Size of baby: Baby T weighs 5 ounces and is about 5 inches long from head to bottom, about the size of a baked potato.
Maternity clothes: I'm still making my normal pants work with a ponytail holder and my BeBand, but that's a lot of stuff to mess with when you have to go to the bathroom so often. I might break out some maternity pants soon just because it would make life a little easier.
Gender: Eight more days! Look for a post tomorrow about old wives tales and what each one predicts about the gender of our baby.
Movement: I feel a little bit of movement almost everyday now, but only when I'm completely still.
Sleep: Starting to get uncomfortable. I bought (and subsequently sold) a fancy pregnancy pillow I bought when I was pregnant with Maddie. It just didn't work for me. I think I might buy a plain, old body pillow this time and see if it is any better.
What I miss: Eating raw cookie dough. :)
Cravings: I eat too many sweets, if that counts.
How I'm feeling: My back is usually sore at the end of the day from toting around a 30 pound toddler, but other than that and being a little tired, I'm good.

You look super cute! I look like I'm about 3 months ahead of you! Ha! You are just about a week behind me. That's cool that we are carrying so close!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea we are that close! October/November will be here before we know it!
DeleteWe could totally fix that cookie dough problem, if you are so inclined. There are egg substitutions like soy flour or flax meal. Of course, if eating too many sweets is really such a problem, forget I said anything.
ReplyDeleteCompletely unrelated, every time Sasha looks at her class picture, she say, "I miss Jack today!" since he wasn't at school the last week. And she tells me everyone's name. My favorite is "Josh Park."
I meant to put a winking smiley face about the sweets being a problem! Now is absolutely your 'hall pass' to eat what satisfies you - I say cookie dough every day! :-)
DeleteI just might need to get a safe cookie dough recipe from you. Eric ate some tonight at my mom's house and most definitely got the evil eye from me. :)
DeleteMaddie and I were also looking at her class picture and reviewing everyone's names today. I hate to break the news to Sasha, but as far as I know neither Jack nor "Josh Park" will be back. However, all of her other friends should be there on Tuesday.
