it's starting to hit me just how fast this pregnancy seems to be moving along. almost half way there and in a little over a week we may know what flavour of baby we're having. no more bri-ster for liam. an actual sister or brother. we had an eventful week. our new house is finally started!!! we got the permit issues all sorted out and they broke ground yesterday. we are now the proud owners of a hole in the ground. the house feels real now. not just a bunch of signed papers and selection appointments. we have our fingers crossed that we'll be in by early september.
how far along? seventeen weeks, one day
total weight gain: hit 146 lbs. this week, up a total of 12 lbs., i feel like my belly is so much bigger this time around, but i weigh a lot less at this point in my pregnancy then i did with liam. guess every pregnancy is different.
maternity clothes? it's official. non-maternity pants no longer fit. at first i was sad about this. but then i realized that it's for a good cause ... i'm growin' a baby! i had my first "fat" day last weekend and put the last of my pre-pregnancy pants away to avoid future self loathing.
stretch marks? nada, never got any with liam either.
sleep: it's been off and on this week. i think it might have something to do with trying to get things done at work. haven't been able to turn off my brain at night.
best moment this week: as soon as it turned to friday!! bring on spring break. a full week off at home with liam. time to have some mama and farf fun and relax. oh ya and had a midwife appointment and heard baby's strong fast heart beat, 150 bmp.
miss anything? i was so wanted a giant glass bottle of red wine. a sort of celebration for finishing report cards and toast to only having one more round to go. i settled for ginger ale. it just wasn't the same.
movement: yup, but can't feel it consistently. more so at night i get fluttery feelings.
food cravings: still all about the chocolate soy. fruit, fruit and more fruit. i can't get enough and now it doesn't seem to be anything in particular. bananas, apples, cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberries. i'll take it all.
anything making your queasy or sick: still off fish. i think this might be the theme for this pregnancy. no fish here. although sushi seems to be okay ... the pretend non-raw fish kind.
gender: unknown, only a week to go. can't wait until april 3rd.
labour signs: not for a while yet
symptoms: heart burn. but i've got zantac to help me through and a giant bottle of tums in my purse. i'm also getting some pretty wicked sciatic pain on my left side. it was so-so with liam, but it actually woke me up last week.
belly button in or out? in
wedding rings on or off? wedding and engagement rings on
happy or moody most of the time? generally happy all week. i think that's a product of the upcoming vacation. why wouldn't i be happy?!?!
looking forward to: spending the week with liam and our ultrasound on the third.
happy saturday!!
