Today I had my monthly doctor's appointment. Riley came with me and was happy to get a chance to hear the heartbeat (she said "it's very loud"). Everything is looking good. In 3 short weeks we go back for our anatomy scan where we will find out if we're playing for TEAM PINK or TEAM BLUE!!! Can't wait - but until then, here is an update of my progress.
How far along? 17 weeks 2 days.
Total weight gain: 6lbs total (but none in the last 4 weeks according to the doctor's office)
Maternity clothes? Definitely tops (unless they're flowy non-maternity) and for pants maternity are still kind of big but my regular clothes are super snug. Thank goodness for the belly band!
Stretch marks? None - but I know they're coming
Sleep: Much better - I get up only once a night.
Best moment this week: Taking Riley to my monthly check-up so she can hear the heartbeat (140 bpm) and scheduling the BIG sonogram!!
Miss Anything? It's summer and it's BBQ season...I would love to sit in my yard with a beer!
Movement: YES!! Just this past week, lots of popcorn-like feeling and flutters.
Food cravings: None
Food aversions: Tacos
Gender: Only 20 more days until we know!!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button - Oh it's about half in, half out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: The big reveal in 20 days!! Will the genders be evened out or will Jeremy be out numbered????
