How far along? 17 weeks 6 days (nothing like waiting for the last day to take the picture!)
Maternity clothes: Still mixing in a few shirts here and there. Clothes are getting harder and harder to make work without getting frustrated because I'm so in-between maternity and regular clothes. But I'm sure it won't be long!
Stretch marks: Nothing yet.
Sleep: Has been touch and go. Some nights I'm so tired I crash on the couch at 8:00, other nights I can stay up until 1:00 a.m. watching a movie or talking with Daniel. It's crazy!
Best moment this week: Was from Saturday actually, we danced at Brett and Courtney's wedding, and while slow dancing our little one kicked us in between. It was amazing! And finding out from Brandon & Michelle that they are having a baby GIRL!!
Miss Anything: Shopping for "normal" clothes. We walked through the mall this weekend and so many of my favorite stores are having their ADORABLE summer clothing sales! *sigh* There's always next summer, right?! :)
Movement: Can't wait for more!!! Right now it's day by day...some are much busier in there than others. When baby moves though, or kicks my hand away from my belly, Daniel and I both melt.
Symptoms: Sleepy. Hot flashes (which are very hard for me to get used to because I'm ALWAYS cold, especially at work!). Lower back pain (probably brought this on myself because I was cleaning the house like a mad woman, before we went to the mall to walk around for hours...reminder, this body cannot do those things anymore without some rest in between!)
Food cravings: Steak, salad, and fruit.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual.
Have you started to show yet: Yes! My mom even said that she can't believe how much I've popped. I have a feeling people that don't see me everyday will continue to ask me if there are TWO babies in there. haha :)
Gender: Can't wait to find out very soon! It's especially funny now to hear everyone's predictions since Brandon & Michelle found out they are having a girl. We will have to wait and see!
Labor Signs: Nada.
Belly Button in or out?: Still in!
Wedding rigns on or off: On!
General Mood: Good. Generally happy, with moments of hormonal"ness". haha
Best advice this week: To rest and take it easy.
Worst advice this week: Didn't receive any crazy advice this week like in past ones. I was ready for it though, because it always cracks me up!
Exercise: Walking, walking, walking. I need to do more stretching and yoga to help with this new found back pain.
Looking forward to: Finding out the sex very soon; vacation with the family; Alexandra to deliver, and to meet her baby G; and for Daniel to be done with school for the year so he can start projects around the house to prepare for baby!
love checking in on your blog - wish I would have done something like this with my littles! Can't believe you have a cute little baby bump already...you look great by the way!
