Size of the baby: Baby Barrett is now the size of a mango, approx..6 inches long &approx .5lbs.
Total Weight Gain/loss: I have gained 5lbs and as you can see from the picture there is definitely a little bump there now =)
Maternity Clothes: I can still fit in most of my regular clothes, aside from the fact that my jeans will no longer button. I finally went and bought a belly band from Target and let me tell you, that is a lifesaver. I have been wearing most of my maternity tops now because they are a little longer in the front to accommodate the growing baby belly. Also I am totally in LOVE with leggings and sweaters, much comfier than tight jeans.
Gender: SURPRISE!! We are not going to find out till Baby Barrett arrives in May!
Movement: Definitely have been feeling some little flutters. Especially at night, I think we may have a night owl on our hands. It is the craziest and most amazing feeling in the world.
Sleep: Sleeping okay. I am really not normally a side sleeper. I have always slept on my stomach so I am trying hard to get used to my new sleeping position.
What I miss: Not having smells literally have me running for the bathroom.
Cravings: My latest craving has been salami. Hubs made me the most delicious sandwich on Christmas Eve and I have had one everyday since then =).
Symptoms: There's a new one this week, HEARTBURN. Something I have never experienced before and let me tell you it is not a pleasant symptom, but it is better than the morning sickness.
Best moment this week: Showing off the baby bump at Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner, also Baby Barrett received some adorable presents, which was quite touching!

You look wonderful Amanda! Such a wonderful time for you, Brian and your families!
P.S. Sent you a little video link via email...
Looking cute as can be. Heartburn is a good thing...that means your baby will have nice hair. This is the only "wise tale" I have found to be semi true! HA Enjoy the rest of your break from school as it goes way to fast.
