17 Weeks - Baby #2

Time for a baby update!

 

How far along?
  17 weeks

Total weight gain: 

About 3 I think.

Maternity clothes? 

Yes! I am wearing leggings or maternity jeans (still too big, but better than tight jeans!) when I leave the house, yoga pants at home.

I can still fit into most of my normal shirts.

Sleep:  

Ahhh...wonderful sleep! Kyla is sleeping great at night most of the time, so I get to "sleep in" til 9 or so.  I like that!  Matt bought me a huge pregnancy pillow so that has made sleep so comfy.  I am getting up once a night to pee usually.

Best moment this week:

On Sunday, one of the elders announced to the congregation that we have 4 expecting moms.  One of the best parts of pregnancy, in my opinion, is having friends that are going through it with you. 

Miss Anything?

Nothing!

Movement: 

I have felt a few bubbles, but at this stage, it could very well be gas.

 
Food cravings: 

I love fruit.  And Coke.

 
Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Not really anymore.

 
Gender: 

On December 29, we had a check up with the doctor.  He did a quick ultrasound to check on the health of my ovary. Of course I couldn't not ask if he was able to spot the gender even though I was only 15 weeks along at that point.  He said it was pretty clear that it was a BOY!  We will re-verify that on February 2 at the anatomy scan.  We are so excited though!! Can't believe we are lucky enough to get our girl and our boy.

Symptoms:  

Currently, I have virtually no symptoms.  It's really weird to me because I felt so horrible the first trimester.  Now, I rarely feel nauseous and I have plenty of energy most of the time.  I am really enjoying this in-between stage before my belly gets out of control.

Approximate countdown:
23 more weeks!

I am so bad about updating and taking pictures this pregnancy!  Here is a pic from 15 weeks!  I feel like I've popped out a bit more since then so hopefully I can get a new picture soon.
