Almost 4 1/2 inches from head to bottom and weighs 3 1/2 ounces

Baby Changes (Source: BabyCenter.com)

In the next few weeks, the baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Best Moment this Week

This week was low on pregnancy stuff - last week was the week where I first felt the baby and when I went maternity shopping for the first time. I guess my favorite day this week was mine and Casey's 6 year anniversary since our first date - we went to Simply Fondue and talked about how crazy it was that 6 years later we are married, living in our first house, and having a baby! :)

Gender

4 more days until the 3D appointment next week!!

Movement

Have only felt the baby move two or three times - looking forward to more of it!

Food Craving

Caesar Salad, fruit (especially apples), and popcorn and jalapenos!!

Sleep

sleeping better at night but waking up in the mornings with a really sore back! Been sleeping with a pregnancy pillow some to see if it helps. 

What I am looking forward to

my 3D appointment on November 17th and finding out if the baby is a boy or a girl!!

Symptoms

sore back and that's it!
