How big is baby: According to babycenter.com, 3.3lbs (weight of 4 navel oranges) and over 16 inches long from head to heel.
Weight Gain: +16lbs
Sleep: Waking once to pee.
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: I haven't really been into eating as much this pregnancy.Don't get me wrong, I eat plenty. But I haven't been very excited considering that I can pretty much eat anything I want. Meals are something I have to do rather than look forward to. I'm not complaining- it helps keep my weight in check- but think it is weird.
Exercise: Not so much.
Symptoms: Contractions. And I'm starting to get (really) emotional. I've had a few episodes of crying over raising my boys in a world where so much bad stuff is happening. And as someone whose body is working hard to make a child, I've been very upset by of recent political conversations about women having control of their bodies. For both Stephen and myself, I'm avoiding things that will upset me. Like the news...or the internet. There's plenty of other stuff for me to do.

Movement: There's been a marked increase in movement in the past two weeks. He's kicked me really hard a few times. There's a spot on the upper right side of my belly where I feel the most movement. Maybe his feet are there.
What's different this time: Last time I really started wearing maternity clothes around 30 weeks. This time I'm outgrowing them.
What I'm looking forward to: The Carter-McGrath nuptials next weekend!!! And a visit from Nonnie and Pop.
Best moment of the week: Sleeping in (with Chase) on Sunday morning. He was sick and up 3 times the night before AND it was daylight savings, but he did sleep until 9am.
The belly: "Your belly looks like it is growing every day." I wonder if people realize that's not a compliment. I'm outgrowing maternity clothes already--and I have another 2 months to go! What the heck am I going to wear in May??
