Eeks. We are officially in the single digits in terms of weeks remaining, which is both exciting and scary. Especially, since I am predicting that littlest miss will make her appearance sooner rather than later. If I had to make a guess, I'd guess Friday June 20th. Only because this is in line with her big sister's arrival.
Size of Baby: This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3 1/3 pounds (about the size of a coconut) 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.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: At last weeks doctor's appointment, I was up 7.5 lbs. My guess is its closer to 10 now as (a) baby girl seems to have grown this past week and (b) I may have eaten a lot of junk Easter weekend.
Maternity Clothes: Feel like I wear the same things over and over again. But still a mix of maternity clothes, regular pants with the belly band, and regular shirts.
Gender: More pink and tu-tus. Another sweet baby GIRL!
Movement: Back to moving all the time. As in my entire stomach moves. Fingers crossed she's still head down.
Food Cravings: Lemonade. Which is strange, because I normally don't like it!
What I miss: Other than my energy level, not much!
Sleep: Still cannot get enough. And thankfully, littlest miss isn't the reason why I get up in the middle of the night. If it weren't for allergies or arrant cries by little miss, I'd sleep for hours straight on end. I am so thankful for this.
Symptoms: Ugh, back pain almost all the time. But otherwise, not much. I guess I can't complain too much, can I?!?
Best Moment this week: Watching little miss interact with her 4-month old cousin. She was so sweet and I makes me even more excited for my two girls to meet and be best friends.
What I am looking forward to: Currently, the big focus is her name. Although we seem to have taken a few steps back (we'd been down to two or three and recently started expanding the list again). Also, excited for my sprinkle and of course getting to meet her.
