How far along?: 17 weeks! Baby's the size of an onion.
Total weight gain: Haven't weighed since my last appt and I don't plan to til I go back to the doctor at 20 weeks.
Maternity Clothes?: Still just pants. Oh and a couple of dresses. I wore a maternity dress on Mother's Day and a maternity maxi dress (that I got about a zillion compliments on) yesterday. I think I will be living in maxi dresses this summer. SO comfortable.
Showing?: There's no denying it anymore.
Stretch Marks?: Nope.
Sleep: Sucks. The exhaustion has subsided, thankfully, but I'm back to my old "tired in the evening but can't fall asleep when I'm ready for bed" routine. Then when I finally do fall asleep I wake up WIDE AWAKE in the middle of the night and am up for hours. Literally. Last night I did a little house cleaning at 5 in the morning before going back to bed at 7.
Best moment this week: Celebrating my first Mother's Day! Post to follow.
Movement: I'm pretty sure what I've been feeling is definitely movement. I doubted it for days but last night and this morning it was pretty strong. It's not the "fluttering" that everyone talks about... more of a slight tap/punch and just the feeling that something's moving around in there.
Cravings: Salad.
Aversions: The ongoing meat aversions continue.
Other Symptoms: The heartburn seems to be worsening by the day. Doesn't matter what I eat. My hips have been absolutely KILLING me lately. I wake up with whichever I was laying on literally throbbing. I hope to God that my hips don't widen and never go back. I don't want to be a wide person. haha. I'm also still struggling with the back-ne. I went to my dermatologist yesterday and got a prescription for some sort of antiseptic pad and was told to use only Dial soap. We'll see if this works. He also told me that of the so-called acne grading scale of 1 to 4, with one being the most mild of cases, I'm a one. Um, seriously? I can't imagine my back being any worse than it is now. He said he can tell I've never had to deal with acne problems because of how bad I was freaking out about my grade 1 blemishes. ha.
Missing anything?: Alcohol. Although I did have a small glass of Torrontes at dinner on Mother's Day, I missed being able to sit in the sun while at The Sagamore sipping on a few drinks.
Gender Prediction: I had another boy dream on Saturday but people keep predicting girl.
Mood: Oh, the irritability. And I'm still pretty weepy.
Purchases: Nothing this week.
Milestones: Um... I'm drawing a blank this week. I look huge? Is that a milestone? Possible movement? You pick ;)
