BB is now roughly the size of a carrot, according to babycenter.com

Why is it that all of the size references are foods anyway? The book I’m reading, Waiting For Birdy by Catherine Newman (who coincidentally used to write a column for babycenter.com), brings this up and it really is such a valid point. A little bit creepy if you ask me. Anyway babycenter.com also wants me to know that Baby Blueberry weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — I should really start feeling more movements soon and I’m beginning to think I’ve been feeling some movements and just didn’t recognize them. I suspect BB might not be as superly active as her big brother was and that some of the “pains” I’ve been feeling briefly are similar to when MM used to dig his heel into my chest and leave it there for like hours until I started to develop a bruise and excrutiating pain. Because my son is abusive to his poor old momma. BB seems to be doing similar type stunts, I think, just with a little less brutal force. Which I think is sweet of her. In other developments, her eyebrows and lids are present now and her vagina has begun to form as well. Super.

Other than that, things have been pretty normal. I honestly cannot for the love of me decide if I’ve gained any weight. Maybe a pound or two? But that’s so insignificant a number that I’m not even sure if it’s real and it fluctuates day by day. So whatever. I think my stomach is getting more defined and my husband swears I’m getting smaller in every other regard so that’s pretty cool. My next doctor’s appointment is the 23rd so I’ll be able to tell you more then. In the meantime, yeah. Looking good.
