Lil' Baby Engle: 6 Months & Nursery Progress

YAHOOO...6 Monthss!! (24 weeks) today

We have reached the Viability milestone, meaning that Trenton could actually survive outside of the womb now. That is insane. But, I dont want to promote/think/celebrate that.. stay in there lil guy! Keep cookin'.

Trenton is a little over a foot & 1 lb. (He is a little person!)

My uterus is now the size of a basketball and sitting on top of my pelvis bone.. no wonder i'm uncomfortable. He is lean but will now begin to plump up .. which means I will to! Ahhh! It is said that he will gain about 1/2 lb this week alone. His brain is growing quickly now, taste buds are continuing to develop & his lungs are developing the "branches" of the respiratory "tree" system.

Symptoms update:

"Common physical symptoms at this stage in your pregnancy include constipation, heart burn, bloating, indigestion, headaches, dizziness, nasal congestion, bleeding gums, increased appetite, leg cramps, swelling, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, itchy stomach, protruding naval, backache, skin changes, fuller breasts, carpal tunnel, tingly hands and feet, and clumsiness."

.. Yep, that pretty much wraps it up haha. Naw, its not that bad, but surprisingly I do check off most of that list (don't worry, I will spare you the details and won't point out which ones). I am definitely feeling him more now that he is bigger and stronger. I can also see him moving from the outside now. So crazy to sit there and watch your body move. I am sure all you mommies remember that and the feeling like it was yesterday. So incredible.

At this point some people say, "WOW, you have grown! Look at that." others say, "no way you are 6 months! you are so tiny".. not sure what to believe but I sure don't feel "Tiny" haha. I guess that is the nice thing to say to a pregnant woman and I will take that over the alternative or "the look" like I mentioned previously.

Nursery Progress..
