The baby is the size of a: Blueberry
New baby developments this week: "Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long" (BabyCenter).
Total weight gain: I haven't noticed much at all -- maybe a couple of pounds? I'll find out during my first ultrasound on July 23 :)
Maternity clothes? Nope (although I am trying to avoid clothes that make me feel too "poochy")
Stretch marks? Nope, still have my stomach! :)
Sleep: Yep!
Best moment this week: Getting the idea from my lovely expectant co-worker to do this blog (since I love journaling, I love blogging and I love babies!) Miss Anything? Nope, not really!
Movement/Feelings: All I feel is pain here and there in the front and back (basically, growing pains) -- a sign that the uterus is growing
Food cravings: Nope, not really. Just craved nachos and cheese and a McDonald's Snack Wrap, though (I don't know if those are the normal random food cravings I have or finally can be blamed on the pregnancy)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Symptoms: None! (No frequent bathroom trips yet)
Gender: I don't know yet...but I'm thinking it will be a girl (but I'm excited for a boy or a girl!)
Labor Signs: Nope!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Going to my first ultrasound in a little over a week - I am looking forward to finally catching a glimpse of this unseen child and hearing the heartbeat for the first time :)
