17 weeks, forgot to post at 16 weeks

I completely blanked on writing a post while I was 16 weeks. In my defense, Jesse and I were in Bemidji, visiting my little sister so I  didn't really have much time to sit down and post.


How far along? 17 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss: I've been able to gain back most of my lost weight so I'm only down 3 lbs now. 

Maternity Clothes? Still wearing my regular pants and shirts but maternity jeans are getting really comfy :)

Symptoms: Just a little bit of back pain at night and when I wake up. I'm trying to get better about sleeping on my side but I end up turning onto my back in my sleep. Also I am producing colostrum and it started coming out at 16 weeks.

Best moment this week: Just enjoying being pregnant with no morning sickness, food aversions, etc. It's so nice to spend quality time with Jesse before the baby comes and just enjoy each other.

Food Cravings? I have realized that I crave whatever I ate the day before. It's odd to me and also inconvenient when I ate out and didn't have left overs.

Gender? I really go back and forth on the gender but currently thinking it's a girl. A lot of my family is guessing it's a boy so we will see in a couple weeks what I have inside of me! 

Belly button in or out? Still in. It starts to hurt and stretch when I've eaten a lot.

Stretch Marks? No

Movement? Once in a while I feel a little flutter but it's always so faint and quick that if I'm not paying attention I miss it.  

What Im looking forward to: I can't wait to find out what we are having and feel the baby move more.

Milestones: Our baby is busy learning to suck and swallow as well as forming fingernails and toenails. The baby is growing hair on their head and face. 

Baby Size: Our baby is the size of an onion.
