It's a day late but I'll try better in the coming weeks!
So far I'm just shocked at how fast time is flying by and how I can't imagine August getting here but at the same time feels like it will be here soon!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 17 weeks
Size of baby: 5 inches
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 13 pounds lost
Maternity Clothes: I have a pair of jeans that I got at 8 weeks because of bloat that I wear but I still fit in my old jeans. Shirts are getting iffy though on if they'll cover my belly or not!
Gender: Hopefully we'll find out soon!
Movement: Usually at night or when I'm laying down but I can feel somersaults and kicks. It's so neat! Bug gets more active after I eat something sweet or drink orange juice!
Sleep: Getting difficult. I'm a tummy sleeper and it's getting uncomfortable to sleep on my belly.
Symptoms: Emotional. Exhaustion. Dizziness.
Throw up tally: Still strong at ZERO!
What I miss: Good sleep
Cravings: Anything sweet. Love ice cream, candy, sweet tea, etc. Although I try not to give in too much.
Best Moment this week: Reading to Bug with Max. It was a really bad week at work for me and just knowing that I'm working for our baby and that Bug is there with me makes it better.
Get a body pillow!! I am a hardcore tummy sleeper too, and so I sleep kind of half on my side and half draped over the body pillow so it takes the weight off my tummy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that makes any sense, but it seems to fool my brain and body into thinking I am on my stomach so I can fall asleep. That is how I had to sleep 90% of the time with Kaylee because I couldn't fall asleep on my sides.
I'm thinking about getting one! I have a fluffly blanket that I rolled up into a sort of body pillow yesterday and I slept so much better!
