17 Weeks pregnant with Baby #2
How Far Along: 17 Weeks
Gender: Team Green, and that is not going to change. Even more girl feelings this week.
Weight: + 9 lbs
Craving: Soup, but that could just be my cold or the rainy weather here. Sushi sounds excellent too.
Aversions: Still no to the leftovers.
Symptoms: Moody (anger/frustration and sadness are big moods for me this week), munchies, round ligament pain, lower back pain, and still battling morning sickness!
Sleep: I am sleeping well enough but the midnight potty trips continue. Sleeping on my side again is becoming increasingly easier.
Missing: Vacation, SCUBA diving, having a waist
Exercise: Ice skating, hiking/climbing (see below), yoga, and running through airports with a toddler.
Clothes: The bump is too big for all of my pants and shorts but not big enough to hold up my full panel shorts or pants. Doing the pull up/hold up dance most of the time for comforts sake but now and again I wear my regular bottoms low and cram into them. The bump can no longer be hidden. It shows itself no matter what I am wearing. Kind of exciting, kind of sad. I stole Paddy’s rash guard after getting sunburned on vacation, I may adopt it into my work wardrobe too.
Toddler: Oblivious to the sea monkey inside me. She continues to treat my growing bump as a personal trampoline but at other times snuggles up to it in the sweetest way that cannot seem to get a good picture of EVER.
Highlight of the Week: Hiking the Kasikunda Climbing Trail at Washington Slagbaai National Park in Bonaire. Between the view and the rush of endorphins providing a feeling of accomplishment, it was easily the highlight of my time on Bonaire.
Looking Forward to: the anatomy scan at the end of the month and getting to see sea monkey again. I am currently working on planning some AT hiking for the 4th of July weekend which should be fun.
