After Thanksgiving, we finally put up our Christmas tree for this year. It's the earliest we've done this for the past six years that I've been here in the states. We had a fresh tree so I know it wouldn't last that long but I want it out of the house right after Christmas so that I can get the house spotless before my due date. Anyway, I have been doing great this week. I am just a little concerned about my doctor's appointment next week because I'm scared I might have gained too much due to these past holidays' feast. I didn't get the chance to do my regular walking either but I did walk around the mall and around the grocery stores, lol! I just hope it was enough, hehe!
Baby is doing great. He's moving too much and sometimes, it can actually hurt. It's fun to see my belly move while the baby is doing what looks like a somersault, lol! I should take a video of it some time and share it here so you can see what I'm talking about, lol! I think this is all for now. Thanks for reading!
How my baby's growing:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
