17 Week Bumpdate

The last few weeks have been a bit crazy. I had a really bad fall down some icy stairs and luckily had my doctors appointment the next day so I was able to hear the heart beat and everything and was calmed. I've been having awful ligament stretching and last night was the WORST! It was so painful I was close to tears. Clearly labor is going show even more that my tolerance for pain is nonexistent. But through it all I know I'm so blessed and am so happy to be carrying this little human! 


How Far Along:
17 weeks and 2 days

Size of baby:  
Apparently the size of a tangy pomegranate. Or a turnip. The little peanut is 5 inches and weighs 5-5.9oz. :) 

Total Weight Gain:
I forgot to weigh myself this morning and seeing as it's thanksgiving today's weight may not be accurate. I'll save that for next week ;)

Stretch Marks:  Still just a few on my armpits that are disappearing. My belly and waist are safe for now. 

Maternity Clothes:
Still none! I've looked but can't bring to buy myself some because I just look chubby instead of pregnant right now lol. 

Gender: 
We get to find out December 18th! We are having a Christmas-themed gender reveal party. If you want to come please tell me so I can invite you!! Everyone is welcome :) 

Movement:  This child is an acrobat of some sort. And super speedy. I will feel movement on my left then a minute later I will feel a strong kick on my right! Guess the little peanut is trying to stay active since heaven knows I haven't been doing a good job of it! 

Belly Button in or out?:
Still an innie. No sight of the bottom yet. It's like a never ending canyon. 

Sleep: 
I've been sleeping fine. I wake up on my back every time I wake up though which is weird because I have NEVER been a back sleeper, always a side or stomach sleeper. So I flip back over onto my side!

What I miss: Infrequent head aches... I'm getting them a ton these days. 

Food Cravings:
Flaming Hot Cheetos with lime. They help my nausea a ton!

Food Aversions:  Home cooked chicken is still bad, not much else though. 

Nausea:
Nights are still the worst but days I'm totally fine as long as I have food in me. 

Moody/Happy?
Still a bit snappy! 

What I’m looking forward to:
Finding out the Gender and not having to keep saying "it"!!! 

Baby Bump: 17 weeks 3 days:
