Weekly Bump Update: Week 17

How far along: 17 WEEKS!!!

Baby size: Baby P is the size of an onion!

Weight gain: 5-6ish lbs, I think

Maternity clothes: I've bought 1 shirt and wore it last weekend and it was super comfy. I bought another pair of the black skinny pants that I bought in Pigeon Forge so I can wear those 2 pairs to work. Love them!

Stretch marks: Nope!

Sleep: Still off and on, but it's getting better, I think. Some nights, at least.

Gender: I'll let you know in 2 days!

Movement: YES!!! I finally felt some movement on Friday at work right around my belly button. It was the neatest feeling ever!!! Felt it quite a bit on Saturday too because I was pretty lazy and laid around most of the day. Love that feeling!

Best moment this week: All the sweet comments I got on the the bump picture I posted on Instagram and Facebook! I love how excited our friends and family are for us! And loved the guesses of what Baby P is. Lots more girl guesses than boy. haha! I think it will be the shock of the century if this baby is a Boy! But I don't mind, I just want a healthy baby!

Looking forward to: Our gender reveal party with our families in TWO DAYS!!!!!! And of course, finally getting to know what our little one is!

Food cravings: No cravings really. Just kind of eat my normal every day foods.

Weirdest food I ate this week: I don't think I ate anything too weird. I've gotten back to having oatmeal for breakfast, carrots and hummus, apples, grapes as snacks and homemade soup or sandwiches for lunch. And tacos, spaghetti, cereal for dinner. Pretty normal for me! :)

Anything making you queasy/sick?  Not really. I've been feeling pretty good lately. As long as I've eaten within the last 2 hours or so. ha!

Labor signs: Definitely not!

What I miss: Sushi!!!! Ty had sushi for lunch one day and I wanted it so bad. I know I can have fried rolls and veggie rolls, but that's not what I want. I want the yummy, fresh, raw kind! ha!

Symptoms: Just sleepy in the afternoons, but not so bad that I feel like I need to go home and take a nap. I'm pretty good about getting to bed around 10 or 10:30 lately.

Nursery: Still just know what room it'll be.

Belly button in or out: In!

Mood: Really great!! This stage of pregnancy has been so nice.

Workouts: Walk/Ran and did weights on Monday, then Body Pump on Tuesday, Zumba on Wednesday and back to Body Pump on Thursday! Love my workout schedule!

Things that suck: Having to wait 2 more days to find out if we're having a boy or a girl!! I am DYING to know!!!!!!!!

Things that don't suck: Finding out in TWO DAYS what this little baby is and having a little gender reveal party!

Weekly Bump Update: Week 16

How far along: 16 WEEKS!!!

Baby size: Baby P is the size of an avocado

Weight gain: 5 lbs

Maternity clothes: Still wearing my one pair of maternity black pants to work often and I busted out a pair of maternity jeans saturday, but they are the full panel kind and were a little baggy. haha! Maybe they'll shrink a little after I was them or most likely, I'll grow into them.

Stretch marks: Nope!

Sleep: Still off and on. I only fell asleep on the couch maybe once this week, so it was better.

Gender: We find out in 9 days!!!!

Movement: Nope. Still nothing.... :(

Best moment this week: Getting to meet my best friend's little boy, Mr. Parker Stansfield. He is absolutely precious and has made me even more excited to be having a baby!!

Looking forward to: Finding out what this little one is!!!!! 9 more days!!!!!!

Food cravings: Hmmm...I guess I'm still really enjoying the cheese puffcorn! ha! Oh, and I guess you could say pizza because it sounds good pretty much every day, but I only had it once this week. Or twice if you count the one slice Saturday night. :)

Weirdest food I ate this week: Can't really think of anything weird...really. I'm pretty normal when it comes to my food choices.

Anything making you queasy/sick?  If I don't eat pretty much as soon as I get to work or I wait too long in between eating, I'll get sick to my stomach.

Labor signs: Nope!

What I miss: Putting on pants that can be buttoned! haha! It's getting harder and harder every week.

Symptoms: Ummm...I don't really have any right about now. I've been feeling pretty good this week!

Nursery: Well, we know what room it's going to be!

Belly button in or out: In!

Mood: Wonderful!!! I'm enjoying this stage of pregnancy right now.

Workouts: Walk/Ran and did weights on Monday, then Body Pump on Tuesday and Thursday!

