I think I've reached a milestone. I can no longer sleep on my stomach. It's not that it's necessarily in the way or impossible, it's just really uncomfortable and wakes me up after a while. And let's face it, I don't need any extra help waking up in the night with all my trips to go pee and adjusting my hip. So this will be a new normal for me, figuring out how to sleep! Wish me luck (or maybe more luck for my husband. I'm a grumpy beast without enough sleep. The newborn stage is going to be interesting...)
How far along: 17 weeks 1 day
Size of baby: Sweet potato
Maternity Clothes: Coming along! I have a few pieces now that I intermix with my normal wardrobe. Wearing lots of leggings w/longer shirts, skirts, dresses, and my one pair of maternity jeans. I hope to get a couple pairs of cropped pants to make it through the Kansas summer heat but that should last me, I hope!
Gender: Getting closer to finding out! I had a very vivid dream last night that we were at the ultrasound and it was a boy. Given that I originally thought this little one was a girl, I am thoroughly confused now.
Movement: Slight increase of fluttering, no real kicks yet.
Sleep: See above.
What I miss: Hmm. Not really missing much at the moment. Overall feeling pretty good, despite a couple of lagging symptoms. Thankful for so far, a pretty normal pregnancy!
Cravings: still airheads, watermelon
Symptoms: Nausea, hip pain. I can tell a difference between 1st and 2nd trimester with the extreme fatigue. It's not as bad anymore, but I'm still taking a nap most days when I get off work because I'm not getting enough quality sleep at night. I think my ass might be getting a little bit pregnant too, it seems to have grown a bit. Boo. To date I've only gained 3 pounds but the distribution is shifting. Michael says my neck and face looks thinner to him...I'll take it! :)
Anxiety level: Only when I think about how much we have going on that last week of June/first week of July.
Best moment this week: Had a really fun night out with Anna and Tiffany last week. We tried on our dresses for Anna's wedding and then went to Johnny's Tavern for dinner. Despite being seated next to a boys' baseball team, we had a great time chatting and laughing. Also highlights of the past couple weeks have been my growth group! We started last Tuesday and it's a really great group of women. Lots of funny, snarky commentary as we watch the Twilight movies. Snark is my favorite. :) My good friend Kim is hosting for us and her basement is the perfect place to cozy up with some popcorn and watch a movie!
Reading: Nothing at the moment. Lots of our books are packed for our move at the end of the month!
Dad is: Counting down to the appointment where he'll find out if he's having a son or daughter! The waiting is such a killer, I don't know how our parents did this without knowing the entire time!
