This week has been fairly low key. I am starting to feel him moving around more. Not consistently everyday yet but more so than a week ago. It's a nice feeling. I even saw my belly moving when he kicked earlier this week. And tonight I just felt him kicking with my hand. It was a subtle movement a few times. Very exciting!
I'm getting more aches when I move the wrong way. The top of my belly button is sticking out a lot more; the outline is visible through most of my tops. I can see a few tiny stretch mark lines right about my belly button, pretty much in the same location as some I had with Claire. I felt a little light headed the other day, again the shower. Thankfully, this time, unlike with with Claire, I didn't pass out in the shower.
We've started narrowing down some names we like. I've also started looking into new bedding for the nursery. I'm not sure yet when we'll move Clair in with Natalie and re-paint the nursery but probably at the latest by January. That's coming up quickly.
Along with the lanugo, vernix caseosa is forming on our baby's skin. Vernix is a white cheesy substance that protects our baby's skin from its aquatic environment. The placenta continues to grow and nourish the baby. Our baby's crown-to-rump length is probably about 5 1/4 to 6 inches; he weighs about 7 ounces and is around the size of a mango.
