How far along?: 17 Weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 1.8 lbs. (Up 1 lbs now). I would really like to be aiming to gain 1 lbs a week, but I’m not going to stress about it. Especially because I am alway so hungry now!
How Big is Baby: My baby is the size of an onion or a baked potato.
Maternity clothes?: Its all I wear.
Stretch Marks: No. I’m trying to hold them off with moisturizing soap every day and sometimes I put oil on my belly. What is going on though is that my pregnant parts (belly, boobs) are ITCHY!
Sleep: I’m starting to get less, but I think this is because my days are filling up. For the past two nights, I haven’t gotten home until 9pm and then I have to eat dinner – so I’ve been going to bed later. I am tired, but its not terrible. I love getting into bed every night though!
Best moment this week: Bought the first things I have ever bought for the baby this week – a Diaper Genie and a thermometer.
Movement: Possibly slightly, but this is very rare. It makes me question if what I felt was even movement.
Food cravings: Comfort food like bread, soup, and noodles
Food aversions: Healthy food – but I think it is because healthy food takes longer to prepare, and most of the time I am so hungry that I just need something FAST! So fast healthy food is fine – like the premade salad I had last night.
Gender: Dan is certain that our baby is a boy. I have absolutely no idea.
Labor signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out?: A shallow innie.
What I miss: I still think I’m mourning for most of my TV shows that I don’t watch now because I am in bed instead.
What I am looking forward to: Feeling the baby kick!
Weekly wisdom: Don’t stress. Work with your spouse as a team!
Milestones: Bought the first (of many) things for our baby!
Baby bump picture of the week: Its a little late (the blog post was written but the picture was not take because I have really not even been home since Tuesday). Meet my baby (and please ignore Mom’s red eyes):
