"This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy."
He is kicking a lot! His kicks are up high now so I'm guessing he is in the head down position which is where he needs to be. I'll probably find out more at my next appointment on Tuesday.
Apparently all of his organs are fully functional except for his lungs now although his brain is still growing. I've been trying to continue to eat healthy, but all of my pregnancy cravings involve fried foods, ice cream, and sushi! All are things I shouldn't be eating a lot of if at all. Stupid cravings. At least Robbie is helping me resist the temptation. LOL!
I'm down to a single digit countdown now...9 weeks to go and I will be a mom! =)
