Size of baby: We're an eggplant this week. The fruits/veggies are finally starting to look a bit bigger. :)
Until now, your baby's eyelids have been fused shut, but this week she'll begin to open and close her eyes. What's more, her irises are now filled with pigment. Even if you could peek at the colour of her peepers now, though, they might not stay that colour, as a baby's eyes can change up until she's 6 months to 1 year old (especially if your little one is born with baby blues).
Symptoms: The backaches have continued. I'm also now getting a strange, burning feeling under my ribcage when I sit down for too long - I suppose everything is starting to become noticeably squashed?
Cravings: Bananas - again. :) Grilled banana sandwich w/ brown sugar, omgosh.
Gender: Girl, Girl, Girl!
Movement: She's been freaking me out this week by being SUPER quiet. Not much movement at all, except for the odd wiggles here and there. I've found myself whipping out the doppler for some reassurance.
Maternity Clothes: Mostly dresses, again. So much more comfortable than actual pants.
Milestones: We are DEFINITELY in the third trimester now. Huzzah!
The belly: Baby seems to be hiding way back this week and as a result, my bump has been all sorts of shapes and sizes! It's less 'out there' than last week, and is back to being a bit more jiggly. Very weird.

I don't particularly like eggplants, but eggplant sized babies I like very very much!
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly, LO's foot started pushing against my ribcage around this time when I sat for too long. :(
Also, 19 pounds / 9 kilos seems like a good number to me, certainly nothing to worry about.
Enjoy the countdown to 30!
You look really good!
ReplyDeleteWe are slightly behind you on the countdown, just hitting week 25 today. My son is really enjoying the trips to the store and discovering what vegetable his sister is each week.
You look beautiful as always! Happy 3rd Trimester-I can't wait to be there myself!!
ReplyDeletehappy 3rd trimester! And boo for quiet babies!! I still use my doppler all the time :) you're not alone! You do look gorgeous dear! I think the burning in your rib cage is definitely baby girl inching her way up. To me, that's been one of the most uncomfortable parts of pregnancy--the baby in the ribs syndrome haha. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYay for the third trimester! Congrats!
