17 Weeks!

How far along: 17 weeks as of October 11, 2015!

Total weight gain/loss: At my doctors appointment last week I was up 6lbs. So total weight is 121!

Maternity clothes: I officially cannot fit into any of my pants so I have been sticking to leggings!  Luckily for work I mainly wear dresses and skirts so I have been lucky and able to fit in most of those since they stretch. 

Sleep: It's getting better but I still toss and turn a lot to get comfortable. 

Best moment this week: Having another appointment and being able to hear her sweet heartbeat! Also being able to call her by her name and a her. Also being able to feel her little kicks is really exciting and crazy! I can't wait until they become stronger! 

Food cravings: Chick-fil-a, steak, sausage & eggs. I guess I want protein! haha

Food aversions: Peppers

Gender: Baby Girl! 

Labor signs: Nope! 

Pregnancy symptoms: Feeling pretty good this week! Still having a growing belly and my belly button is starting to poke out. I'm really self conscious about it. 

What I miss: Sushi!

What I am looking forward to: My 20 week appointment. I am just so nervous about his process and I feel like once I finally have that big scan and make sure she's growing how she should be and that everything is okay, I'll be able to relax a little.

Milestones: I am only three weeks away from the half way mark and that blows my mind! I am loving every minute of the second trimester! 

One tip I could give a first time mom who is also 17 weeks along: Take time everyday to touch your belly and enjoy being pregnant.
