How I'm feeling: Depends on the time of day. :)  Usually pretty good, although carrying Riley around and lifting her up and putting her down is really starting to take a toll on my back.  By the end of the day my back just aches and aches.  Not sure how I'm going to cope when I'm much much bigger!  But other than that, not much to complain about.  I'm starting to feel a little bit of ligament pain- proof my belly is expanding!

Weight gain this week: one pound
Total weight gain: 2.5-3 pounds

Cravings: I really really felt like having sushi, but haven't had any because I don't know enough about sushi to pick something I'm actually allowed to eat.  So I'll look into it, figure out what's okay to have, and then maybe go out and get it at some point.  Oh and tomato soup from Safeway, YUM!!

Aversions:  Nothing too bad- alfredo sauce, and orange juice (off and on, some days I want it, some days I hate it).  I think that's it.

Best part of the week:  Daily naps (except for today), and almost daily sleep-ins (8am) thanks to my amazing husband who usually gets up with Riley early in the morning.

Movement: none felt yet, apparently I have an anterior placenta this time around, which means it can take a lot longer for me to feel any movement.  Last time I first felt movement around 17 weeks, but it could be a while before I feel anything this time.  Guess we'll see!

Worst part of the week: My stupid arm still feels awful from my blood draw last week when she struck a nerve.  OUCH.  I guess something to ask my Dr. about at my appointment on Monday.

About baby:  Baby is now about the size of a lemon, somewhere in the 3.5-4" range, weighing in at a whole 1.5 ounces (all approximate, of course).  Baby can now grimace, frown, pee, and possibly suck his or her thumb.  Fun fact (thanks to parentsconnect.com)- the baby has tripled in size in the last 3 weeks!

Aaaaaaaand, a photo with some more fun facts.

hey - I don't know what you're hoping for in a double stroller, but I thought I'd say that we love our Bob Revolution Dualie. We waited for a sale at REI and got it 15 or 20% off. very glad we did because when one of the straps came unsewn, I called to ask how to fix it and they just gave us a new one for free - and the new one they gave us was even this year's model instead of last year's! anyway, blake takes the kiddos for a run in it prob at least 3x/wk and we take it for all walks - it is used almost every single day and we are really happy with it. only downside is it says you're not supposed to use it until baby is 8 wks old and not supposed to jog w/ it until babies are 8 months. our pediatrician said that was silly, so blake started jogging w/ them in it around 6 months and that was totally fine. :)
