I apologize I didn't post for 16 Weeks. Things have been a little crazy. My Grandmother past away and I spent a week back home with family. I know she is in a better place and she went peacefully in her sleep but we are still in a state of shock. She was perfectly healthy. We will miss her so much. Love you Grandma!!
How far along? 17 Weeks!!
Baby's size? Cupcake is the size of an onion! About 5 inches and 6 ounces. Baby gained an ounce and half this week!!
Maternity clothes? Still in regular clothes but loving my belly band.
Stretch marks? A few
Belly button in or out? Still in.
Sleep? Some night are better than others. I’ve been getting a lot of pain in my hips and toss and turn all night. Used a pillow between my knees last night and it seemed to help. Still getting up a couple times a night to pee.
Foods I am loving? Well, with the Gestational Diabetes I can’t eat much of anything I want to but Bacon is my best friend. I’m trying not to eat too much of it but I love, love, love it!!!
Foods I am hating? Meat!!!
Best moment this week? Getting to hear beans heartbeat again after a long week!!
Movement? Yes, about once a day now but still very light and only when I’m sitting really still. Bean did go crazy at my nieces softball tournament though for about three hours. I think because he/she can hear now and it was LOUD.
Symptoms? Boobs still a little sore, hungry but have to eat every two hours with the GD so that seems to keep it at bay for the most part. Lots of peeing.
Gender? 12 more days till we find out!!!!!
What I miss? What I miss is nothing in comparison to being pregnant. :)
What I'm looking forward to? Finding out Bean’s gender.
Weekly Wisdom: Always carry Kleenex. You never know what will make you cry at the drop of a hat. LOL
Milestone: Feeling Bean move and knowing it wasn’t indigestion. And of course being 17 weeks pregnant!!
Emotions: As long as I get enough sleep and eat every two-three hours at least something I am good. I cry at a lot of things though. Commercials even make me cry! :)
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

Still so happy for you! Isn't the movement the best?!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Grandmother. But so happy the bean is growing so well.
ReplyDeleteGet a body pillow! It will be your best sleeping friend until the baby comes. Its bulky and a pain if you only have a queen sized bed, but it helps the hip pain and helped keep me on my side instead of my back.
