Sleeping may be increasingly difficult now, as your body grows. Try propping yourself with pillows to help you find a more comfortable sleeping position. You might also try doing pelvic tilts before bed, and always urinate before laying down.

If you haven't started yet, try playing around with baby names! Look through your family history, read books, look at combinations for girls and boys. Remember to ensure that the initials don't spell something rude, and never give your kids the same initials!

Baby:

At 20.5 cms or 8.1 inches total length, your baby is growing rapidly. S/he weighs about 7 ounces (198 grams). The bones are continuing the ossification process. The pads of the fingers and toes are formed and the fingerprints are developing as well.
Me:
So last weekend we had a scare i devopled a UTI and started pissing blood, which was a little crazy. So we endded up at the emergency room. Which i had an idiot doctor who gave me the wrong antibiotics for a pregnant woman. But i finally feel better. I went to my prenatal appointment today and got a new prescription from the doctor. We heard the babys heartbeat again, and derek got to hear it for the 1st time. He tried to act hard, but i know he loved it. The doctor guessed it might be a girl because the heartbeat was around 160 bpm both times. I still have no appetite. I weighed two pounds less and the nutritionist gave me crap, but i mean i'm finally able to eat without puking and the migraines are getting better. Just calm down. It's not my fault i hate all vegetable and i LOVE fast food. My uterus is almost near my belly button. Every now and then i can feel the muscles/bones trying to move and stretch. Clothes are still an issue i'm not yet ready to forfeit into maternity stuff. So i buy tank tops that are longer than normal. I'm starting to wear those pants sitting in the back of the closet the "larger" ones. Soon i'll be stealing dereks clothes. Yes that ass is still skinny sympathy weight does not apply. Since he can fit into my SIZE 0 pants. Whatever.

Weight:
122
