heartbeat, it was 167. You were moving around your arms a lot. As soon as daddy walked in, you did a big wave! I loved it! We also saw you yawn and hiccup! It was so cute!!! You are 2 and a half inches long. We are going to find out if you are a girl or boy on April 14th. I had a couple of headaches this week, but now they are stopping. I read some other ladies due in September were starting to feel their babies flutter, and they said it happened when they laid down at night. So I tried to feel you in there Peanut, I was laying still, but I don't feel you. I know you are moving around a lot, so hopefully soon. I can't wait for you to kick me for the first time!
Week 12 developments:
Baby's crown to rump length is 5-6 cm or 2.0-2.4 inches. Baby weighs about 14 grams or 0.5 ounces.
Baby's skin is pink and delicate.
Baby is making hormones such as insulin now.
Baby's liver is producing bile.



Week 11:

Week 10

I went to the Dr. this week. He reviewed all my blood tests with me. Good news! Still no anemia again. I have already been exposed to rubella and chicken pox (I knew that one with out blood test) so I am safe. Dr. said they can be deadly when pregnant. I get to go for ultrasound on Mar. 3rd. Since I have gained 11 pounds I want him to check for 2. I know there is probably only 1, but it is an excuse to get a sooner look at Peanut!
I have been feeling pretty good. I am sleeping better. I am less tired than I was. I didn't feel any morning sickness. I did get a killer cold the whole President's Day weekend. I had a really bad sore throat, cough, congestion, and all. I managed to get through it without taking anything. I am paranoid about medicine! I also have been a little less cranky with my students! I was REALLY not wanting to be there for the last couple of weeks!


What went on with Peanut this week:

Baby's crown to rump length is 2.5-3.0 cm or 1.2 inches. Baby weighs about 3-5 grams or .25 ounces.

This week not much happened. I stayed at being up around 10 pounds. I have been feeling a little better. A little less tired. Not sick at all. I am pretty much in maternity pants now. I can't pull of any of my old pants. I am ok with my shirts still.
