So we are already half way there. To be exact 21 weeks. I feel Layla move all the time now. Even Chris has been able to feel her kick. No hiccups yet but I am sure I will be tried of them once they get here.
Layla's size is compared to a banana and she is almost a whole pound.
Next week is my last week of my 5th month. And also my 2nd trimester ultrasound. I am so excited to see her again. The doctor will be looking at her development and will also reconfirm the sex.
It is pretty difficult not being able to see your baby grow. It would be so cool in the future if you could buy something for at home that you hooked up to your stomach and it would let you check on your baby every day. I just have the most horrible thoughts because I have to wait so long between ultrasounds.
I got the rest of my baby books in the mail last week. I am currently reading three of them while Chris is readying one. The ones I am reading are:
And Baby Makes Four, Babyproofing your Marriage and Becoming a Calm Mom. Chris is reading Money, sex and Kids, Stop fighting about the three things that can ruin your marriage.
I am really enjoying all of the books. I know that they wont be able to solve any of the problems that might come up but I think just knowing that what you are going through is completely normal will help. The dog book is very good too. It does however have some tough rules that are going to be hard to follow.
I still do not have any crazy cravings. Just mayo, cheese, chocolate, potatoes. But no weird combinations at all. I feel great now. I am going to start exercising more and hopefully stop the weight gain. With the time about to change I will have more sunlight after work to be outside which will be great too.
