The Baby
Baby's now the size of a sweet potato! Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements.
The Mommy - In Theory
As your growing uterus starts shifting your center of gravity (belly forward, bottom out), hormones are causing your ligaments to relax and joints to loosen. The result? Back pain and soreness. On the bright side, if you want to know baby's gender, this might be your first week for a sneak peek.
The Mommy - For Real
I'm definitely feeling the soreness in my stomach as the ligaments start to stretch. Another thing my hormones are causing to relax...my tear ducts. I've cried twice at work this week (not in front of the students thank goodness.) I teared up today at any mention on war veterans or military personnel who've lost their lives in war. I've turned into a blubbering-for-no-reason kind of girl.
