Week 17

January 13-19 2014

How far along: 17 weeks.

Total weight gain: I feel like I have gained weight since my last doctor’s appointment but amount unknown.

Maternity clothes: No. I am wearing leggings everyday (they are just so comfortable) and I can wear my longer shirts or sun dresses over my leggings.

Stretch marks: None.  I am using my belly butter and coconut oil every night.

Sleep: Thank goodness for my snoogle! I usually wake up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.  This week I woke up twice and stayed awake for a couple of hours (I’m sure worrying about work) but surprisingly I was my usual peppy self at work-lucky students.

Best moments this week: People from work are noticing my little “bubble” baby belly.  Not best moment but trying to see if I can feel any flutters/bubbles from our baby but nothing.  This weekend I am going to the California Kindergarten Conference, so I am excited to be a pregnant teacher at the conference.

Miss anything: Going out to eat is challenging.  There are several food items I am to avoid and mix in food that I do not like or does not sound good, items to choose from are slim.

Food cravings: Cravings no, but I love eating celery- the watery crunch is so refreshing.

Anything making you queasy: Luckily no.

Gender: Unknown, we will find out in February.

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: Out but semi in, although at the end of the day, especially after dinner, my belly feels so full and feels like it is stretching.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Happy or moody: Happy.

Looking forward to: My mini teacher vacation at the Kindergarten Conference.
