Baby changes: GB is busy moving amniotic fluid through nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in lungs develop
* legs are growing longer than arms now, GB can move all joints and limbs
* although the eyelids are fused shut, GB can sense light – for instance, if I shine a flashlight on my tummy, GB is likely to move away from the beam
* taste buds are forming
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’m going to pass on weighing myself today with the maximum bloating and swelling in my stomach area that I feel :/
Best Moment this week: Looking forward to ANOTHER 3 day EVENT filled weekend – heading to Ft. Worth on Friday for a wedding Johnny is in, then my sister’s baby shower on Sunday – she flies in tonight!
Gender: We are due to find out in late July / early August, but we’ve chosen to be SURPRISED!
Movement: not yet
Food / Drink Cravings: The hospital opened a Freshens Smoothie / Yogurt this week in the lobby. It is yummy! Thankfully I’m only here another 3 weeks or all of my $ would be going there. I’ve been tearing up cereal, strawberries, and ranch burgers this week.
