Sweet Baby is the size of a Chinese Cabbage!
This week we had our monthly checkup, and now we’re going to be going every two weeks! Wow, time is flying by! Before we know it she will be here, and we cannot wait! I also jumped up 5lbs this week.. The doctor said that it’s completely normal and most people jump up quickly out of nowhere and then are more consistent with weight gain. So far I’ve gained about 20lbs, but really only 10 if you don’t count the 10lb weight loss due to morning sickness. I have been so tired lately. I can’t believe how much I can sleep. Like everyone has been telling me “Get sleep now, you won’t once she’s here!” I’m not fighting it. Enjoying every moment of this pregnancy. 🙂
About our baby: By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She’s also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. (summary and weekly image from

Beautiful belly photo!
You’re doing great! Get lots of rest.
Not much longer!
My mom craved a LOT of strawberries when she was carrying me.
It does seem like it has flown by! And it is true, sleep all you can. Besides, you should listen to your body… and if it says sleep, do it. 🙂
Get lots of rest while you can! Your belly is adorable!
I can’t wait for you to meet this little girl!
This is so exciting watching your progress!
It’s so true about the sleep thing. It’s going to make the 3rd trimester easier on me this time around because remembering life with a newborn reminds me that feeling like a whale isn’t so bad! LOL
Such a cute baby belly.
