It’s time again for the weekly baby update! This week the baby is the size of a mango, weighs 8 ½ ounces and is 6 inches long. Nerve cells in the brain are designating areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. The baby’s hair is also starting to sprout. It still amazes me almost every week how much the baby grows and changes all the time and that there’s actually a little person growing inside of me. I know I still have a while to go, but I can’t wait to see our baby!
Symptoms (New and Continued): This week I’ve really started to experience the hip pain that comes with pregnancy. My body pillow helps some and so does walking. I’m still having heartburn and some allergy/sinus issues, but they seem to be improving. I’m also starting to forget a lot of little things and have to keep telling people "You’ll have to remind me." Brandon has to help me put my socks on every once in a while because my belly is just starting to get in the way.
Hormones are starting to get kinda crazy. When I was around 5 or 6 weeks pregnant my hormones were crazy because of the rush of hormones early on, but they had calmed down for a while. I’m starting to cry at everything these days. Last week, my aunt offered to buy me a diaper bag and I went to the bathroom at work and cried because it was so sweet of her to do that for me.
I am amazed at this time in our lives. I feel like the happily ever after princess who has everything she’s ever wanted. I know that raising our baby and all that comes with it will be harder than I can even imagine, but I also know what a time of joy it will be to watch our child grow up.
