Size of baby: baby is the size of a lemon, about 3 and 1/2 inches long
Total Weight Gain: about 9 pounds I think; I admit, I totally binged on Halloween candy all week long.
Maternity Clothes: Wearing my Old Navy Rockstar Skinnies almost every day and fastening with a hair tie. Shirts... I'm mostly wearing regular shirts. Good thing flowy shirts are in style.
Gender: I keep having thoughts that we're having another girl. I think it would be really neat for Carl to have a son, but we would also be really happy if Audrey had a sister to grow up with.
Movement: Not yet
Sleep: I have been sleeping better this week. I only get up once (maybe twice) to go to the bathroom. And I modified my workout routine a little bit and I think I'm sleeping better because of that. I think I've just become a lighter sleeper. And work can be stressful, so I wake up thinking about work and my clients. You know when you're kinda awake, but not really, and you have a half-dream. Yeah, I dream about my clients in those half-dreams. It's weird. All work-related, but still it's just not right to be dreaming about work.
What I miss: A nice big cup of hot coffee with cream and Splenda. I know I can make decaf, but I just don't want to make a whole pot at work for just 1 cup. I know no one else will drink the decaf. And I stay away from artificial sweetners, including Splenda even though they say it's safe. I also miss having a good sandwich with lunch meat. And it's annoying that I have to pay attention to what fish I'm eating because of the mercury-content. I don't remember being this annoyed about watching what food I could eat the first time around. But I am allowing myself to eat a lot more carbs and overall bad food than I would have even dreamed of before I got pregnant. So I guess I can't complain too much.
Cravings: Chocolate anything. Maybe seeing all the Halloween candy at work and at our house and EVERYWHERE contributed to that craving. My faves are Twix, Kit Kats, Snickers, Butterfingers... ok, I need to stop thinking about chocolate.
Symptoms: Felt pretty good this week!
Best moment this week: We bought a new car on Friday night. We were still driving the '06 Camry that I bought back in 2005 (8 years ago!). It was in decent condition, but this past week it started making a high-pitched noise. And then on Wednesday night, Carl walked into the house from being out in the rain. He looked a little wetter than he should, and he confirmed that the Camry had died at an intersection just a block outside of our neighborhood. He pushed it off to the side, and then a nice guy gave him a ride home. We had it towed to the auto shop, and on Thursday they confirmed what Carl was thinking... it was the alternator. There were a few other things that would need to be replaced pretty soon. The car had 167,000 miles on it, so it's just inevitable that things need fixed/replaced. So we decided to replace the alternator so that we could trade it in at some point. We went out car shopping on Friday night interested in finding a new car, but not desperate to find one. But we did find the right car at the right deal so we bought it! We simply upgraded... to another Camry. But this time we went with the Hybrid. We are so happy with it. Definitely the right decision for us with how much we drive. It's going to be my primary car, since I'm going to be driving more miles than Carl since he's going to be riding the train to the city at least 4 days a week now.
