How Far Along: 17 weeks
Size of baby: Baby #2 is the size of an onion, my least favorite of all foods beside the mushroom
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I weighed myself on the scale at home and please remind me not to do that again. I may get in trouble when I go back to the doctor, it looks like I’m around the 8 pound mark.
Maternity Clothes: Still relying on the tops I ordered from Riff Raff and that fabulous Bella Band. I have every intention of shopping for maternity pants after my appointment in December, I have the whole day off and hopefully, I’ll have some great look finding pants.
Gender: I still feel exactly the same as I did with Braylen, if that’s an indication it makes me think girl. I crave the same things, my hair and skin are suffering, and I am hungry all day long. It could very well be a boy, slow and steady heart beat, and everyone else would put their money on boy. For the record, we have zero names picked out.
Movement: None. I felt Braylen much later in the pregnancy (I think around 18 weeks), so Im expecting it to be a little longer.
Sleep: My love for the Bump Nest pillow grows stronger each night, it is the most comfortable pillow ever.
What I miss: Just vain things like being able to pick out anything in my closet and wear it, oh wait, I couldn’t wear half the jeans before. But, you know what I mean.
Cravings: I still need all of the lemon water I can get my hands on, the colder, the better, and pizza.
Symptoms: I’m really feeling good in this second trimester, cruising to the uncomfortable third, so I’ll take this easy time as long as I can get it.
Best Moment this week: My family from Georgia came to visit and we had the best time catching up, and traveling to Tuscaloosa to see the Crimson Tide play.
