Baby is the size of: An Heirloom Tomato

Total weight gain/loss: +7 from pre-pregnancy weight.

Food Cravings: Raspberry Smoothies 

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Pasta. 

Sleep: I have a hard time getting comfortable enough to get to sleep, but once I fall asleep I'm usually okay.

What I miss: Soft serve ice cream.

Wedding rings On or Off: On.

Movement: Definitely feeling movement now! My husband can even feel it if he puts his hand down at the right place at the right moment. 

Maternity Clothes? Still really need some, still haven't bought any. 

Labor Signs: Nope!

Best Moment of the Week: Feeling all kinds of movement, and my husband being able to feel the baby as well!
