17 weeks

(ignore the blue tape. painter is coming tomorrow)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How many weeks: 17

Size of baby: The size of an turnip

Total weight gain: 5 pounds

Maternity Clothes: Mostly maternity pants and some shirts. Regular dresses and stretchy clothing.

Gender: It's a BOY! His name is Judd. We are still so pleasantly surprised.

Movement: I felt the baby move twice so far. Found out I have an anterior placenta which means I won't be able to feel real solid movements until around 18-20 weeks. Poop:(

Sleep: I am up to use the bathroom about 3 times a night and have insomnia but the dreams have gotten WEIRD this week. And scary. I HATE dreams where they involve Ava being hurt!!

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.

Cravings: Baked potatoes, peaches, salads, and ice cream. Also craving tortillas and queso. And today I have been craving a burger SO BAD! Hungry much? Ha!

Symptoms: Having lots of headaches but found out today that it's because I'm not drinking enough water. I STINK at drinking liquids. Also pretty tired lately. Need to get my iron checked I'm afraid:(

Best moment this week: Wouldn't this mean the best moment last week? Anyhow, best moment LAST week was finding out the baby's gender.
