technically, 19 weeks, 4 days
{i’ve been slacking on my updates}
gender:: a sweet baby girl!
size:: 6 inches long, or heirloom tomato sized
symptoms:: hip pain, back pain, particularly when trying to sleep (our mattress is older than we are)
movement:: not yet, and not for a while. at my last appointment, the doctor said i have an anterior placenta, which means the placenta is growing in the front, in between the baby and me–not anything to worry about, the placenta has to grow somewhere, it just means that i won’t feel the baby kick as early as most. she said not to expect any little flutterings until around 22 weeks
looking forward to:: having 2 ultrasounds next month (another at my office, and one at B’s dad’s office), seeing my family, especially my sister L, back from her study abroad
