How Far Along: 17 weeks, 2 days to be exact
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained about 8-9 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: I have pretty much switched over to stretchy pants (as Ryan calls them) and mostly maternity shirts (although most still look like a tent on me).
Gender: We find out tomorrow!!!! I am so excited to find out...do we have everything we need? Or do we need to buy pink?!? Either way, we are going to be so excited! A boy to be best friend's with Der or a sweet girl (which we want one day!) Any predictions? :)
Movement: About a week and a half ago, I felt the first flutters and Ryan was able to feel them too :) So fun!! It's not every day that I feel the little one, but if I am still for a while and relax, then usually the little one wiggles a bit :)
Sleep: Been better! I am finally feeling a little more like myself and not having to nap every day anymore.
Symptoms: Not many.... just the bulge sticking out from my shirt :) No nausea or sleeplessness. I have just been hot (and I know this is only the beginning).
Cravings: Hummm...nothing real strong. But with it getting hotter....cold has been a preference. I finished all the popsicles I bought for Der a few weeks ago when he was sick. And I have been making lemonade and tea several times a week.
Best Moment this week:The sweet mother's day roses and delicious breakfast in bed (homemade apple fritter pancakes), followed by a bath, that I already enjoyed this morning.
Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom! I had no idea (and still don't) how challenging it is to be a mother. I am just beginning to understand all the sacrifices you made for our family! Thank you for being such an excellent example of a mom! Love you!
And happy mother's day to all moms out there!
