Symptoms: I noticed this week that I am starting to feel uncomfortable. Sitting for long periods, sleeping, laying in the recliner, getting out of the car, even trying to get up off the toilet is all starting to get harder to do with this belly.
Weight gain/loss: Will weigh in later this week so as of right now we will say I am still holding steady at a total of 17 lbs gained so far.
Sleep: Is starting to go down hill :( I fall asleep easily but wake up every couple of hours to change positions as I am uncomfortable. I have a feeling it is only going to get worse from here on out.
Food cravings/aversions: No real cravings this week
Movement? oh yes - doing my "count kicks" daily & Baby T never seems to disappoint :) He's a very active little guy!
What I miss: Sleeping through the night.
Best moment(s) this week: getting the Christmas tree decorated along with setting out all the holiday decor throughout the house. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas throughout the Taylor house!
What I'm looking forward to: seeing Baby T at our 3-D ultrasound this week
Next appointment: Wed, Nov 28th - biophysical exam & non-stress test of Baby T as well as our 3-D ultrasound on Thurs, Nov 29th

Milestones: A pint & a half of amniotic fluid surrounds Baby T but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger & takes up more room in the uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not yet very good. Even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision - which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. The fine lanugo hair that covers his little body will start falling off this week in preparation for the big day!
