I'm not sure which of these poses I prefer for these weekly photos. I like my hands at my sides, because I think I look better -- but the hands in front emphasize the belly more. The truth is, I don't know if I like the emphasized belly. I'm still not used to seeing myself SO big.
How far along? 17 weeks
How I am feeling? Relieved to be home. As I'm unpacking from the summer of travel, I am finding myself thinking about how our house is going to change, and different re-arrangements that will be made.
Weight gain/loss: Weight gain... about 5 lbs, according to our Rifle scale, from the last time I weighed myself in Rifle. We'll see what the doctor says this week.
How big is baby? The size of an onion or turnip.
Sleep: Much better now that I'm in my own bed with my hubby -- but still getting up several times a night.
Boy/Girl Prediction: I think a boy.
Baby Nicknames: Nugget, or Baby
Best moment this week: Coming home to see my hubby and seeing how excited he was to see how my belly has grown. :-D
Food cravings: Club soda... not so much a craving, but just tasting really good right now.
Maternity Clothes: More and more
Labor Signs: No. Thank goodness!
General Attitude: A little nervous about getting back to work this week. I'm nervous about what to wear -- for work, I dress nicely and wear skirts every day, but I don't have enough maternity skirts -- or clothes for that matter to look nice every day. I'm just nervous to see people I haven't seen in a few months.
What I am looking forward to this week: I have two doctors appointments this week. One with the nurse for an "intake" -- and one with the doctor on Friday. Hubby and I are really excited for the Friday appointment because it will be our first appointment since 8 weeks. We haven't had any HINT of complication with this pregnancy, but we are REALLY ready to hear the baby's heartbeat again, and hear from the doctor that everything looks great.
Milestones: We announced that we are expecting to our church family here in Rifle.
Oh so exciting!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of not being sure what to think of the growing belly... When I look in the mirror I always notice that I suck my tummy in as much as possible. But when I release it, it's really huge already! Haha :)
