Our baby is the size of a navel orange now...
** Side note. This may sound silly but I never realized why these were called navel oranges until I started looking for pictures this morning on google images. Maybe the "navel" staring out at me isn't really why they are called navel oranges, but it sure seems like it now that I see an orange in that position. End of side note. **
...about 4 inches long and 2-1/2 ounces! The baby's lungs are starting to develop and the legs are longer than the arms now. All the joints are moveable now and the baby is moving bunches, but I can't feel it yet. It really seems like a baby now :)
Overall I have lost a pound since the beginning of the pregnancy, which is fine since I was overweight to begin with. Now that I'm feeling better, its time to start exercising. I guess I should get going on that. Maybe tomorrow ;)
I have discovered a new pregnancy symptom...stuffy nose. I have never heard of this? I have been having trouble the last week or so with this and I never connected it to the pregnancy, until yesterday when my babycenter email came and mentioned "rhinitis of pregnancy." Apparently it can lead to nosebleeds...I hope that doesn't happen! Overall, I am just happy to have more energy and to be feeling better...just in time to start getting our new house ready for move in!
One of my coworker's pregnancy symptoms was a constant cold. I just heard about that like a week ago.
