17 week pregnancy update!

We announced we were having a girl on facebook this week and two of my friends actually thought I was kidding about having a girl because they were so sure I was having a boy too! How funny how EVERYONE (besides Jackson and Bella) really thought we were having a baby boy.

 

 

How far along: 17 weeks!

Baby is the size of a: Turnip (5 inches, 5 oz)

Total weight gain/loss: 0 

The Bump: I feel bigger. I still haven't "popped" but my tummy feels rounder. I've been having growing pains/cramps ALL week long so I'm pretty sure the baby is going threw a growth spurt and in the next couple weeks ill probably get quite a bit bigger. baby girl defiantly doesn't like when I sit down since she's still very low and I hope she starts moving up soon so she'll have more room.

Symptoms: cramping all week long and I'm still sleepy. Today I took an hour and a half nap and all afternoon I still wanted to sleep.

Food Cravings: Still peaches.  

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Just when my CTR 4 kids toot right in front of me lol.

Sleep: if its not hot I sleep great! Our AC is broken and only works sometimes so its been a hit or miss lately.

What I miss: Not getting up to pee 3+ times a night.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On :)

Any Names Picked Out Yet: a few that we love! We can't decide between 2. Good thing were having a girl because Doug and I didn't really care for any boy names. 

Gender: A girl! its been so fun saying SHE!

Movement: I don't feel kicks more like the baby rolling around. 

Maternity Clothes: I have a pair of shorts that I bought when I found out I was pregnant. I needed new ones since its so hot here in Texas and I wanted to wear them comfortably all summer long but I still fit into my regular pants. 

Labor Signs: N/A

Best Moment of the Week: My sisters made my week. Blanca lives in Idaho and Patty lives in Boston but even though we live far away from each every time I talk to them they seem so happy and excited for us that it makes me feel very loved and grateful to have such awesome sisters!

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: More movement. Having Doug and Bella really feel her move. And seeing her move :). Also not being in that awkward "she kind of looks pregnant but maybe she's Just gaining weight" stage.
