17 Week Baby Bump

How far along: 17 weeks

Size of baby: onion - 5.1in, 5.9oz

One of my apps said it was about the length of your palm, 5.0in...well my palm is shorter than 5in so we'll just pretend!

(Whoah! Went from 3.5oz to 5.9oz this week!)

Gender: ??? SO ready to know...12 days!

Weight gain: 14-15 pounds....yikes :/ Maybe I should lay off the carbs and sweets...why does that have to be what sounds good?! It seems to be adding up so much more quickly than it did with Blakelee despite the fact that I am working out way more with this one than I even thought about doing with B!

Maternity clothes: A few shirts and jeans

Started showing: For sure! I feel like I got a lot bigger this week!

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: Out..still

Sleep: Getting better!

Best moment this week: We had an OB appointment last Friday to check up on this little one! Everything went great, HB was 155 and the nurse said the baby was moving around a lot and very active!

Movement: Yes, a little bit more than previous week but still nothing super strong or consistent!

Cravings: sweets, carbs...still!

Symptoms: Still feeling good! Napping when I can, acne was better this week, don't feel like I'm losing as much hair, and very little heartburn!

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender!! We have our sono Monday 9/29 and will have a gender reveal that night! Can't wait to find out if this one's a little sister or brother!!!

16 Week Baby Bump

16 Week Baby Bump

How far along: 16 weeks

Size of baby: avocado - 4.6in, 3.5oz

Gender: ??? SO ready to know!

Weight gain: 10-11 pounds....yikes :/

Maternity clothes: A few workout shirts and wore my jeans for the first time!

Started showing: For sure! You know, every pregnant woman has the time where they feel like they "popped"...well I haven't had that moment with my belly yet, but goodness....my butt is another story!! I'm pretty sure all 10ish pounds I've gained went straight to my hiney...haha!

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: Out..always

Sleep: Not bad, gradually getting better, still have my occasional night that I can't go to sleep

Best moment this week: We had a pretty great day Saturday - I got up early and went on my long run with a friend, running together made it so much better! When I got home Brock had made a yummy breakfast, so I got to sit down and enjoy with my family! Then I had to go into work..I know, on a Saturday :( BUT since I was there I made a run down to the OB wing and got to hear this little one's sweet heart beat, made it all worth it! We then spent the rest of the afternoon napping and watching football then went and had dinner at our friends' house. It was such a nice, low key, relaxing day!

Movement: Yes, still just some flutters here and there very ready for it to become stronger and more consistent!

Cravings: sweets, carbs...still!

Symptoms: Still feeling good! Napping when I can, still trying to tackle this crazy acne, having to clean out the shower drain daily from all the hair I'm losing, and occasional heartburn.

Looking forward to: We have an OB appointment Friday morning, even though there's nothing of significance taking place at this one they're still exciting to me, one step closer to the next one....our gender ultrasound!!

15 Week Baby Bump

15 week baby bump and 15 month baby girl!!

How far along: 15 weeks

Size of baby: orange - 4.0in, 2.5oz

Gender: ??? We find out in 1 month!!

Weight gain: 10ish pounds already....yikes :/

Maternity clothes: Bella band, a couple of shirts....I've decided I will embrace the maternity clothes earlier with this one...they're expensive and you only get to where them for a short while and they're generally super comfy...win win!

Started showing: For sure!

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: Out..always

Sleep: Not bad, still have my occasional night that I can't go to sleep

Best moment this week: Brock and I took Blakelee to the park last Thursday evening and enjoyed some 50cent corn dogs from Sonic (eh hm...hence the 10lb weight gain!) We had so much fun watching B play! Up and down the slide 10 bazillion times, swinging on the swing and checking out the birds....such a fun evening!

Movement: Yes, still just some flutters here and there!

Cravings: sweets, carbs...ya know, all the healthy stuff!

Symptoms: Still feeling good! Still sneaking in the occasional nap..ok, still napping almost daily :), acne everywhere (so that's fun...not), still losing more hair...yikes, some random heartburn when I lie down at night, occasional headaches that just make me feel yucky! BUT overall, I really can't complain!

Looking forward to: Still ready to feel more movement!!

 We took these pics right before nap time so she was really not in the mood!!
