How far along: 17 weeks
Baby Size: A hockey puck or an onion.
Weight: 126.4, up .2 lbs from last week.
Symptoms:
Maternity Clothes: No, but I'm down to one pair of jeans that are comfortable. I have one more that I can use the hair-tie trick on. I am going to wash a few more to see how they work. I have no maternity shirts for when I need them though.
Sleep: I had two good nights and then the up all night every night started again. I got some unisom, but I'm nervous to take it (even though my ob suggested it).
Cravings/Food Aversions: Lots of fruit. I wish it was cheaper though because I spent more on grapes than I want to admit.
I can eat most things (other than meat), but in small portions.
Belly Button: In
Rings on or off: On, but they have always been a little loose so I think they will fit for a while.
Gender: I'm really thinking girl. I'd love a daughter or a son, but I think I will be surprised if it winds up being a boy. Not in a disappointing way, but surprised.
Name: Not sure if it's a girl, pretty sure if it's a boy.
Movement: No, although I try really hard to see if I feel anything sometimes.
Best moment: We were really blessed to have some stuff given to us yesterday by family. We got a swing/bouncer (although the swing part isn't working; Rob's going to have to figure it out), a play mat, a crib (we had one, but this matches better), a diaper bag, a bassinet and a few misc things. Rob even has the crib mostly put together. Being down to one income has put a freeze on baby spending so I feel so thankful for people who are giving us things.
Looking forward to: Finding out if baby is a boy or girl next week.
What I miss: Diet coke (I've had the caffeine free version but it isn't as good)
Labor signs: Nope, and I'd be okay if they stay away for another 20 weeks
Appointments: The a/s in one week! 20 week appointment on May 14.
Misc. I am starting to feel uncomfortable when I am sitting and lean forward. I can't sit like that anymore.
I'm also a little bit freaking out about that fact that the anatomy scan is next week. I posted about it here. I know the purpose isn't to find out the sex of the baby, it's to check development. Finding out is a bonus. I just can't believe I'm already at that point. I'm nervous also because I just want to know that the baby is healthy and doesn't have any issues.
Baby Size: A hockey puck or an onion.
Weight: 126.4, up .2 lbs from last week.
Symptoms:
- Really tired
- Super hungry lately
- Smelling things that aren't anywhere nearby
- Winded very easily. Like walking up the stairs with a laundry basket leaves me out of breath. It could be that I'm super out of shape though.
- Gassy ::hangs head in embarrassment:: Most are odorless, but I almost dutch ovened myself the other day
- Sensitive; I've been crying more
- This is a little tmi but I heard the term lightning crotch after getting pregnant and didn't understand what it meant. I just experienced it last night. Ouch Ouch.

Those anatomy scans are nerve wracking, because as moms we are all a bit neurotic, lol. But when they tell you everything looks great, what a moment of relief. Then you figure out something else to worry about! Congrats on baby!

ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I felt the same anxiety about the anatomy scan, I think that's totally normal! Thanks for sharing with the Tuesday Baby Link Up Community. I hope you'll keep linking up and sharing as you progress.
