Week 17 was Spring Break and our baby is the size of an onion!  I really enjoyed myself this week, getting to go to lunch with a few of my friends and even with Dusty (which I never get to do) and getting caught up on a few things around the house.  I feel like this week should be titled “Oh Yes!!! I’m finally starting to look a little pregnant!!!”

Total Weight Gain: I’m not quite sure how much weight I’ve gained but if I were to guess, I’m back to my original weight plus a pound or two (depending on the day or time of day I weighed myself).  I promise I’m not a fanatic about my weight.  In fact, I don’t weigh myself every day and most weeks just once so I can add something to the blog post.  The next time I visit the doctor I’m going to take note of my weight and then weigh myself at home so I can keep better track.  I am interested in tracking when all this weight gain will happen.

Gender: Still very excited to find out what we’re having.  Just three more weeks! I told Dusty he better free up some time after our doctor’s appointment because I want to find just one cute outfit after we find out if we’re having a boy or girl.  I haven’t bought anything for this little bambino and I’m itching to find something super cute I can hang in the closet or put in a drawer.

Sleep: I’m sleeping relatively well.  The only times I have a hard time sleeping are those days that I have a lot on my mind, almost always related to work and not getting everything done I needed.  I’m sure these sleepless nights will be filled with baby thoughts in the future but right now it’s all about work.  I’m getting use to waking up once during the night to go to the bathroom but otherwise, I’m getting a good 7 to 8 hours of sleep.

Clothing: This week I’m really starting to notice that my clothes are no longer fitting and I’m going to be needing maternity clothes soon.  I’m lucky enough that I have some work pants that were a little on the large size so I’m able to wear those but they’re feeling really snug.  I’m also taking advantage of the many dresses I own.  I haven’t bought any maternity clothes but I did purchase three maxi dresses, like the one chosen in this week’s update that will stretch as my baby bump grows.

Best moment this week: The best moment this week was having the week off.  I spent most of the week relaxing, catching up with friends and accomplishing a whole lot of nothing.

Sorry this post is coming a little late, I’m trying to catch up but life has been busy.
