I don't really like this picture, but there it is for your viewing enjoyment. I think my head looks crooked or something. Or I'm smiling too much. (This was right after dinner. Including ice cream.) Do I look... wider? From side to side? I think I look wider.
Pretending I'm not pregnant:
Admitting I am:
You might think in this last picture that I am purposely sticking my stomach out, but no, my friends, that is just my Normal Horrifically Bad Posture, the Bad Posture that is already giving me back problems even though I've only gained about 2 1/2 lbs. (I weighed 144.0 Tues., 144.2 Wed., 143.8 this morning. Not that I'm Obsessed with Numbers or anything.)And now, enough about me, here's the scoop on Galois:
How your baby's growing: Your baby weighs about 5 ounces now, and he's around 5 inches long — about the size of a large onion. He can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden to bone. His sense of hearing is also developing. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker.
Also: I think we have movement! There has been enough Abdominal Twitchy Activity to convince me that The Baby is Moving (as opposed to just my normal all-over caffeine twitches.) (I know, I know, the words "normal" and "all-over caffeine twitches" really should not go together. I'm in graduate school, okay? That's just how it is.) I haven't felt anything that could only be described as a "kick," but from what I hear the early movements feel more like fluttering anyway (at least, for most people.) The baby moving makes me Very Happy because it reminds me I'm pregnant at random times, like when I'm sitting in statistics class, and it is helping the Bonding process. I love the baby very much. :-)
Okay, that is all for now because I simply MUST work on grading the accumulated pile of Calculus Homework papers... *sigh*...
Sometime soon I hope, a post about NYC.
Love, Neb
