So far, the 2nd trimester has proved to be what everyone was telling me. I am over, for the most part, the nausea and all that goes along with that. I am still waiting on the energy to come back but I am dealing. The eating still proves to be tricky. I can't handle any meat right now which is odd because that use to be my favorite! The cravings have set in full throttle and lately I have found myself longing for a good Fuego salad with a side of lime rice. I have talked about it so much that Zach is sick of it. He finally broke the news to me, "Fuego closed two years ago Erica, stop thinking about it". Last Friday I was wanting it so bad that I was willing to fight the man that put them out of business. . .how dare he, doesn't he know about pregnant women and the cravings they have. So please, if you know him, remind Mr. Fuego of that and tell him he can find me in Oxford!
Let me remind you of the planner I am and how bad it is killing me that I still don't know what "kind of" baby I am having! So August 11th can not come fast enough! Keep Baby King in your prayers as we approach this day. At this appointment we will also be taking a detailed look at all of the babies organs to make sure they are all functioning properly.
From Babycenter:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. 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.
