17 weeks and 1 day

An idea stolen from other preggo bloggers ~ a good way to update since I don't feel like I have much to say right now!

How far along? 17 weeks and 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: +7 -- right in the middle of where it should be right now
Maternity clothes? I loved my belly band, but now I'm loving the maternity shorts I have (thanks Jill!) so much easier than dealing with the silly band all day!
Stretch marks? Not yet
Sleep: Better now that I try to limit water intake after 6:30pm
Best moment this week: Being able to have a couple days to just relax and watch SATC
Movement: One for sure movement, other times where I think it was, but not sure
Food cravings: Pasta --- all pasta! And popcicles!
Gender: I change my mind every day!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie
What I miss: Summer drinking ... *sighs*
What I am looking forward to: The ultrasound in 3 weeks -- and starting on the nursery
Weekly Wisdom: Hmm... I'm not feeling any wisdom bits right now
Milestones: That one moment where I knew I felt baby move!
Realization of the week: Maternity clothes are comfy -- why don't people where them all the time??

16 weeks

Second round of belly shots -- gonna stick w/ the monthly pics from here on out.


I'm still feeling good -- my back gets sore if I'm on my feet too long, I love popcicles, and I can't stop rubbing my tummy and staring at it in the mirror :)

15 weeks 3 days

Hello readers :)

We had another OB check up today - it all went well. I'm cleared to go back to regular activity, my OB (remember I had to see someone else during the ER scare and follow up) agrees it was probably the meds that caused the bleeding, maybe even a weird allergic reaction.

It took her a while to find baby's heartbeat because first her machine needed new batteries, and then baby wasn't cooperating :) I pictured him/her in there moving all over and trying to kick the pressure it was getting. We could hear the sounds from all the movement of baby - but no heartbeat until doctor held my belly in a way that baby couldn't move anymore!

We'll have the big 20 week update on July 16th and hopefully will know if we're team pink or blue then!!
