17 weeks

I'm totally being one of *those* pregnant women and want to document everything I possibly can about this pregnancy. Sorrynotsorry.

17 weeks

Due Date: June 25, 2016

Gender: We know what we're having, but we're not telling "the world" until we're positive that all of our friends and family have been informed by us personally.

Movement: I'm trying so hard to "try" to feel something moving inside me, but nothing yet. The last two nights I've woken up in the middle of the night and swore I could feel something down there but pretty sure it was my mind. Ha. I can't wait to FEEL that babe inside of me!

Feeling: More excited than ever, now that we know the babies gender! and just happy in general.

Food Cravings: I still haven't experienced the "I need to have it and I need to have it NOW" feeling but I have been REALLY wanting a gelata from Zeppes. Even if it is 20 degrees outside a cold gelata just sounds amazing to me!! Like, is that too much to ask??

Food Aversions: The thought of sushi just makes me want to hurl- also tortilla chips gross me out lately. it's so weird.

Clothes: I'm in all regular clothes, although they're definitely fitting more and more snug each day. I've noticed I've been using the next hole on my belt which is crazy to think In a few a months that belt won't fit at all.

Stretch Marks: Still too early for that pretty sure. I'm lathering on cocoa butter and coconut oil each night to keep nice and moisturized

Sleep: I had a rough time sleeping this week because I've been trying to get used to not sleeping on my stomach or back. Yeah I totally hate it so I just decided I will sleep on my tummy from now on and enjoy it until I absolutely can't anymore.

Symptoms: None that I can think of! I have been so dang lucky.

What I Miss: Sunny side up eggs and raw cookie dough. (which I never really loved pre pregnancy-but now that I can't have it I just want it so bad!)

Best Moment: Finding out the gender of our babe! Also on Saturday night we did a little shopping and picked out some way cute stuff for baby. It was fun to see Nate actually excited about clothes for once. ;)

the bump is really wanting to poke through and I want it to as well. I'm sick of this awkward thickening stage.

our biggest adventure yet.

Well the word is officially out: WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! I still can't believe it-it seems too good to be true.
We were a little shocked at the timing but honestly how could we be anything other than ecstatic?? Pregnancy has treated me so well, I almost feel a little guilty. (especially when soo many people share their horror stories with me) The first trimester seriously FLEW but oh my heck it was SO HARD to keep a secret for that long. That was the worst part. HA. At 10 weeks I was able to hear the little heartbeat and actually SEE The baby inside of me. Holy cow that has got to be the BEST/strangest/neatest thing I have ever seen. I just couldn't stop smiling- I honestly felt on top of the world. Last week Nate got to see it and hear it and that was just as fun to me. I can't wait to meet our babe.
