17 Weeks!


Time is flyin'...

How Far Along? 17 Weeks. 

How Big is Baby?  As big as a yellow onion. 

Total Weight Gain: Stopped weighing myself. 

Maternity Clothes? I can still squeeze into most of my pre-pregnancy shirts, I'm in all maternity pants now though.

Stretch Marks? Found one on my hip. I think it may have been from before but it freaked me out.

Sleep: Pregnancy pillow is here now so that should help things a lot!

Best Moment this Week: Our crib & pregnancy pillow came in the mail. I also got a new parenting book that we're loving, it's called "Superbaby." It's not about creating a "Super" baby, just about parenting to you and your child's full potential and gaining trust & boundaries with one another. I love it and it's helped me a lot with my parenting worries. We've only just cracked it opened and have already learned so much.

Miss Anything: Nothing really.

Movement: Sadly, no bubbles this week. I felt so many last week and now nothin'. Pretty soon I'll feel those kicks!

Food Cravings: Purple laffy taffy.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope.

Gender: We'll know for sure in just 25 days! Starting to wonder now if our midwife was wrong because I keep hearing of so many stories of people who thought they're baby was one gender and came out another...like I heard at least 4 or 5 this week. So we'll be more confident in 25 days :) 

Symptoms:  Insomnia & round ligament pain are really it right now.

Looking Forward to: Knowing for sure of our baby's gender. We already feel so close to our baby and I know that once we know for sure who is growing in my tummy that we're going to fall in love even more! We are set on both of our names now (again) so it will just be fun to know who they are.
