Week 17

How far along? 17 weeks, 5 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 9 lbs...too many :( Gotta stop eating potatoes every meal.

Maternity clothes: I love them. I want to live in them. Forever. 

Stretch marks? No. 

Sleep: I never sleep well the night before I post these blogs. Should sleep well tonight! 

Best moment this week: Seeing baby girl kicking and being alive. More on this. 

Miss anything? Mango margaritas, hot baths, activated glutes. 

Movement: Now that I've seen her kicking me, the kicks I thought I was feeling were not kicks.

Food cravings: POTATOES. So sad to be told to cut them out. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? The weirdest things...usually words. I get grossed out so easily now. 

Gender: Baby girl. 

Labour signs: No, thank goodness! 

Symptoms: Sore legs and glutes, nausea has returned

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy...and worried. 

Looking forward to: the Just Between Friends sale on Thursday! I am hoping to get a stroller. 

So I fell this week while playing with Lucy. I sat on the floor and bawled like a baby for 15 minutes, hurting, but mostly scared. Texted the doctor and she said everything seemed okay, but I asked her to come in anyway. I slept terribly, just so stressed out about my baby girl. Luckily they were able to get me in for an ultrasound at 2 pm today. Right away we saw her trying her best to suck on her fingers, heart beating away, and kicking my cervix with everything she had. I am feeling very grateful that I can't feel those kicks, to be honest...though  on the flip side, I am ready for them to start up. :)
