Mommy at 17 weeks
Our little darling's profile! The baby is measuring early. We went in at 16w4d and the baby is measuring 17 weeks 1 day. Changed due date to March 7th...for now anyway.
So this is LS at 17 weeks! Look at those sweet cheeks!! Ps...the white-ish part on the back of the head is from the ink smearing when the picture was printed. We love this little one!!!
Here's a picture of Mommy and Daddy at our sweet friends' wedding shower. Baby LS looks squished here with me slumped over. We were roasting apples over a fire. Baby LOVED them :)
Here's an update on this week. We apparently have a long baby growing. LS is growing perfectly on the "average"scale except for above average-size femur bones. :)
How far along? 17 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 7.5 lbs. It seriously looks like way more. I guess that my weight just shifts. I was really surprised to go into the doctor and find that out.
Maternity clothes? Yes and no. Mostly, I have been wearing maternity clothes, but there are a few things that I've still been able to wear. I did find some great deals on maternity clothes at Ross this week :)
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I have not been sleeping very well. I am already barricaded in with lots of pillows for comfort.
Best moment this week: Seeing our sweet baby's profile and hearing that he/she is looking great! I loved seeing LS hiccup during our appointment. The baby kept moving and stretching like never before! It was a precious moment for me. He/she looked squished in there because LS kept pushing and kicking around in there. It's been so great to feel more of an emotional connection to our baby this week. Those pictures and sonogram sure do grow my love more and more for that dumpling. It's truly a miracle how our Creator forms and knits new life together!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? I miss being able to eat sushi this week.
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: I have been craving candy like crazy! How weird is that? I am definitely a chocolate kind-of gal but I have been wanting sugary, sweet candy. Also, I've taken a new liking to Gatorade
Anything making you queasy or sick: PRAISE be to the Lord that the nausea hasn't been as bad! Nasty smells still make me sick but that's pretty normal.
Have you started to show yet: Yes! Now, even when I lay down flat on my back, I have a distinct bump still.
Gender prediction: So, we've been thinking girl but I've been having boy dreams. Maybe it's a boy.
Labor Signs: I've actually been having Braxton Hicks contractions. I had to go in for a work-in appointment this week to make sure everything was okay. The baby and everything else looks great but I'm having the Braxton Hicks. I'm thankful to know that baby is good though!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy and tired, tired
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move!

Week 17 post is about a week late so be ready for week 18 sooner than later! I'm such a terrible blogger, but I'm trying!
Love you! I love seeing BS grow! And I love that you already have a baby bump!!! :-) And of course the baby is going to be big and tall! Look at the daddy. Praying for you, and that you won't have anymore BHC until closer to your due date!
