Baby This Week? Malcolm is about the size of a cantelope or about 6.5 inches from head to rump! He's beginning to become covered in vernix, which is a waxy substance that protects his skin from the amniotic fluid. He can hear sounds from the outside now. He's also starting to build up that oh so wonderful meconium, which will eventually be his first poop. (One of the positives of having a c section is dad usually has to deal with the meconium situation) lol. We had our anatomy scan this week too so I know that munchkin weighs around 12.5 ozs!
Symptoms? I am happy to report that I've been fairly ok this week. Still super gaggy but not as bad as the last few weeks. I even went to the grocery store today. Progress! I just hope it keeps getting better. Outside of the nausea, the back pain has started. And also hip pain. That's new for me. It's only when I sleep though. Also been getting super lightheaded when I stand up too fast.
Cravings/ Aversions? I'm coming around on my food choices. I actually devoured some beef jerky today. Still eating far too much processed foods. But hopefully as I start feeling better, I can eat more fruits and veggies.
Goals for the Week? I want to do a little bit of work on the patio if I have more days like today. We'll see what the next few days are like!!
Mason? Little man is a beast! His top two teeth are just starting to break through the gums so he's been a bit cranky. He also started doing planks and downward facing dogs this week!!! He's really big into pushing buttons too. Love that little guy.
And here's the 20 week bump.
