How far along? 17 Weeks (that's almost half way done, people!!)
Total weight gain/loss: Almost 10 lbs gained
Maternity clothes? It's beginning...regular non/maternity shirts are starting to look a bit snug.
Sleep: Not nearly as much required now compared to the early weeks...but I still get tired easily if I over do it, and some days I'm just really tired! (Could it be from chasing around Quinn?!)
Best moment this week: My doctor appointment yesterday (7/25). Quinn was with me, and as I was lying down to have the baby's heartbeat checked, I looked over to see Quinn's eyes big as saucers and grinning from ear to ear. It was such a special moment for me to take in the sounds from one child (their beating heart, strong and healthy!) and to be able to see the excitement and curiousity in my other child.
Movement: I felt the baby's first kicks last night at around 10pm when I was trying to go to sleep. I loved it! I had to run downstairs to let Steve know, even though it'll be many more weeks before he
can feel the kicks.
Food cravings: Lot of salty stuff :(
Basically, what I liked before I was pregnant, I just crave food more frequently!
Gender: I think boy, Steve thinks girl. We're not finding out!
Labor Signs: None, thankfully :)
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Nothing. I can honestly say I am currently enjoying everything there is about pregnancy.
What I am looking forward to: Our ultrasound on August 15th.
Weekly Wisdom: I'm going to enjoy this pregnancy as thoroughly as I can, because it might be my last. And being pregnant is truly one of the coolest experiences in this life!
Happy Tuesday, All!
Fun!
