17 Weeks

How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I am up about 4 pounds, yikes.

Maternity clothes? I still have just the one shirt but Natalie is bringing me over her maternity clothes to look through later today and next week I am planning on going to find some new work clothes. 

Sleep: I still get up at least once to pee and have become quite warm at night now but other than that I sleep well

Best moment this week: Friday I had a doctors appointment and got to hear the heart beat again.
Movement: I can randomly feel little movemnts from baby

Food cravings:  Ice cream, I was craving ice cream at like 10:00 the other night but Kevin wouldn't go get me any so I had to suffer 

Food Aversions: None this week

Gender: Still a surprise

Labor Signs:  Too early

Pregnancy Symptoms:  My big belly, congestion that will apparently last the entire pregnancy, hip pain

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss:  Not having to trim my nails every week. They are seriously growing so fast

What I am looking forward to:  Our first appointment  with the midwife

Upcoming appointments/events:  End of February

Milestones: Feeling baby movements


This week was was another boring week. I did take some time one evening to go a class to learn about the Rain Drop Massage. I always enjoy the times I get to spend with my oily friends learning more about our oils and how amazing they are. Tonight we are having Kevin's family over for the super bowl. (I don't care for either team but I am routing for the falcons) We have been trying to stay more connected and spend more time with family. When we found out about little Baby E Kevin decided he wanted to try to get his siblings together once a month for dinner and time together. It is really nice to finally have our house put together enough that we can invite people in and spen quality time together.
