5 1/2 weeks

Only been 2 weeks since I measured my waist, but I've already grown 1 whole inch. WOW!

Baby bump info updates:

waist: 40 inches (I was only 39" 2 wks ago)

weight: 3.5 lbs since I found out I was pregnant- I've gained 1 lb and 1/2 so I'm right on track at 2 wks since my last doctor visit- she said she'd like to see me gain 2-3 no more then 5 lbs by next visit.

cravings: fruits

dislikes: Onions and garlic- I can handle them a little but not a lot- For people who know me your like those two are your staple- you put them in everything. Let's just say food doesn't taste the same without my onions and garlic : (

New developments: Last night I was laying down and I noticed Kayla was leaning more on the left side of my tummy cuz my tummy was lop-sided to the left. Then I felt a very large area of my left side get really tight (like she stuck her little butt out) then I felt that tight pressure start the move up around my belly button and to the right side where the pressure of whatever she was pushing out stayed for about 20 sec then she relaxed. It was amazing to see the moving and feel such a odd pressure at the same time. I love learning more about my growing/moving baby girl!

Wow...so exciting! That probaby WAS her butt! haha. how cute! She is letting you know she's there. So fun! Oh...and we read a similar book with our babies called BabyWise. It stresses the routing also of feeding baby, baby awake time, baby naptime/ mommy time. It makes ALL the difference. Both our babies slept the WHOLE night through by 1 and a half months old. Best thing we ever did for our baby and us. Good for you! I love that you are reading and learning so you can be the best mom. Thanks for your sweet post on my blog. It's a huge compliment that you look up to me. I am so impressed at the beautiful woman (inside and out) you have become! I am so proud of you! Love ya!!!!!
