This Week:
Baby weighs nearly 3 pounds!
Baby is shedding lanugo.
Spinning Babies: This week I was working to get baby flipped into position. Some tricks I learned from the Spinning Babies website:
*Don't lounge on the couch. Try to sit straight with your hips above your knees.
*Crawling around is good for helping baby get into position.
*Try a modified "downward dog" position with your knees on the edge of the couch and your forearms on the floor to help baby turn.
*If you're going to lay down, do it on your left side.
Belly Button: flat, but nearing an outward position
Cravings: Yes, randomly. One day I was dying for a coke (and yes, I know they are terrible for you). All I really needed was a couple of sips, but for some reason, I just really wanted one. Also, one day I had to have a burger. Maybe my body was craving beef? Lacking iron? I don't really know, but nothing was going to do unless I ate a burger. And one night, I literally dreamt about french crullers!
Baby Activity: This baby is still super active! No more waiting until the evenings when I sit down to rest. This little one makes his presence known all day long!
Sleep: Getting worse. I toss and turn for an hour or two until I can get comfortable enough to finally fall asleep at night. And then in the morning, when I'm actually sleeping nicely, I have to get up because Little Guy has gone back to school!
Exercise: Walking about 20 minutes 3-4 times a week.
Baby Purchases: A pepto-pink changing table for $10, that I cleaned up and painted a fun orange! Also, my parents bought Baby Boo Boo a travel system that I just love from Babies R Us! :)
