Happy Election Day!
1. How Far Along? As of Tuesday, 11/6/12 I'm 17 weeks pregnant with baby #2! (vs. 18 weeks with Reese since I didn't blog for week 17 last time).
2. How big is baby?
Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.
3. Total Weight Gain/Loss? 2 or 3lbs-- I think. I haven't had a doctor's appointment in over 5 weeks- I finally go next week again. :-) I feel like I'm finally getting a belly- but looking at these pictures, maybe I'm not??
4. Maternity Clothes? Nope! Still fitting into my regular jeans just fine thankyouverymuch!
5. Gender? It's a GIRL... can YOU believe it? My mommy intuition was so off this time!
6. Movement? Nothing yet, although I'm anxiously patiently waiting.
7. Sleep? Sleeping great!
8. What I miss? My energy, my ability to fight colds- I feel like I've had a cold for months!
9. Cravings? Nothing too specific, I love hard boiled eggs (just the white part) with salt and pepper, peanut butter, cheese, apples. Random, I know. Loving food lately.
10. Symptoms? Feeling great overall. Some things worth noting: My skin is still acting crazy. I'm already starting to feel pain when I go to put my pants on- lifting one leg at a time hurts my pelvic muscles.
11. Worst moment this week? This week has been pretty good.
12. Best moment this week? Taking Reese trick or treating, and getting to see this little nugget at our ultrasound.
You look great! :o) Are you even showing?? :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rose! I looked back and was definitely bigger with Reese by this point. I'm sure I'll wake up one morning and be huge! Hoping that I gain less this time around!
