It is crazy to think that I am 3 weeks away from being halfway done! I feel (and look) way bigger than I am, but so far it has been another great journey. I know I have talked about the differences between both pregnancies before, it is something I just find really interesting. Lately I have felt like I look like I got hit by a bus, I don't feel like myself or feel like I look like myself. When I was pregnant with Everly I felt like I was glowing and I was never more confident than during that time. It is crazy how different pregnancies can be, I know that it sounds vain to talk about looks during pregnancy but I really just feel like a whale floating along.
This week I finished up the progesterone, it is always nerve racking doing that. Even though the placenta has completely taken over at this point I always get nervous because it's literally my lifeline for pregnancy.
Everly has started being more interested in the baby and she even calls him Jackson. She has brought the doppler over to me and said Jackson, so we find the heartbeat together and she gets so excited. It is so heartwarming to see and it gets me really emotional.
So far it has been a crazy ride, this week the weather has been perfect so Everly and I have gone to the zoo and went on some walks. I love being outside when the sun isn't melting the skin off your body. It is getting me really excited for the fall. I am also getting ready to do a series in November on my blog, it is going to be so much fun for the holidays and I also have a bunch of fall themed stuff for September/October! I have been wanting to expand for a while beyond just thoughts and pregnancy updates so I think this will be really fun!
How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain? I'm up 12 lbs which feels like a lot for only being 17 weeks aha. So looks like I have to pay more attention to what I'm eating.
Maternity clothes? Yep!
Stretch marks? Yeah, but mostly left over from my pregnancy with Everly.
Sleep? It has been better this week, I'm not waking up as much and I feel like I am getting good sleeps overall. Still taking afternoon naps with Everly most days though.
Best moment this week? Having Everly bring the doppler over and ask to hear her brother.
Miss anything? Nothing really stands out.
Movement? Yes! So exciting.
Food cravings? Nothing really stands out this week.
Anything making you feel sick or queasy? Lately my prenatal have been making me feel sick. I make sure I don't take them on an empty stomach but I still feel like death afterwards.
Showing? Yes, my stomach is actually firm now.
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor signs? None.
Symptoms? Still having those awful headaches. They really knock me on my ass. Thankfully they seem to be the worst later in the day so I am able to go rest once Kyle gets home.
Belly button in or out? In.
Happy or moody most of the time? I have been VERY emotional lately.
Looking forward to: Our 19 week scan to see baby!
