Dear Diary: Week 17...a week+ late

Wednesday September 25th 2013

How far along? 17 weeks

Baby G is the size of a Onion

Due Date: March 5^th 2014

Total weight gain/loss: 134 +13 lbs total

Maternity clothes? H&M Jeans, Belly Band and Maternity T-shirts from Target, still squeezing into some pre-preggo jeans thanks to the belly band!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Day time energy is great, sleeping better at night…if it weren’t for my allergies I feel I would sleep much better.

Best moment this week: Starting to feel more movement, more often

Have you told family and friends: YES

Miss Anything? Wine, deli meat (which I didn’t eat before), sushi

Movement: Yes, usually when sitting watching TV I can feel a little more movement going on.

Food cravings: Nachos… arena nachos with the liquid cheese… it was at 11:30 pm… I didn’t do anything about it, but I could of destroyed a tray of them right then and there!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No, even when I am hungry now I don’t get the queasy feeling like before, unless I go a really long time without food.

Have you started to show yet: yes… people who know I am pregnant can see the bump others probably just think I am pudgy.

Gender prediction: Boy is my guess because of some of my cravings… more salty and flavourful things than sweet.

Labour Signs: No - but I can start to feel Braxton Hicks

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Weekly Wisdom:  Eat more healthy fruits and veggies! 4 lbs in a week is nuts…My Family Dr said I can expect a 1 lb a week weight gain from here on out…if that is the case it will be more weight gain then I was hoping for (based on what my family Dr said to expect). I know I have indulged a little more than need be.

Looking forward to: Learning about Cloth Diapers, The Bathroom Renovation!!! Then the Nursery! (Update coming soon!)
