Baby’s Milestones: Baby is about 9 inches long and weighs more than a pound and a half. Baby's skin is turning pinker because small blood vessels, called capillaries, are forming under the skin and filling with blood. Blood vessels are also developing in baby's lungs, bringing him one step closer to full maturity and taking his first breath of fresh air. Baby's nostrils, which have been plugged until now, are starting to open. This actually allows our little one to begin practice breaths.

Symptoms: My upper back has been hurting quite a bit this week. I'm still getting occasional leg cramps and my legs also get numb on occassion. I'm still taking my rings off at night as a precaution, but they always slide right on in the morning. I am still having trouble with sleeping and on top of that I have felt extra tired this week (baby must be growing). I have also had a few headaches this week. I must say though, overall, I am feeling really good.
Cravings: I'm still on my ice cream kick!

Emotions: I had two teary moments this week. Moment #1- While we were waiting for our 4D ultrasound Friday we could hear the group in front of us in the room. When they found out the sex of the baby the entire room (about 10 people) erupted in cheers and one shouted "It's a Boy!" Then the big brother (who was wearing an adorable big brother shirt) said, "It's a Baby!" in the cutest little toddler voice. It totally choked me up. Moment #2- Nic read the baby the book Love You Forever on Sunday night. That book has always got me a bit emotional, but now that I am going to be a mom to a little boy, it really got me. I totally started crying.

Feeling the Baby: Nic finally felt the baby move Saturday night! :) He has been moving a ton this past week and I'm so happy Nic could finally feel him.
