Baby: Our baby boy is the size of a carrot this week. He is measuring about 10.5 inches long and weighing in at 12.7 ounces. His digestive system is getting ready for being outside of the womb, he's making meconium, the tarry black substance that will be in his first dirty diaper. His testes are still in his abdomen but will drop in the coming weeks once the scrotum finishes developing.
Doctor's appointments: I had an unexpected OB appointment on Friday. Thursday evening I was feeling discomfort in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen, I could feel a knot/ball right under my skin. I called my doctor first thing Friday morning and his nurse told me to come in as soon as I could. They did an ultrasound to determine if it was just baby's elbow that I could feel or a fibroid. As it turns out it was a 2cm fibroid and my doctor said that since I'm so small framed that's why I can see and feel it. He said it's common for women about this time to develop fibroids from the ligaments/muscle layers stretching and growing. As soon as I deliver it will shrink drastically in size but will always be there.
Weight: Up another pound from last week... grow baby grow!
Sleep: Needing a lot more it! I'm still sleeping well and only waking up 2-3 times a night to use the restroom.
Cravings: Just food! Nothing in particular. I'm waking up hungry which is new for me. I usually don't eat breakfast until around 9am but my stomach is already growling when my feet hit the ground which is usually by 7am.
Clothes: Wearing my maternity jeans or leggings everyday. I love the elastic on the sides of maternity tops, they are definitely my favorite. All of my pre-pregnancy tops still fit fine though so I just go back and forth between the two.
Thoughts: We were in Austin this weekend for my brothers graduation. Mike booked my most favorite hotel ever for our trip, Lonestar Court in the domain. I love it there. The rooms (& beds) are comfy, they have a breakfast buffet that is really good, it's pet-friendly and is walking distance to many shops and restaurants. On Saturday night after all of the graduation festivities we went back to our hotel and I took a long much needed nap. I woke up at close to 9pm and we walked over to the new Nordstrom and then grabbed a late night bite at The Yard House. Nordstrom had so many cute baby clothes on sale. Mike was really excited to buy Michael Austin his first (from him) tees & onesies... you can check out one of his new tees below.
