Week 17

Week 17 was another good one for me and for Harper.  My energy levels seem to be on the rise and I have a serious desire to purge nest.  I've redecorated every room in my head, made to-do lists for the year, and even woke up early to rearrange the kitchen and throw out any item that I deemed to be taking up space.  I'm positive that Mike thinks I'm insane, but at least we can blame my hormones for that.  

 How far along? 17  weeks

Maternity clothes? I wouldn't dream of anything else. 

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Eh, it comes and goes. 

Best moment(s) this week: Working on Harper's registry and nursery ideas.  I am so ready to start decorating her room! 

Miss Anything? Afternoon coffee...I could really use a pick me up around 2:00.   

Movement: She's getting stronger, but no crazy big kicks yet.  

Food cravings: Sour patch kids, oranges, and cookie ice cream sandwiches from Trader Joes.  I could eat one of those for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular.  Sometimes a smell throws me off, but it's so wonderful to not be nauseous anymore. 

Gender: Girl 💝

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Round Ligament Pain- I'm pretty sure I can feel my uterus stretching (ow!), an appetite finally, and more energy than the past weeks.

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both, which is better than only being moody 😏.

Looking forward to: Our next sonogram- I'm ready to see baby girl again.
