Best moment this week: Being able to spend time with my hubby.
Movement: Still very very active at night and the early hours of the morning.
Food cravings: Baby salad leaves. I drink a lot of water about 5 liters a day I'm always thirsty.

Belly button in or out? Its out and there is no turning back, its actually tender when I touch it. Dont know if that is normal.
