Our baby is approximately the size of a naval orange this week! He is growing so fast! This week, his lungs are beginning to develop, he is growing eyebrows, his taste buds are developing, and his digestive system is beginning to work.
I have been feeling great! I cooked three meals this week, cleaned a little bit, and took care of some errands. I also started taking my prenatal vitamin pills again, instead of chewing the gummy vitamins. All in all, this week has been wonderful! I guess the baby's taste buds like chicken salad, because I'm still on that kick. I had it for dinner Tuesday, lunch Wednesday, dinner Thursday, and lunch Friday.
This was also the week of doctors' appointments. On Wednesday, I went to the dentist and chiropractor. The dentist was the most excruciating pain I experienced all week, and it was just a routine cleaning! Apparently, pregnant women's gums are extra sensitive and more susceptible to gingivitis. I now I have a strict dental routine because I don't want any dental problems! The chiropractor told me that my hips were in place and the swelling is going down! Now, I only waddle after I've walked too much! The best appointment was Friday...the OB! It was just a check-up, but they did use the Doppler to hear my precious one's heartbeat. The heart is still beating strong at 163 beats per minute!! I also scheduled my 20 week ultrasound for August 12th, which means we'll know the gender in 27 days!! I can't wait!!
Sorry for no picture this week; we've been too busy to take one!
