How far along: 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up 2 as of my last appointment a week ago, but holy cow, I feel like I'm huge already! My belly got really big with Olivia but I have a feeling it will be even bigger this time around. yikes!
Maternity clothes: I had to start wearing maternity pants pretty early on...like 8 weeks. I'm in a mixture of regular/my maternity shirts still.
Stretch marks: Nothing new, yet. My old ones are beginning to get colorful again, though.
Sleep: I'm beginning to get more of that now! I was up 5-6 times per night to use the restroom and then it would take me a bit to go back to sleep each time. I'm down to only getting up 1-2x per night so I'm sleeping much better. yay!
Best moment this week: Scheduling our u/s appointment. It's still a month away, but at least it's scheduled!
Movement: I'm pretty sure I've been feeling movement off & on for about 3 weeks now. I thought I was crazy and it was too early, but I guess with 3 so close together I'm more in-tune with the feeling? Nothing consistent or defined, though. I have a feeling it won't be long
Food cravings: pulled pork sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, oatmeal
Gender: don't know yet...but I'm thinking boy. Everyone else thinks another girl, though. We'll see!
Labor signs: nope
Belly button in or out: already becoming wider/deeper. bleh
What I miss: my hair not falling out. I thought that was supposed to be post-partum?!
What I am looking forward to: Finding out the gender & letting the girls know. Sophia was wanting another sister, but she's changed her mind and now wants a brother. I'm anxious to see her reaction when we know for sure
Weekly wisdom: There's no use getting bothered/worked up when people make the comment "oh, so I guess you were trying for a boy?" or "I'll bet you hope this one is a boy!" and so on and so forth. No people, I want a happy, healthy baby! I know they don't mean anything by it, but I hate it that people think we weren't happy with our 2 girls and/or wouldn't be happy with 3 of them
Milestone: Made it well into the 2nd trimester and only "got sick" a couple of times. =)
If this one is a girl, will you keep trying for a boy? ;)
ReplyDeleteDo you know what is causing this yet?
Are you still telling people when you hate their shoes?
That's all I've got for now.
I think we're up for trying for a boy until we hit 5 kids. Anything over 5 girls is just a disappointment. ;) (kidding kidding) I have an appointment with a specialist in December to see if we can figure out what's happening. As for the shoes, my apologies. Technically I didn't tell him I didn't like HIS shoes, just that I didn't like those kind of shoes. :) however, I no longer tell people my opinions on their shoes.
