17 weeks...

and holy bump batman!!

today was cowboy day at work...

How Far Along: 17 Weeks

Size of baby:

 

Gender: we'll find out Nov 18 and it can't get here soon enough

Maternity Clothes: a few pair of maternity jeans, since my regular ones are getting tight! I'm wearing regular tops and dresses! 

Weight gain:as of last week's appt 5 llbs total

Movement: Nothing official yet, but I am starting to feel different twinges etc so hopefully soon!

Sleep: A few charley horses (my OB said it was due to increase in Estrogen), CRAZY dreams and of course potty time, but other than that my sleep is fine!

Symptoms: Heart burn. My OB wants me to take Zantac twice a day, but I haven't been very faithful about that. I also cannot eat much in one sitting. The food literally stops in my upper stomach and I feel awful until it settles. Ugh.

Oh and lovely pimples. 

Cravings: French onion soup from Panera. I literally have eaten 3 bowls this month alone. I never really ate it before. Weird!!

Best moment this week: Last week's appt and hearing Minnow's heart beat (very strong 144) and seeing my belly grow!

I literally saw it the other day and was shocked, it's not bloat, it's a baby!! 

I sent B this text:

Pregnancy Highlights: I'm just amazed at God's creation. I cannot believe this little thing can already hear, detect light, has sweat glands and has toenails. Crazy yet such a sweet reminder at how awesome God is!
