Decisions to be made

I feel like this month has flown by and I have so many decisions to make! 

I wish I could splurge on all the details, but for now.. 

we will just stick to baby news! 

Holy moly! I can definitely tell my stomach has been growing this past week. 

I feel like I went from hardly anything to, "Oh my gosh, I can't suck this in anymore!" 

It is exciting to finally start looking somewhat pregnant; however, I keep reminding myself that I have a little over 22 more weeks of growing to do! 

I can't even imagine what it is going to be like during those hot August summer days.

I am definitely excited to be at the river, as well as poolside relaxing; I am not excited about the idea of trying to get myself in a bathing suit. 

I think summer dresses and halter tops it will be! 

While I love a pregnant belly, I also get completely creeped out by how big they get towards the end. 

Six to seven months, definitely cute! Nine to ten... not so much! 

If you are my friend and feel this way too, I will try to steer clear of exposing you to what will soon be my massive belly baring hopefully a not so massive child! ;)

What do you think? Definitely growing, huh?!

How far along? 17 Weeks 2 days  

Total weight gain: One pound still    

Maternity clothes? Hoping to buy some this weekend! Definitely looking forward to Portland and no sales tax!

Stretch marks? Nope. I keep forgetting to go buy some good belly lotion/oil though. I am almost out of the little sample my sister sent me, which has been a lifesaver for all the itching!

Sleep: Some days are amazing, others I wake up every hour.   

Best moment this week: Bumping into my patients head twice with my stomach during their cleaning and realizing 1) I need to watch my stomach, and 2) haha.. this is only going to get 90x worse!

Miss Anything? Being able to fit in my tops.. my wardrobe is slim pickin’s these days!

Movement: Not yet, but hoping for any day now!  

Food cravings: Still no

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing really specific at this time. I still am avoiding certain foods just because of how bad my aversions were.

Gender: So this is a big bummer!! According to my doctor, I should be finding out the sex this Friday. However, my imaging center refuses to see me until at least 20 weeks.. In which due to my work schedule, I won’t be finding out until 21 weeks. Man, I was sooo looking forward to finding out this Easter weekend! We even had a big announcement planned! :(

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Intense muscle pain/stretching, sciatica issues, random nausea, headaches.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I feel like I have been a little more emotional these last few days.. Mostly due to decisions that need to be made and missing my hubby and pup.
Looking forward to: Easter weekend!
