17 WEEKS
Okay I know I said I wouldn’t do these so often cause things
don’t change that fast, well I spoke too soon! This week was too exciting not
to share! {Also I found a new questionnaire and I like these questions more!}
HOW FAR: 17 weeks
today (my turn over days are Fridays)
BABY IS THE SIZE OF:
a turnip, and since I don’t know how big that is, I looked up another
comparison, the size of my hand! About 5 inches! She’s growing so fast!
MATERNITY CLOTHES: oh
yeah baby… and best decision I made! I despise jeans when I’m not pregnant
there was just no way I was going to put them on and be even more uncomfortable.
The only problem I ran into, maternity clothes are ugly people. I found it so
hard to find anything that didn’t look like I was 40 and frumpy. I hit the jackpot
at h&m and got the perfect pair of black skinnies and some Bermuda shorts.
I don’t plan on buying more than that because I plan on living in dresses and
stretchy pants!
SLEEP: sleep is
getting a little harder lately. Although I am not complaining cause I have yet
to wake up just to pee. I am a dedicated stomach sleeper so that is starting to
become a bit of a problem and it makes me sick to…probably baby yelling at me
to stop squishing her!
MOVEMENT: OKAY!!
Ahhhh! This right here is why I HAD to do a post this week! Yes! I can say yes
to this question! I have been unsure now for about 2 weeks if I was infact
feeling her wiggle around or if it was just my stomach doing its thang ya know?
Well these past couple days, 100% its baby girl! Especially if I lay on my
side! It almost feels like my muscles are twitching? And you wanna know the
best part!?
BEST MOMENT OF THE
WEEK: MICHAEL FELT HER TOO! Last night! I wasn’t sure if he would be able to
and I was just able to cause its happening inside of me, but sure enough! Last
week at our ultrasound I found out my placenta is behind the baby so the baby
is the most forward part, which makes it really easy to feel her, find her
heartbeat, and get super cute pictures of her!
MISS ANYTHING: not
really this week! I’ve been feeling good! I started my prenatal workouts and
officially can’t walk, but it’s a good feeling! Oh I haven’t been able to touch
or even think about pizza since I got pregnant, but since I was feeling so much
better I thought I would try it again, nope. Puked within the first two bites.
FOOD CRAVINGS:
flaming hot Cheetos? Are you kidding me? I literally haven’t eaten those since
I was like 11! And I have like 5 peanut butter and honey sandwiches a day!
ANYTHING MAKE YOU
QUEASY: pizza. Still my pantry. Targets popcorn smell. And meat, I’ve been able
to eat a little chicken but that’s it.
AM I SHOWING: yes! I
have a teeny tiny torso so baby is popping right out….short girl probs right?
You can definitely tell I’m pregnant and not just fat now! Yay!
WEDDING RINGS: please
tell me I’m not the only horrible wife that wears my wedding ring like twice a
month? I don’t know why cause I LOVE IT, but this is bad to say, its so big it
gets caught on pretty much everything. I think I’m going to get a matching band
and just wear that all the time, but in regards to pregnancy, YES! Its pretty
loose on me to begin with so I’ll probably be able to wear it until the end!
HAPPY OR MOODY:
besides crying over pretty much anything? I’m good! Don’t send any tearjerkers
my way please!
LOOKING FORWARD TO:
buying the crib this month! Hopefully! The one I want is sold out on pretty
much every site but I’m still holding out hope!
(if you look really close baby girl is smiling! ahhhh!)
Love love love! I was so surprised when both my husband and I were both able to feel her kick around 17 weeks because I didn't expect it so early but let me tell you it never gets old!! I still just love when she moves around it's so reassuring that everything is going okay. Cutest clothes and cannot wait to hear the name!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. My friend's expecting an she's using these removable wall patterns in the nursery, they're super cute. She got them off of wallsbymur.com. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteha! I'm with you on the pantry smell. Yuck. But the Target popcorn.... I totally succumbed to it and bought a bag on Saturday. Probably haven't had Target popcorn since I was 7, but it was awesome :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I want all of those clothes!!! I die over polkadots and stripes - and those floral pants?! Get outta here! Please please tell me the scoop on where you get your shopping done! Also, I'd love to ask what sizes you are getting her, ours are both due in September and I'm so curious how warm or cool to dress her, ya know?

H&M, Gap, TJ maxx, and Kid to Kid (or sometimes called Once upon a child) have been my GO too! Love Gap, hate the prices though so I watch for sales! But h&m baby clothes are the best! As for sizes, everyone told me to hardly buy anything and to wait until I know how she grows...and I just couldn't do that! I live in NC and it doesn't snow too much but does get chilly...but there are no sweaters or anything really to buy right now! It's all spring stuff! I have very little newborn stuff cause I figured I'll get a ton of that from my shower! We have the most 3-6 months I think! But we have clothes all up to size 18 month! (my nephew is 5 months and wearing 18 month so I thought I would buy a couple huge sizes just incase haha). I'll probably dress her pretty normally this winter but then stock up on blankets, beanies, sweaters, and get a carseat cover thing to keep her warm when we go out!
Deleteps: so happy you found me! Love other blogging mommas to be!
