17 weeks!

How far along: 17 weeks!

(Bump picture to *maybe* come) 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 5-7 pounds depending on the scale. Haha. 

Maternity clothes: I've worn a couple of my old maternity shirts that I found. They a still a little baggy but it's nice to wear things that are comfortable and loose fitting. 

Stretch marks: Not from this one yet.   

Sleep:  Our neighbors' dogs are kind of the worst during the night. I am a light sleeper so I wake up really easily. They bark SO loud almost every night. Like to the point where I got out of bed and got dressed and was about to walk out the door to tell them to stop barking when they finally stopped. Taylor suggested I wear ear plugs. I've been listening to "rain sounds" on my phone so as to drown it out. Miserably enough, I can still hear them barking through my headphones! Not as loudly but I've gotta figure something our before I go crazy! 

Best moment this week: We found out the gender of our little babe! We are going to be having another wild little boy running around here! Pretty nervous but also super excited!! 

Worst moment this week: I've been stretched really thin with all my appointments and my church calling and trying to do so much that I end up forgetting things or just getting stressed and letting things get to me. Gotta step back and take a breath and let it go. 

Movement: I have been feeling a lot of movements! Feeling little flutters as I write this! Seeing our little babe moving like crazy on the ultrasound got me excited but also reaffirmed my nervousness about two wild boys! 

Food cravings: We made roast and had my moms cheesy potatoes last week for dinner one week and it was super yummy. My favorite part of the meal was the fresh corn on the cob- SO good! I've been wanting more ever since that. I've also been loving fresh fruit like strawberries and nectarines. We also got to go to a work dinner party for Tay's work to Rodizio Grill and the strawberry and coconut Brazilian lemonade was AMAZING. I would go back just for that. And the grilled pineapple. 

Aversions: Bananas and yogurt.   

Queasy/Sick: Mostly feeling really good. I still have random moments when I feel queasy but for the most part, if I remember to eat then I'm good! 

Other Symptoms: Exhaustion. Haha.  

Gender: BOY! 

Labor signs: Nope!

Belly button - in or out? In. 

What I miss: Sushi!! I had a huge craving for it this week. 

What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery all put together now that I know he is for sure a boy! Excited to start organizing. :) 

Milestones: We found out the gender and I am almost half way (for me)!
