Week 17

How far Along: 17 weeks

Maternity clothes: No...BUT some of my work pants are beginning to get tight around the waist. My jeans all fit pretty well but ummm, I must admit, I'm not in any hurry to go buy a new wardrobe so I'll wear my clothes as long as I can :-)


Weight Gain: I still haven't really gained much...maybe 3 pounds. I can't eat alot at once so I eat alot throughout the day. If I sit down to eat dinner, or even lunch, I get SO full so quick. I'm guessing its becuase there is less room?! I haven't noticed any increase in appetite really either. Although, on the weekly update I get it did say the baby would be going into a growth spurt over the next few weeks, so I may start to notice a difference sooner than later.

Stretch Marks: nope
On the sleep topic, my poor husband has to be bored with me. On weekends, I can't stay up IF we are at home. If I'm busy, out and about, I'm fine. But the second I sit on the couch, I'm out...even if its 8pm. We got a movie Friday night and I think I lasted past the previews but not sure. I am exhausted in the evenings AND i thought this would be better in the 2nd trimester but its not yet!! (see pic below)

Best Moment of the week: Seeing the baby was healthy and growing as she should and of course finding out its a GIRL!!!

Gender:  see above :-)

What I miss:  Not having crazy dreams and sleeping better than I am now.

Symptoms:  I still am fairly symptom free. I have noticed more headaches lately and my lower back aches alot.

Cravings:  Cravings have subsided recently. I was craving ice cream, which I still do but with less intensity. I think now I'm just used to eating ice cream so I want it. Other than that,  I crave fruit related food, so thats a plus!

What I'm looking forward to: Finally I can buy things for a baby girl! I haven't purchased one thing because I didn't know what the baby was going to be...I'm free to shop and plan the nursery accordingly now! woo hoo


Matt took this picture of me and both dogs passed out on the couch Friday night (probably at 8:30pm)! Isn't he sweet!   I am only posting it for a good laugh...you can barely see little Sig's ears in the back behind Brice!!




Sleep: I have been having crazy dreams and lots of them...I don't like this change!! I feel like I'm never in a deep sleep! Plus from my dreams (Ill spare the details) I think I have anxiety of something happening in general to the baby/pregnancy. I worry about everything, so this is no big surprise!
