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.
I have another ultrasound tomorrow and have to take a gestational diabetes nutrition class. Kinda funny since I'm like a month into this whole diet/pricking thing. But insurance mandates it, so I'll sit through it. Whatever.
As for meals this week, well, we didn't eat the meatballs and shrimp last week, so we'll just carry that forwrad to this week. Sandwiches & turkey burgers can fill whatever void we might have. It'll make for a very small grocery trip this week, which Brian will appreciate!
