Dear Brookelynn,
You are growing so fast and before we know it you'll be here, only 119 more days to go! You are 11.5 inches long, the size of a large mango, weighing in at about 1.1 pounds.
This week has been rough, I have been pretty sick...I think I just need to give up on eating breakfast and figure out how to make up those calories throughout the day. Last night I had my first "midnight craving" that struck at 3:00 in the morning, I was hungry and thinking about having peanut butter on toast but I finally fell back to sleep after you stopped kicking and rolling around. You're very active now! I have finally put a little more weight on, about ten pounds, however, my tummy is finally starting to pop out so it finally feels more real. I guess it's an excuse to do some more shopping!
Here is the biggest change for this week, as my body prepares for labor, my uterus will begin practicing by exercising my muscles. It is around this time that women can experience "practice" contractions known as Braxton Hicks or false labor. Hopefully I will know the difference as they are irregular and vary in intensity. I'm just a little nervous about that!
Let's see what next week brings! -XOX!
