17 Weeks


I am 17 weeks!  I am still feeling really good.   This weekend we spent 3 days with my parents for Easter and I did get really tired, but we were busy all day long with Stephen and then mom and I went shopping during his naps on Friday and Saturday.  We had such a great time though.  I took over 500 pictures and lots of video so I'm still working on the Easter blog!

I am also really happy to be this far along.  I know it's only 17 weeks and we still have a long way to go, but each week is so important.  I was really, really worried in the beginning of this pregnancy.  I just know so many people who have experienced miscarriages and problems and it made me so nervous.  Every day I feel so grateful to be pregnant and be growing a healthy baby!

How Far Along: 17 Weeks
Size of baby: The size of a turnip
Maternity Clothes:  Yes
Gender: Don't know.  Our gender reveal party is on June 1st, so we will find out then!
Movement: Yes although not much this week.
Sleep: Pretty good, but I have been waking up so much to go to the bathroom though.
What I miss: Nothing
Cravings: Nothing really, but I have been really hungry this week.  I usually eat 3 meals and maybe have an afternoon snack, but lately I need about 5-6 small meals.  
Aversion:  Nothing in particular.  I have gotten over my food aversions.
Symptoms:  Emotionally I have been a little "off".  Stephen and I have been fighting more and we rarely ever fight, so I think my hormones and emotions are a little crazy right now. 
Best Moment this week: Easter!  We had the best 3 days at my parents house for Easter.  I can't believe next Easter we will have a baby!  I am so excited!
