17 Weeks

How Far Along: 17 Weeks.  

Size of baby: Sweet Potato....how fitting.  :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still have the scales packed away....

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans so far.  Thankfully I wear scrubs 5 days a week.  :)

Gender: I've had people tell me all week that they think it's either a girl or boy.  I'm just taking it as no one knows except Baby T and we'll find out soon!  

Movement: 1-2 flutters or thumps per day now.

Sleep: VERY entertaining recently.  Apparently I snore like a man now.  My dreams are crazy lately which has made sleep interesting to say the least.  For example, last night I dreamed that I had ants coming out of my ears.

What I miss: Coffee, Diet Coke

Cravings: Spiral cut honey ham.

Symptoms: Nothing this week.  It's definitely a welcome break.

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Going home for Thanksgiving!  It was great to be back home in Grapevine for the holiday.  

16 Weeks

How Far Along: 16 Weeks.  

Size of baby: Turnip

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I'm feeling large and in charge these days.  The scale is still packed in the box so +2ish is all I know for sure.

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans so far.  Thankfully I wear scrubs 5 days a week.  :)

Gender: I had a very vivid dream last night that we were at the anatomy scan and then tech told us it was a girl.  Not sure whether to read into that or not.  

Movement: I noticed a few flutters on Monday!

Sleep: Newly developed hip pain which has made sleep difficult.  Any one with ideas about how to make that go away, please let me know.

What I miss: Coffee, Diet Coke

Cravings: Nothing really this week.

Symptoms: New hip pain if I lay on my sides while sleeping (which is ironic considering I can't sleep on my back or stomach).

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Getting through this past weekend was definitely a plus.  Putting our dog Toby down on Sunday night was hands down one of the hardest things I've ever EVER done.  We decided on Monday that we needed some Christmas Cheer in our house so we busted out some of the Christmas decoration (read: tree) and decorated.  I love siting in the living room and looking at the Christmas tree.  I'd keep it up all year round if it were socially acceptable.

15 Weeks

How Far Along: 15 Weeks.  

Size of baby: Avocado

Total Weight Gain/Loss: According to the doctor's scale at my appointment this week, +2.

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans so far.  Thankfully I wear scrubs 5 days a week.  :)

Gender: It'll remain a mystery until December 12th.  No talking the doctor into an earlier anatomy scan.  Oh well.

Movement: Nothing that I can feel yet.  Still a little early.

Sleep: A lot better recently.

What I miss: Coffee, Diet Coke

Cravings: Jello

Symptoms: Sciatic pain struck hard core this week.  On Wednesday by the time work was over it was to the point that I couldn't sit, stand, or walk without crying.

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Doctor's appointment this past Wednesday went great!  Heart rate was around 165.  She didn't have a hard time finding it, but our little one kept moving around so she had to go on the hunt many times to relocate it. 

14 Weeks

How Far Along: 14 Weeks.  I "popped" this week.  Thankfully.  I was tired of looking like I had one-to-many doughnuts.

Size of baby: Navel Orange

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I don't know.  We moved last week and the scale is still in a box somewhere.  Maybe it'll just stay there....

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans so far.  Thankfully I wear scrubs 5 days a week.  :)

Gender: I've been having a lot of dreams about it being a girl.  I go back to the doctor on Wednesday and will schedule the gender reveal appointment!  I'm hoping she'll let me have it at 18 weeks.

Movement: Nothing that I can feel yet.  Still a little early.

Sleep: A lot better recently.

What I miss: Coffee

Cravings: Bread-and-butter pickles have a new allure to me this week.

Symptoms: Fatigue, occasional lower back pain- easily resolved though. 

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: Moving into our new house!  

13 Weeks!

**No picture this week.....there's no bump to show....yet.**

How Far Along: 13 Weeks

Size of baby: Peach

Total Weight Gain/Loss: still down 3lbs

Maternity Clothes: Just jeans so far.  Thankfully I wear scrubs 5 days a week.  :)

Gender: No clue.  We won't find out until 20 weeks....or if I sweet talk an ultrasound tech at the hospital to scan me early. 

Movement: Nothing that I can feel yet.  Still a little early.

Sleep: Hello insomnia.  Luckily Netflix added new episodes of my favorite insomnia cure: "How It Works".  Waking up at 12:45; 3:15; and then 6:00 just because is getting old.

What I miss: Coffee

Cravings: Slurpee's.  Weird, I don't think I've had one of those (before this week) since I was a kid.

Symptoms: Fatigue, occasional lower back pain- easily resolved though. 

Best Moment/Most Interesting Moment this week: I would say surviving my first ER trip being pregnant.  Apparently dehydration and exhaustion can really sneak up on you quick.  Who would have thought....
