Dear Brookelynn,
This week you are the size of a cauliflower (14.5 inches long and 2 pounds). If we could see you right now you would be pretty well formed though you will continue to fill out thanks to some added fat. Your immune system is also continuing to mature as are your lungs which are still practicing breathing amniotic fluids.
As for me, just when I think...Hey, I'm starting to feel a little better...my body decides nope not yet. I've decided I won't feel better until after your born and I'm back to my per-pregnancy self. I can't wait to order and get on my Pilates machine! I've begun having intense hot flashes and feeling dizzy often. I even had to leave the grocery store because I thought I was going to pass out. I just have to take it easy and keep cold fluids in my hand constantly. The doctor said it's normal. I feel like I have menopause...luckily we have a long time before that phase hits (hopefully!). I'm still feeling nauseated but I'm able to eat a normal diet now and even craved a Look bar, it really hit the spot!
This week we have continued to get ready for your highly anticipated arrival! Glammy, Unkie, and I even signed up for a CPR class. And i have begun researching infant swim lessons. Yes, your mom is a little bit overly prepared but that's better than being unprepared in my opinion. This next week we will be having our maternity pictures taken, I can't wait! Our photographer is amazing! You'll get to know her soon, she'll be the one to take all your adorable pictures. I can't wait to see those moments captured!
The count down continues...13 weeks to go! -XOX
