How far along: 17
Gender: Still no positive
guess, but everyone refers to baby as “he”
Weight gained: 7.6 lbs
Inches gained: About 5 around
biggest part of belly
Working Out: Not great on these this week. I worked 10 hours on Wednesday and then
packed for ATL/Knoxville. I worked 6.5 hours and then drove 6 hours to
Knoxville on Thursday. On Friday I got a
long walk in before leaving for ATL (Yay!). On Saturday I walked about 2 miles
with my friend in ATL (Yay again!!). On Sunday I was exhausted and we came home
from ATL, I napped for 2 hours! On Monday, I worked like a show horse and
crafted ALL DAY for baby (as well as drove 45 min each direction to my friend’s
house where I crafted). On Tuesday, I drove 6 hours again to get back home and
worked 6 hours…as you can see, there wasn’t really much time set aside for
work outs!
Clothing Choices: Maternity jeans and tights needed! Baby grew
this past week for sure! I also disguised
my bump some while on a friend’s bachelorette trip by wearing a peplum top on
our night out! Yes, I felt clever ;)
Stretch marks: Only those from soccer years ago on the
thighs.
Belly button: Inny
Sleep: Sleeping at dad’s house was fine because I
brought my big “bean” pillow (Lechco maternity pillow), but in Atlanta for the
bachelorette trip, I didn’t sleep well. I had two pillows as well as a mini
pillow, but that just didn't cut it!
Best moment this week:
Getting to feel baby move for the first time!!! It was amazing!
Dad made a salad on Friday (March 21st) for lunch, and afterward I
kept feeling baby moving, it felt like it was pushing ever so slightly near the
pelvis area! I felt it again later that night when I was with all the girls in
Atlanta, and then again at least once every day since! It’s magical!!!
Hardest moment this
week: Being away from Neal Thursday – Monday, that was just tough, especially when
I wanted him to see how excited I was for feeling baby move.
What I’m missing: I thought I wanted
beer or wine, but while I was at the bachelorette trip, I honestly didn't feel the desire for it anymore. So I’m not
missing much!
Movement: YES!!!! (see above!)
Cravings: Nothing too major, just enjoying
apples and cheese still, but I’m not craving it as much as I just enjoy it.
Queasy or sick: Feeling good!
Looking forward to: Finding out
gender. I made a baby mobile with one of
my best friends, Hope, this week, and I can’t wait to find out the gender and
decorate the rest of the nursery!
