Maternity Monday (er on Tuesday)
How far along? I'm 17 weeks and 1 day today.
Total weight gain/loss: as far as I know (based on my 14 week appointment) zero pounds
Maternity clothes? I usually have my belly band on - if not I am constantly pulling up my pants because they are now sitting below the bump in the front and very near the butt crack in the back LOL but they still button and fit everywhere else so I'm not doing maternity pants yet.
Stretch marks? Yes. I found my first few new ones higher up on my stomach (as opposed to the ones I had from just gaining weight pre-baby on my stomach) and I have more on my boobs and I found some on my hip/back/stomach area that are new.
Sleep: When I wake up to pee, I find I am usually on my back. I am usually a side sleeper but apparently not all night. I try to sleep on the doctor recommended side - left. But my arms fall asleep too much on one side or the other so I have to rotate.
Best moment this week: The weather being awesome. Finding what I hope is the baby's crib.
Movement: I haven't felt it since that one time at 13 weeks.
Food cravings: I have been craving salty food since the beginning. Yesterday I wanted pickles. But the day before I wanted ice cream.
Symptoms: I'm feeling awesome! Just nervous because I have no symptoms really.
Gender: I think boy still. People have equally guessed boy and girl.
Labor Signs: Not yet!!! Not for a while!
Belly Button in or out? Still innie!
What I miss: Hmm I don't really miss much. I guess honestly right now (TMI WARNING) I miss sex because Ian has been sick LOL
What I am looking forward to: THE ULTRASOUND! 6 days, 11 hours, 4 minutes.
Weekly Wisdom: Being nervous is normal. The baby is probably fine.
Milestones: Single digit countdown for ultrasound.
