Were to start?? It's hard to believe that I'm already 4 months into this pregnancy. It doesn't seem like it's been that long already. Things are still going well. I had a doctor's appointment late last week, and everything checked out just fine. The baby's heartbeat is still good and strong, and has decreased a little in speed. Which is normal, at least according to the doctor and nurses. This week our little one is about 4 and a half inches long, head to rump, and weighs in at 3 and a half ounces, pretty much the size of an avocado. He or she has also started to grow fingernails, and his or her scalp pattern has started to form, even though there aren't any locks of hair present yet. Mike made the comment that my belly really looks big this week. It's still hard to see it really well under my scrubs, and I still just look fat when I'm in my maternity clothes, but when I'm in my pj's the belly really is starting to stick out.
Here's a view of me in my scrubs. Now keep in mind, I had to buy some bigger tops a couple of weeks ago, the old ones, just weren't fitting like I wanted them to. It's noticeable when I pull on my top, but that's about it. Not like I'm rushing anything, I know that my time will come.
So what do you think?? Was Mike right about the belly really starting to get big this week? It's hard for me to tell how much it's changing. I know it is, but when you look at it everyday, it's hard to see the difference.
In the next couple of weeks, the baby is supposed to go through a growth spurt, and will not only double in weight, but in size. So who knows what things will look like on the outside during all this.
