Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a leek...about 19 1/2 inches and around 6.8 pounds!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think my scale at home is off...it always measures under. So we'll say still up 26 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Actually haven't been too bad this week...I had a few spring shirts just in case it got warm, and it has been, so I've been able to break out a couple of new things this week!
Gender: It's a GIRL! Emma Ramey
Belly Button In/Out: Flat, occasionally an outie. She was kicking a few nights ago and actually kicked me right in the belly button, and I had a definite outie for a few minutes!
Stretch Marks: Besides the belly button scar, nothing!
Labor Signs: A whole lot of nothing this week. Braxton Hicks like normal, and maybe one or two real contractions, but definitely nothing big.
Movement: She's been doing a lot of the slinking across my belly this week. No big movements anymore, but I'll occasionally see her move!
Sleep: Is VERY difficult. I have to wake up every time I change positions now, so probably about once an hour. Add in bathroom trips during the night and it becomes very difficult to get a good night's sleep. Still having to do Tylenol PM sometimes.

What I miss: I can't wait to function again!
What I am looking forward to: We've decided we're having a nothing day this weekend...it's going to be a LONG time before we get another one, so we're enjoying our time while we have it!
Cravings/Aversions: Still just really thirsty all of the time...I'm wondering if I'm retaining a lot of it?
Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, the occasional "real" contraction, swollen ankles, achy, especially in the morning and especially in my legs, insomnia.
Best Moment This Week: Making it through yesterday without going into labor! :) I really didn't want to have her on February 29th...the leap year baby jokes have always gotten on my nerves. So I was very thankful she decided to keep on baking through that one (and that she's still healthy and not coming early, of course)!
