Size of baby: About the size of a eggplant; still measuring between 13.6 and 14.8 inches and weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds but according to the week-by-week baby boy will be entering a new size range next week so he is probably at the higher end of this range now I would guess :-)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: still a few pounds up from my pre-pregnancy weight

How I'm Changing: nothing major this week - more uncomfortable at times due to the ever expanding belly
Maternity Clothes: not really into anything non-maternity right now... still trying to pull off the pre-pregnancy tank tops under my maternity shirts but they are getting short over the belly
Gender: baby boy
Movements: he has more active days and some that are less active but overall lots of movement that I notice even if I'm not really paying attention to it
Sleep: waking up consistently at least once a night (usually about an hour before my alarm goes off... nice) and sometimes more than that - I've been getting really hot at night so that is a challenge
Symptoms: nothing specific... just general discomfort
How I'm feeling: good but tired - feeling baby boy move around is the most exciting thing I think I have ever experienced... I love him so much already
What I Miss: nothing new... red wine, sushi
Cravings: nothing specific - in lieu of listing cravings I will just take this space to say that B is the absolute best because he has been planning awesome meals for us and we have been eating at home more and eating healthier than we had been - he puts shepherd's pie on the menu regularly which is my absolute favorite and overall I just feel very lucky to have a husband who is so skilled in the kitchen :-) I love that we can cook together and even though I don't always want to I have been trying to be an excellent sous chef/dishwasher because he deserves at least that :-)
Best Moment(s) of the Week: This week was interesting - as my previous post mentioned we got a huge snow storm on Monday/Tuesday. That resulted in an impromptu snow day for B and I which was pretty awesome. I also got the infant car seat and stroller this week on Thursday and putting it together wasn't even hard so that was very exciting.
What I am Looking Forward To/What I Really Need to Get a Handle On: OB appointment next week - not looking forward to the GTT but it is a necessary evil. Just hoping I pass so I don't have to deal with GD stuff. I also NEED to get the pediatrician thing sorted out. I am down to 3 nanny candidates that I like and want to meet in person probably in late February / early March. Also I want to get a chair situation figured out for the nursery - we looked at some gliders at buybuyBaby but they all seem pretty expensive for the quality. Overall lots to do yet but all very exciting.
