How Far Along: 17 weeks as of yesterday!
Total Weight
Gain/Loss: I think around 5
pounds but I lost ten so I’m still under.
It’s probably about the same – I don’t weight myself at home.
Maternity Clothes: Loving my maternity clothes. Waiting for the
weather to get warmer so I can wear some of the skirts and stuff I bought. I
still need some shirts but I’m definitely loving the maternity
clothes. And I’m looking forward to flip flops. J I
hate any uncomfortable shows right now and heels are OUT!!
Movement: Still not yet. I think I’m
feeling an occasional flutter but I’m not sure if it’s them or my imagination. There was one day last week that one of them
went exploring and caused Mommy a pain in the side. I gave the little one a nudge to return to it’s
original spot.
Sleep: I’m sleeping pretty well. Still getting
up to pee - not a shock. My hips still bother me if I lay on one side
for too long.
Gender: We have a guess but we are waiting until we
know for sure before we announce. Hoping
to get confirmation in the next week or two.
Symptoms: Fatigue, round ligament pain/cramping,
stuffiness, trouble sleeping and hip pain.
Cravings: Not as hungry this week. Not sure why…
Freak-out of the Week: Upcoming appointment – and actually a
little less cramping the last two days.
Looking
Forward To: Confirming the gender and registering for stuff.
Next Appointment: February 27th with MFM
for another cervical check and a peek at the babies. Hoping to
confirm what they are in terms of gender.
Miscellaneous: Feeling pretty good. Not worried about any genetic stuff. We are just taking that as it comes. If one of our ultrasounds in the future show cause for concern then we will decide what to do at that time. Otherwise…no worries about that! Doesn’t mean I don’t’ worry about everything else though!! Todd is very confident that everything is going to be fine, so when I feel down he picks me back up. That’s why I know I picked the right guy.
16 weeks – babies now measure about 5 ounces (about the weight of a turnip) and are
about 5 inches from head to butt (about the size of a large onion).
