17 Weeks




I was just trying a different place in the living room but it came out a little "artistic"...I wasn't going for this look but it's kind of sweet of mommy and baby

How far along? 17 Weeks

Total weight gain: 6 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes. Wore my new maternity bathing suit this week to the pool...it was GREAT! I wish I could wear it forever!!! So much more confident in a bathing suit with a big belly...call me crazy!

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Getting better...the couch is my new friend!!! Sleep so much better when leaning my back against it.

Best moment this week: Heard the heartbeat on the doppler right away..it was so cool!!!

Movement: Still not much...just a little "reminder" every day or two

Food cravings: peanut butter and jelly, gummi snacks, orange juice

Gender: Surprise!!! (Rob feels girl, I feel boy...only one can be right)

Labor Signs: No

What I miss: Hot dogs on the grill and salami sandwiches...but don't mind at all!

What I am looking forward to: Ordering my double stroller! (Baby Trend Sit n Stand Plus...has 2 seats now, but when Abigail is bigger it can be transitioned to 1 seat for Lil W and a bench for Abigail to ride on when need be.)

Weekly Wisdom: I am just telling myself to enjoy this! I really do enjoy every single day I'm pregnant!!!

Milestones: *This week is my 2nd check for a cerclage...if we make it through this week and the 20 week check, I'll be clear if it! *Showing more this week and enjoying my little belly! *Starting to think of names and purchases...big milestone for us!

You look great!!! I feel another girl because I think Abigail needs a little sister. If she is as cool as me, Abigail will be a lucky girl.
