Eeks, only 10 weeks left. Assuming she stays in that long. Not the best belly shot given the outfit, but it will have to do. One thing I am pretty please about is that I have actually done weekly blog posts for littlest miss. Even though I am fearful that she'll get "jipped" in comparison to her big sister, I think at least in terms of blog posts, she'll come out ahead.
Size of Baby: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now and weighs almost 3 pounds (about the size of a large cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will shrink as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Hopped on the scale this morning and was actually down a half a pound. So total weight gain is just under 6 pounds? Something doesn't seem right about that, but guess we'll confirm for sure tomorrow morning at my doctors appointment. Especially given that littlest miss weighs roughly half of that?!?!
Maternity Clothes: Running out of options. But its so hard to justify buying maternity clothes that I'll only wear for a couple of months. Especially since, I only have 8 weeks left of work-- and let's be honest, the lack of clothes at this point is more of a struggle in terms of getting dressed for work than for anything else!
Gender: More pink and tu-tus. Another sweet baby GIRL!
Movement: Not as much as in weeks past, thank goodness. But still plenty. Hopefully, she's still head down!
Food Cravings: Surprise, surprise. Anything with sugar!
What I miss: Not feeling exhausted. Not being able to take the good allergy medicine! It's definitely that time of year here in North Texas and needless to say this week has not been fun with all the sniffling, sneezing and coughing.
Sleep: Sleep is great. I have no trouble falling asleep and once I am out, I am out. And for at least 8 hours a night if not more.
Symptoms: Slowly, starting. Bump, lack of energy, some back pain, and this week some BH contractions. Ugh. This is clearly the point were I stop enjoying being pregnant and start wishing for her arrival.
Best Moment this week: Finding out that I passed the glucose test. Wahoo!
What I am looking forward to: Lots. My shower which is scheduled for the end of May. Getting things for her nursery (sheet and the crib skirt arrived yesterday), figuring out her name, and of course...meeting her.
You look great! Although I totally understand that once 30 weeks hits, the countdown to have them out definitely begins :) I am at 25 weeks (tomorrow) with # 2 and enjoying the honeymoon stage for the moment. I am totally jealous of your wonderful sleep, though! I am a major insomniac even in my non-pregnant life...and it's 100 times worse while pregnant. Lord knows sleep isn't going to get any easier when we have a newborn around again :)
