Week 17 Bumpdate
size of the baby :: White Onion
total weight gain :: 6 pounds
gender :: One more week until we find out if it is a little gal or a little guy. It's killing me... mainly because I want to do fun things like pick out crib bedding and nursery accent colors.
maternity clothes :: Still just rocking out in maternity jeans.
movement :: Nope.
sleep :: Not terrible. Not great. Mainly because I have caught this winter head cold and cannot breath. We have up'd the tea, diffuser, humidifier, and vitamin C all around in this house.
missing :: Nothing really this week, but as I look into excursions for our upcoming trip to Mexico, they really limit me on what I can and cannot do with this baby bump. Even the "easy" take-me-to-the-next-village-over-and-tell-me-about-cultural ones exclude pregnant gals. I kind of just bums me out.
craving :: Granola, oatmeal, and cream of wheat.
symptoms :: Oh my goodness. My break outs have gone more toward pre-teen level. Two more weeks until my appointment with my dermatologist and I cannot wait.
duston is :: Sick too. Poor guy. Trying his best to take care of his pregnant, sick wife and struggling with a head cold himself. Good news is it seems like his good days are my bad days and vice-versa.
looking forward to :: Our next baby appointment! And getting some noticeable progress on our upstairs painting... we've been working at it, but baseboards and edging take time and don't look like a whole lot. One night with paint on the walls and it is going to sparkle like progress!!
best moments :: I took a Barre class with another pregnant bestie of mine this past week. It was wonderful and miserable at the same time. I cannot wait to go back. Between that, the Tone It Up 2016 Challenge, and a step duel in between another gal pal of mine via our Jawbone UP's, I feel 110% motivated to continue my workouts! Oh, and my 4 hour nap yesterday. Ha! It was glorious and wonderful and just want this stopped-up mama needed.
