How far along: 17 weeks on Sunday, June 22, 2014
Countdown: 23 weeks to go
Gender: ???
Baby’s size: Baby weighs about as much as a turnip {5 inches & 5 ounces}
Weight gain: 11 lbs. {sounds like a lot to me, but my total body weight is still down 10 pounds from this point in Andrew’s pregnancy and about 15 from Caitlyn’s!}
Maternity clothes: Yes.
Belly button {in or out}: In
Sleep: Good. “Sleeping in” is fabulous {yes, I consider 6:15-6:30 am to be sleeping in!}
Best moment(s) this week: Hearing baby’s heartbeat for the first time {what a sweet, sweet sound!}, waiting for the camp van each morning with the girls, relaxing with Andrew, taking the girls to their ballet and hip hop dance classes, a small shopping trip at our local and new Home Goods store, a trip to the natural history museum, baking s’more bars, and the Beach Boys concert and picnic at the local arboretum. I guess this was a busy week!
Miss anything: Not really
Movement: None. I was hoping to feel some by now, but this little one is good at hiding! I can feel where my uterus is, but no baby kicks yet.
Cravings: Chewy candy, especially if it’s sour.
Symptoms: Not really. I am doing well overall.
Queasy or sick: No, not at all.
Looking forward to: Feeling this little stinker move around and {totally unrelated to this pregnancy} getting a haircut! I need something new 🙂
