17 weeks

sticking it out a bit...
*Baby Bump*

STATS:

Baby's size: Sweet potato

How far along: 17 weeks. :) (I'm really 17 weeks and 3 days)

Total weight gain: yea, I'm probably not going to be answering this question. ever.

Sleep: I'm sleeping sooo much better. I'm up usually only up once a night now (to cough) and can fall back asleep.

Maternity Clothes: Love them. I wear my regular yoga pants to work with a maternity long sleeve t-shirt (for the length) and a zip up. Im starting to wear more dresses and I can't wait till it gets a bit warmer so I can wear dresses all the time.

Food cravings: I love me some chips, anything crunchy and salty. Now its cereal. the sugary the better.

Food aversions: The first trimester it was coffee. Nothing as of right now.

Symptoms I HAVE: hmmm symptoms. I think I am just getting my energy back as of yesterday 2/20/12 actually but i don't want to jinx it. Other than the fatigue nothing really, no frequent peeing, no throwing up (except when I'm brushing my teeth. ew.)


Stretchmarks: none. hopefully ever.

Doctor’s Appointment: My next appointment is March 6th, for the anatomy/ 2nd trimester scan. And then I have an appointment with my Midwife the following Tuesday. I switched from my Obs office with 10 drs. to a Midwife group with about 4 midwives, that has a birthing center and is attached to the hospital with a level 3 NICU. I think I will be much happier with them.

Movement: The flutters started at exactly 17 weeks! such a weird sensation feeling that little chinchilla bubbling around in there.

Belly Button: innie. My crater of a belly button is very deep. I don't see it becoming an outtie ever. But I guess time will tell.

Gender: ?????

Best moment of the week: feeling Baby for the very first time. Cant wait till Travis can feel it.

What I’m looking forward to: Finishing the registry.

What I miss: I did miss coffee. ALOT. I gave it up completely in the first trimester and then I developed an aversion to everything about it. I now drink about a cup a day, probably a little less- I never finish it. I do miss my waistline, and being able to work out hardcore and running. But that will start again come August, so I will take this little break.
