It's been awhile since I have updated the blog. Things have been great the last few weeks. Sean and I have heard the baby's heartbeat at my last 2 appointments and that was one of the greatest moments of the pregnancy so far (besides the ultrasound). We go back May 26th for the anatomy scan. We can't wait..it's going to be a long 3 weeks of anxiously waiting! We have been working on the house trying to get things in order for the baby. Our new roof has been put on, we have cleaned out the office a bit and now we are just saving up more money so we can repair the water damage from the winter. We hope in the next month we will start working on the nursery. I will try to be better about updating the blog on a weekly basis! I think this survey below will be a good way to quickly update when there is little time.
How far along? 17w 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: about 4 pounds
Sleep: Sleep ok most nights, wake up around 6 thanks to the puppies being on a schedule and wanting to go out at that time every morning!
Best moment this week: hmmm I had some good dreams this week. One dream was that I had twin girls, and last night I dreamt that I felt the baby moving.
Movement: I dreamt I felt the baby moving, but no real noticable movement yet. Any movements I feel now I chalk up to gas bubbles etc in my stomach, although some of it very well could be the baby moving.
Symptoms: Hungry all the time!
Food cravings: Anything I can eat! It really changes based on the day/time of day.
Food aversions: None
Gender: I want it to be a girl and Sean wants a boy. We will be happy either way as long as the baby is healthy.
Labor Signs: Fortunately not and hopefully not for at least 20 more weeks!
Belly Button in or out? In, not much has changed since I got pregnant...just look like I have a little belly now.
What I miss: Having a glass of wine whenever I want and having sushi! Not having to worry so much about fixing up the house and trying to save money at the same time.
What I am looking forward to: Our anatomy scan on the 26th.
Milestones: I guess tomorrow is sort of my first mother's day!
