17 weeks

It’s another happy Wednesday here!! My belly is growing, so is my ass, and I’m as happy as could be.  The other day I was thinking about how worried I’ve been that I might be a miserable pregnant person, but I’m not! After all I went through I worried I’d get one shot at pregnancy and it would be terrible, but I’m happy to say I’d do this over and over again.  Now I haven’t really been pregnant all that long and I’m not uncomfortable or anything so maybe give me more time to truly decide this, but it’s amazing.

Christmas is next week and my house is filled with Christmas cheer and love and I can’t wait for next year when we have a little one to decorate for and to put in a snowsuit and take lots and lots of pictures with.  The Christmas cards will be forever changed from here on out!  Speaking of Christmas cards, I think I’ll share ours next week. So keep your eye out for it!

That’s about all I have today.  Here are my 17 week pictures. You can definitely see that I’m getting bigger….not clear bump yet, but before you know it that belly will be sticking way out there!

 

 

 

• How far along are you? 17 weeks!

• Total weight gain: at my 16 week appointment I hadn’t gained anything yet. Although after my weekend of baking and eating I’m not so sure that’s still the case!

• How big is baby? About the size of a sweet potato or a small spear of asparagus

•  Maternity Clothes? Sometimes. I don’t REALLY need to wear maternity pants yet but soon I’ll need to.  As for tops, they’re getting more and more snug but they all still work, I’m just layering

• Stretch Marks? Nope! I’m applying lotion every day. My mom and sister both got stretch marks though so I will most likely get them too, apparently they’re hereditary.

• Sleep? As long as the dogs aren’t in the bed I can sleep like a rock!

• Best moment this week? Um IDK. Making lots of Christmas treats and eating them! Haha

• Movement? Yep! Not consistent but the taps are strong and I can’t even begin to imagine what they’ll feel like when the baby is bigger and stronger

• Food Cravings? Nothing in particular. I am loving sweets though which isn’t typical for me

• Food aversions? Nothing. I mentioned last week I’m not digging green tea. I haven’t tried it in a couple of weeks so I might be fine with it now

• Labor Signs? Nothing

• Belly Button in or out? IN!!

• What I miss? Still nothing! Errr maybe I miss people not analyzing how I look every single day

• What I’m looking forward to? Christmas next week and eating lots of yummy food!!

• Milestone? I’ve started  having sex again! Can we call that a milestone?  There was a period there where I wasn’t interested at all, but now I am.  Now like really interested, but I’m OK with it.  that sounds terrible…..
