Since the families departure we have been focusing on cleaning/ organizing the house, going to work, and finishing my paper (which is almost done). We look forward to a fun weekend off together surely filled with a beach trip at adriennes daily request. She has started to attempt to direct my driving away from daycare/ home towards the ocean by telling me "no mommy, turnaround, we go beach!". Cute little bossy sassy pants girl.
Well heres our weekly stats...
This week baby is...... about 5 1/2 inches long from head to bottom but it's a gochnauer baby so if this one is anything like adrienne its definitely taller.
This week our baby weighs..... 7 ounces! our food size comparison this week says bell pepper
This week baby... apparently is busy flexing its arms and legs all the time. I guess this correlates with my body because i feel like i have started to feel daily movements this week.
Boy or girl? we will find out officially on the 29th but of course we keep trying to guess. We took a sneak peek to try to find a gender on the 9th of JAN. We may have shared the prediction with a few of you but want to wait for the big announcement until after the anatomy scan just to be sure.
Total weight gain/ loss: +10 ish, i think i should remove this portion for my sanity in the future.
Showing: yeah, sometimes, i think. It depends on what i wear and how much I've eaten but most of the time I'm showing. A few ladies at work today said they could see my little belly and I'm starting to feel like it gets in the way of me squeezing through tight places...
Maternity Clothes: Ive learned that with the second maternity clothes are just way better than anything else. So if I'm not wearing yoga pants i wear maternity pants because who doesn't want to be more comfortable?
Best moment this week: i think our best moments of the past week were simply spending time with family. It is also crazy having visitors and definitely busy but the memories that we create especially the lasting memories that adrienne is building with her grandparents are special and very valuable.
Food cravings: chicken salad sandwiches, pickles, who knows what else.
Miss anything?: Sushi!! beer and wine! Poke.... essentially anything raw fish. I also miss my pre-pregnancy workout intensity capabilities but thats only going to get worse so we will learn to embrace it. This pregnancy i have decided to fight away excess weight gain by doing crossfit and am so far loving it, I've have concisely replaced my running with crossfit for the past month or so and plan to continue this routine as long as my body allows. I actually feel better when I'm working out than when I'm not, so probably more to come on that in the future.
Anything making you sick: nope
Gender prediction: I want to say i think its a boy because we hope we can have a boy at some point but if i was to predict i would play it safe and say girl. Prove me wrong little fetus!
We call our baby: We say baby a lot so big sister can embrace the concept of a baby in the future. Brad also calls it rainbow sparkles which generated from wanting to have something to sign christmas presents with.
Looking forward to: The anatomy scan on the 29th so we can see that we have a healthy baby and hopefully figure out a gender.
Until Next Week,
Shyla, Brad, Adrienne, and Rainbow Sparkles
