That ticker didn't change fruit with the change in weeks. Baby is about 6 inches long and about the width of my palm. He or she is getting brown fat deposits, a fat that helps with body heat.
Not much has changed in the way I feel since last week. The biggest thing is exhaustion. I do feel like my belly is looking more and more like there's a baby in there. I like it!
I had some lab work last week (blood and urine) and am awaiting the results. Fingers crossed. I did get some of the results back within a couple days. A nurse from my OB's office called to tell me I had a urinary tract infection (UTI) and a prescription was waiting for me. After some freaking out, research into the condition, the drug, and some contemplation, I started the meds. Then, the next day, I got another call from my OB's office saying they sent my urine sample in for further testing (a culture) and found that in fact I do not have a UTI, I just didn't do the urine sample right. Apparently I was supposed to do a "clean catch." If you're like me and have no clue what that means, here's a link with instructions: clean catch urine sample. I didn't do that. At all.
In other news, we just returned from Reno, Nevada after visiting my dear friend, Karen, and her family. That's where the baby bump photo was taken this week. She just had her second baby, Alex, in September. Now her family is complete. We loved spending lots of time with her, her husband, Andre, and their two sons, Markus (2 years) and Alex (4.5 months). Believe me we took lots of notes about everything - their gear, the way they set up the nursery, their routine, tricks, feeding, diaper changing, tag-team parenting, the list goes on. I am always amazed at the constant needs of infants and children! It's just non-stop. But it didn't scare us, it just made us more excited to have our own little one with us soon. Here's a photo of the two of us earlier today:
