wow, time seems to by flying faster now. i didnt even check to see what size my baby was last week (an apple).

Today I look at it's the size of an avacado! its about 3.5 ounces, not even a pound yet (but i feel so huge). his/her eyes and ears are moving to their right spots and he/she is growing toenails.



I am still feeling pretty good. Tiredness comes and goes. I feel I am getting fat though! Whenever i eat too much, I feel my stomach skin stretching. please, no stretch marks! I do use a cream every morning and night even though they say this doesn't help.

My body overall feels good but i go through many bouts of feeling sore, or achy all over. I have to do stretches at my desk or at home to feel loose again. Too much tension up in there.

I gained 8 lbs in the first trimester but was only really supposed to gain 5. so i am 3 lbs overweight. I am to gain 1 pound a week until the very end. If I stay on this, i will gain about 35 lbs. Not too bad, i definetely don't want to go over this.
