Nick thinks I have definately popped again this week- my work shirt is getting tight around my belly finally... But hoping I can wear it for a few more weeks!
What is the baby up to this week? Her lungs and digestive tract are almost fully developed and is about 40cm long (nearly her birth length)! She is opening her eyes all the time and can probably make out light and dark from inside my belly! There is about 800mL-1L of amniotic fluid around her (I will blame atleast 1kg of my weight gain on that ha ha ha) which is pushing up against my lungs making it very hard to breathe- her head is also wedged very tightly against my lungs and ribs which make it very had to bend over to tie my laces!
Stretch marks? Thankfully none.. So far!
Sleep: Last night was actually a great night of sleep... I am usually up 2-3 times at night but can fall straight back to sleep luckily! I feel like I could nap anywhere at anytime too!
Best moment this week: antenatal class was very interesting- it was all about what CAN happen unexpectedly during labour- like induction, vacuum or forceps and c-sections! We found out Baby girl is the only stubborn one on the class and is the only one still breech- but she has until 36 weeks to turn around (96% of bubs are turned by then) and if not they will try to turn her from the outside!

Miss Anything? Runny eggs! Nick had them at breakfast yesterday and they looked so so yummy!!
Movement: LOTS! And lots of Braxton hicks (usually more when I haven't had enough water). She is a little terror at night and kicks and rolls around so much that I flinch in pain and can't get comfortable! Nick loves it though because he gets to feel my belly and guess what body parts she is pushing out!
Food cravings: Apples! Iced chocolates!

Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of coffee this week!!
Have you started to show yet: Oh YES!!!!! My belly button is poking out on the right side!
Gender prediction: no longer a prediction.... Sweet baby GIRL!!!!
Symptoms: I have started to get a linea nigra (the dark line that runs down the middle of your belly)- it is really faint at the moment but no doubt will get darker!
Belly Button in or out? In/out.... Can't make up its mind at the moment!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Had a few emotional moments this week- either felt like crying at nothing or just an overwhelming sense so love and happiness for the little family Nick and I have!
Looking forward to: our last antenatal class and being in single digits for our countdown!!!
Well that is all for this week!
Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
