Feeling/ Symptoms:  Pretty good!  So far i like being pregnant.  I have been walking to work and those walks are becoming slower... no more speed walking.  

Health:  I think these prenatal vitamins are a miracle!  I haven't gotten sick once since being preggo (KNOCK ON WOOD).  Feeling healthy.  Had birthday cake 3 times this week since it was co workers birthday. But besides that been eating semi healthy.

Belly:  Belly button has not popped out but it does look very different than what i am used to.  It's real smooth and round!

Maternity Clothes: Thank you to my previous preggo friends, i have borrowed a few of their maternity wardrobes.  I have bought ONE maternity skirt (that i love).  That is all i have bought.  My summer dresses from last year still fit, good thing i wore mu mu's last summer ;)  Besides that it's skirts, and yoga pants. Nothing but class.

What the professionals are saying: 

How your baby's growing:

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

Baby is the size of what fruit??  MANGO!
