Baby’s Milestones: Baby is about 8 inches and slightly over a pound. This week marks the beginning of some serious weight gain. Baby's weight should double in the next four weeks. Baby's skin is a reddish color now because of the developing blood vessels underneath his still thin skin. The skin is also hanging loosely at this point because the skin grows faster than the fat. By the time baby is born though, he should be nice and plump.
My Weight: 154.2 (Even with the Coldstones on Friday and a bunch of mini cupcakes on Saturday, my weight stayed exactly the same as last week)

Symptoms: My back is starting to hurt. I am still having trouble falling asleep and I'm also having trouble staying asleep. I've been waking up at least once a night (usually around 2 or 3), but luckily have been able to fall asleep relatively quickly again. My stomach skin has also been really itchy. I put cream on it every night, but it still itches like crazy. As far as physical changes go, my very inney belly button is getting flatter and flatter. I'm nervously waiting for it to pop out! Eeek! I've started to get the linea nigra (dark line) from my belly button down to about my bathing suit line, although it is very faint.
Cravings: I was really in the mood for some ice cream on Friday. It was a really hot day and it sure was delicious! Honestly, I almost wish I would have some strong cravings. I think it would be so much easier to absolutely have to have something. With me, the majority of this pregnancy, eating has almost felt like a chore (which is a huge difference from my normal love affair with food). I often wish I just didn't have to eat because nothing ever sounds good or the things that do are bad for me and the baby, which ends up making me feel guilty for eating them. I never knew eating could be such a challenge!! lol.

Emotions: I had a bit of a melt down this week over Picnik closing (actually I had two). I spent so much time searching for a site that is comparable and finally found one (It doesn't make any of the really cool collages Picnik did, but it can at least make the most basic collages so I can keep my weekly photos in the same format, but it constantly has technical errors. I repeatedly get errors when trying to upload photos. It randomly only saves half the collage I've made (cutting half of it off). Last weeks weekly photo took me over an hour to create because of the constant errors, when I could do it in 5 minutes on Picnic. Anyways the frustration over the constant problems pushed me right over the edge and on numerous occasions I have broken down in tears over it.
Feeling the Baby: What I'm feeling hasn't changed much. The intensity seems to be about the same (maybe slightly stronger). When I wake up in the middle of the night I can usually feel him moving around (maybe that is what is waking me up in the first place). I felt him moving pretty strong during a meeting the other day, which was very distracting. I really like feeling him move, it is always comforting, so I hope I continue to feel him more and more.
