Baby Bump(less) @ 17 Weeks

I've sucked at taking weekly pictures this time around. Seems like the days that I look pretty pulled together, my battery is dead or I'm running late and don't have time. Every other day I just look tired as hell and don't exactly want that recorded, sooo.... I'll try to take some this weekend. Maybe.  ;)


How Far Along? 17 weeks

Total Weight Gained/Loss? I'm up 2 lbs. I was at 5 lbs with Viv at 21 weeks, so I think I'm pretty on target.

Maternity Clothes? All maternity pants but still mostly non-maternity shirts. Most of my maternity tops require a far larger bump than I'm sporting right now. I did just get this dress from JCP and I wish it came in 10 different colors because I would buy them all and wear nothing else ever again.

Sleep?  Going pretty well these days.

Food Cravings? I just sliced up a banana, topped each bite-size piece with a dollop of nutella, and popped the whole shebang into the freezer. This is very likely the MOST stereotypically pregnant thing I've ever eaten.

Food aversions? Nothing specific that I can think of, but occasionally my coworker heats up something that makes my stomach turn.

Belly Button? normal

Gender? It's DEFINITELY a boy!!!! We can't wait to meet Asher Grey!

Morning sickness? Finally over.

Best Moment of the Week?  My up-coming 3 day weekend and the birth of a good friend's baby. I can't wait to snuggle Lucy Marie this weekend (how stinking cute is that name)!

What I miss:  Breathing normally. I'm still pretty small, but I definitely get short of breath easily and sometimes Asher moves just right and I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. I know this is only going to get worse. I'm not looking forward to it.

What I'm looking forward to: Our anatomy scan next Tuesday. Any chance to see our baby is exciting and hopefully we'll get some nice pics that are worth sharing!

Milestones? I felt the first wiggles the day after Mother's Day - best gift ever!

Baby Bump @ 15 (13) Weeks

This was me at 13 weeks at my friend Karen's shower. (No new pics since then.)

If she looks familiar, it's because she and I were also pregnant together two years ago.

How Far Along? 15 weeks

Total Weight Gained/Loss? I'll let you know after my appointment this afternoon. Probably up a few pounds now.

Maternity Clothes? I can still get away with most of me pre-preg shirts, which is good because I'm having trouble finding maternity shirts that are cute AND fit right. Waiting for a cute striped t-shirt dress that I ordered from JCP last week!

Sleep?  Comes and goes.

Food Cravings? Vegetable soup and my mother-in-law's chocolate cake.

Food aversions?  My husband said something about making shrimp bisque for dinner tonight . . . I think I might puke just thinking about that.

Belly Button? normal
Gender? Our 12 Week ultrasound looked very much like a boy (even the tech said so), but we'll find out for sure on Thursday!!!

Morning sickness? Ongoing though not as bad as it was.

Best Moment of the Week? Definitely the upcoming ultrasound, though the chocolate cake was a closer-than-I'd-like-to-admit second.

What I miss: Energy. I distinctly remember getting that 2nd trimester burst in both previous pregnancies, but it hasn't happened yet.

What I'm looking forward to: Seeing my tiny prince (or princess) on Thursday.

Milestones? Nothing super exciting yet.
