♥This Early Morning Makes for My 6th Month.
posted on Thursday, May 14, 2009.
Whats new? Daxton 22Wks and counting... •Daxton reacts to loud sounds. •He starts having a regular sleeping and waking rhythm. •His Mommy's movements can wake him. •Taste buds are forming on your his tongue. •Daxton is approx. 28cm long (crown to heel) and weighs over 450 grams. •The weekly weight gain has increased to around 70 grams. Daxton is about 11 inches long and weighs in at about 1 pound. His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed, and the fingernails cover the fingertips. Sounds from a conversation are loud enough to be heard by him in the uterus. If you talk, read, or sing to him, it's reasonable to expect him to be able to hear you. I have noticed Daxton is very aware and alert now. If i touch my belly he responds almost immediatly and if i roll over while I'm sleeping, or change positions to get comfortable he starts moving and kicking for a few minutes before settling back down. Hes so big now that when he kicks you can usually see movement on the outside of my belly if you are watching. I'm Sleepy Ive been really tired this past week and I cant seem to stop yawning. I haven't really wanted to do much, and when i do go out and do something i feel like i need a nap afterwards. Ironically I'm so tired but then when morning comes i cant sleep. This is the third time i have been up around seven o'clock in the morning in the past week because i just cant stay asleep and if i stay in bed i usually just toss and turn trying to get comfortable and rolling from side to side takes so much effort in itself, i may as well just get out of bed. Add Salt I'm still craving salty food and I want to add salt to alot of things, which isn't like me. Other than when I'm cooking i don't really ever add salt to my food. For the most part Ive been craving really salty french fries with ketchup which is also not the norm for me, im usually not really a ketchup person, its not that i don't like it or anything its just not a staple food to me and im assuming i want it because it has a really salty taste. My belly itches, and Daxton, could you move over a little bit? My belly's been itching, especially if i forget to put lotion on it. Thanks to my wonderful caring boyfriend Ive been using Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter, which i LOVE LOVE LOVE. It works so well and smells so very good. I like it because its not greasy, but its still thick. I took care of my skin and didn't get any stretch marks when i was pregnant with Vincent, and so far i have none this time either. Just an itchy belly. Daxton loves to push out against my belly making it really hard and tight feeling, and plan uncomfortable. Its where, for the most part, he stays. As if he doesn't want to miss anything that's going on. A Third Birthday Vincents third birthday is in about two weeks. I'm so proud of him, hes such a happy little boy and hes getting so big so fast. Too fast. It doesn't seem like three years has passed yet, i still feel like we just brought him home from the hospital. Time flys when you become a mother, the years seem to pass in a blink of an eye. Sometimes i lay in bed with him when hes sleeping just staring at him, its almost as if hes a little stranger sleeping in my bed, hes grown so fast and i think to myself ... 'Who are you? When did you get so big, and who will you be next year or the year after, what will you be like, or what will you look like? Still the same in so many ways but different in so many small ways that make you a new person.'
