Week 17-Baby #2

BabySperry2_11_16_2014_164.NEF

My little Monkey came and got in my picture this week. Cheesing for the camera. Ignore his lovely marks on his face. There is a story behind them.

How far along? 17 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 6.5 lbs. (according to home scale)
Maternity clothes? Still no here. I have been living in leggings and yoga pants. It has been so cold here all weekend, that I wanted to be comfortable and warm.
Stretch marks? No-Thank goodness and applying lotion like it is going out of style.
Sleep: This week was much better. I even had my first full night of sleep without waking to pee. Yay!! I was so excited and woke feeling amazing. It was only one night but still! 
Best moment this week: Getting to feel more movement. If I hold very still I occasionally can feel flutters or bumps. Loving them. 
Miss Anything? I am dying for a glass of wine or spiked hot chocolate. With the weather changing I want to put on a fire and grab a large glass of red wine. I told Michael he needed to have a glass so I could smell it. Maybe get a little contact wine high.  
Movement: More and More. It is so exciting to feel movement.
Food cravings: Mexican. Lots of chips and salsa and cheese dip.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I think it is safe to say I am completely over the sickness part of this pregnancy.
Feelings: I am feeling excited but nervous. When I was pregnant with Mason, I was just so happy to be pregnant I never thought about anything bad happening. This time I am worried constantly. I think it is from having friends who have had complicated pregnancies that I realize your happy bubble can pop so fast. Hopefully I will feel better after the 20 week ultrasound, when they tell me everything is great.    
Gender: Not finding out. Yay for surprises!
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: My emotions are completely in check now. 
Looking forward to: Next week we are having the big Anatomy Scan Ultrasound!!!! I cannot wait to see my little Mr. or Miss. on camera. I am also looking forward to more movement and some that Mason can feel. He lays his head on my belly and talks to his baby. I ask him if she/he is talking back and he says yes. Maybe it is! :-)

About Us

My photo
Michael and I have been together since 2006. We met in college at the University of Arkansas and began our life together. We bought a house and moved to Fayetteville from the Chicagoland area in November 2009. We were married in 2010 and had our first child, a boy, in 2013. Our favorite thing to do together is travel and we have gotten the opportunity to go to lots of fun places. We are working, breathing, playful parents. Our fur baby and child are the center of our crazy life, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
