Baby #2 --17 Weeks


I will try to blog a bit about this pregnancy. I am keeping a shutterfly book that I update weekly for this pregnancy.  This pregnancy is SO different. I don't know if I was more sick because I didn't get to rest whenever I had free time because of having Mr. Micah or I was just more sick. Before I found out I was pregnant I was so tired but I figured it was because Micah had just started moving around. My energy has returned which is nice, but I still get tired easily. I am lucky Micah is such a good boy.  This pregnancy is also different because I am smaller in size, which I attribute to why I am showing less then what I was with Micah. It will be fun to see how similar and different these pregnancies will be.

How Far Along: 17 Weeks
How Big is Baby: Size of a turnip / Toilet paper roll
Stretch Marks:  Nothing new. My few marks from Micah had started to fade some too. I am curious if I will get more or if the ones I have will just deepen and stretch.
Weight gain/loss: Back up to my weight where I was when I found out I was pregnant (10lbs less then when I found out I was pregnant with Micah). Morning sickness the past few months had me lose 6lbs.
Maternity clothes:  Early on I dislike pressure on my tummy so I start wearing pants early. I like to full band pants too. I was biggest in winter with Micah and this time I will be biggest in summer, so  I will need to get some more summer items.
Best moment this week:  Showing a bit more. I look forward to that big belly.
Movement:  I have felt baby a few times.
Miss Anything: My energy.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, carbs are good.
Food Aversions: Chipotle and Chinese
Symptoms: Can feel some ligament stretching. I don't remember feeling the discomfort much with Micah.
Sleep: When I wake up, I find it difficult to go back to sleep. Micah is sick right now so I hear him a lot.
Anything making you queasy or sick: If I don't eat right away in the morning I still will heave.
Gender: Unknown. This time we are not finding out ;)
Looking forward to:  Getting bigger, feeling baby more consistently and stronger, Ultrasound at the end of the month.
