I read this great update from pregnancy.baby-gaga.com:
My lil' fetus will be gaining a substantial amount of weight this week and has already achieved fruit-size-status comparable to a plum. What's more, my little scientist is already starting to explore their body, focusing most intently on touching their head, and especially their face and mouth. Their mouth in particular will provide them with hours of entertainment. This happens not only because my baby is gaining coordination, and is therefore able to move a hand on command, but also because their palms have gained sensation and can actually “feel” what it touches.They're also developing their swallow reflex this week. And lastly, my baby's smelling and other olfactory senses will begin developing this week, which when combined with the maturing taste buds, will provide my baby with their first experiences of taste and smell.
Anyway, I thought it was an exciting update! I'm feeling pretty good. Nausea has mostly gone. My stomach just feels "a little gross" sometimes. I tell Elmo, "My tummy is gross." I feel so pouty when it is bothering me. He rubs my tummy anytime I ask. It is so nice. Usually if I can manage to eat something it gets better.
I go back to the dock next Monday. I should be able to stop the progesterone doses and hopefully will be taken off of pelvic rest! The dreams I've had! Sheesh!
