How Big is the Baby: The length of an English cucumber, about 1.5 pounds-ish.

New/Changed Symptoms: Nothing "new" this week. Back pain is back but I think it's because I've been overdoing it a bit with cleaning and painitng. I found a skin tag by my armpit (gross). Also, my areolas are out of control !!! I hate it!

Emotions: I've been happy all week so far :)

Something Funny That Happened: Went to a party and there was three pregnant ladies there!

Best moment of the Week: Last night, when I removed the tape on the finally painted nursery!!!! The room is totally empty (all the diapers etc. I've been stocking up on are in the closet) and is begging to be finished! Much more motivated now that the ugly work is out of the way.

Movement: I can't believe how much stronger it's getting. It doesn't hurt yet, by any means, but it's fairly constant. Baby still freezes as soon as someone touches my tummy tho! Argh!

Maternity Clothes: Got a couple new tops (not maternity but they work) that I really like. I need to get some underwear......been putting it off so long I hardly ever wear underwear anymore cause nothing fits!

Weight: 18.2 pounds total as at today's weigh-in. I'm still weighing every day and it's pretty constant - up .5, down .5 so marginal differences every day, no huge spurts like last month :S

Food cravings: My candy craving's been ok - but maybe that's just cause I haven't bought candy so there isn't any in the house right now! But I haven't had a burning desire to go get some. I eat cereal and milk every day still.

Food aversions: Nothing.

What I Miss: Ease of movement.

What I'm Looking Forward To: A party I'm hosting this weekend :) Getting my hair done next week - holy smokes is it in rough shape.

Milestone: Nursery painted (finally).

Question(s): Just waiting to hear from my midwife re: my abnormal glucose test (blood sugar LOWER than normal.