Things that suck: I'm going to go with running out of pants that can button again! ha! I wish I could wear leggings to work. That would be fabulous!

Things that don't suck: Getting to call this little one he or she in 9 DAYS!!!!!

More pics from week 16:

Meeting Parker when he was only 24 hours old!! Such a cutie!!! I wanted to take him home!

My friend, Emily, from high school's little girl, Sydney got to meet Parker too! She is such a doll! 

My friend, Allie asked for a bump pic, so this is what I sent her!! She liked my facial expression!

Oh, just visiting with Parker again on Saturday night. We had to take a "selfie", of course. ;)

Those are some cute boys in this picture! :) 

Contemplating whether he wanted to stay awake or give in to the milk coma. :)

He decided to give in. :)

Weekly Bump Update: Week 15

How far along: 15 WEEKS!!!

Baby size: Baby P is the size of a naval orange

Weight gain: 4ish lbs still

Maternity clothes: Still wearing my one pair of maternity black pants to work often and I busted out a pair of maternity jeans saturday, but they are the full panel kind and were a little baggy. haha! Maybe they'll shrink a little after I wash them or most likely, I'll grow into them.

Stretch marks: Nope!

Sleep: Well I'm pretty much asleep on the couch by 9:15 every night and stay there for a few hours, so once I lay in the bed it takes a while to fall back asleep. Need to stop that. It's not very often that I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore...oh well.

Gender: We'll know in 2 1/2 weeks!!!

Movement: Still nothing. But hopefully soon!!!!!

Best moment this week: Ummm...not sure if I can think of just one moment. It's just been a good week. I'm feeling good! I worked out a couple of times. I'm starting to eat normal again. Just have been lots of good moments this week! 

Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move!! And finding out what it is!!

Food cravings: I made homemade fried rice this week after seeing a picture of it Thursday on Pinterest, I just HAD to have it. And it did not disappoint!

Weirdest food I ate this week: This probably isn't weird for most, but I had a grilled cheese Friday at lunch. It's just not something I eat very often. I brought soup to work for lunch and a grilled cheese sounded so good to go with it, so that's what I had!

Anything making you queasy/sick? Not really. Still can't drink a full cup of coffee. Even a Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks, I couldn't finish it Saturday. So strange. :)

Labor signs: Nope!

What I miss: Still just miss sleeping well...

Symptoms: Nothing really right now. I'm feeling back to normal for the most part...minus this growing belly!

Nursery: Well, we know what room it's going to be!

Belly button in or out: In!

Mood: Wonderful!!! I'm enjoying this stage of pregnancy right now.

Workouts: Yes! I got in 3 workouts this week!! Yay!

Things that suck: It doesn't really suck, but just kind of annoying being between the stage of not quite big enough for maternity pants, but my normal pants just aren't as comfy as they use to be!

Things that don't suck: Knowing that as long as the little one cooperates, we'll know on November 26th what he or she is!!! :)

Weekly Bump Update: Week 14

How far along: 14 WEEKS!!!

Baby size: Baby P is the size of a lemon

Weight gain: 4 lbs

Maternity clothes: Still have only worn 1 pair of my maternity pants. Using the rubberband trick most days too

Stretch marks: No, thank goodness! And hopefully they stay away for a while!

Sleep: Eh. It's been so-so. Some nights are good, some nights I feel like I'm waking up about 14 times

Gender: We find out in 3 1/2 weeks! Eeek!!! Can't wait! For some reason, I'm leaning towards Boy...not sure why though. Ty definitely still thinks girl!

Movement: Nothing yet. All my apps say it's moving around like crazy in there, I just can't feel it yet.

Best moment this week: I thought it was pretty fun on Saturday when I went to Maddie's 16th birthday party and I actually looked like I had a baby bump! haha! I really want one.

Looking forward to: Feeling Baby P moving!! I can't wait! and of course, finding out if Baby P is a He or a She!

Food cravings: I'm not sure if I would call them cravings, but I have been wanting cottage cheese and chicken salad, so I got both at the grocery this week!

Weirdest food I ate this week: Pimento Cheese sandwich on Friday that my friend, Gaye brought to work. I've tried Pimento Cheese before and I hated it! But she had some homemade kind and OMG, it was delicous!

Anything making you queasy/sick?  Not really. Still not drinking coffee though...I want to, but it just doesn't sound good, so I pass.

Labor signs: Negative! And I'd like to keep it that way!

What I miss: Good sleep!! I guess I'm just getting prepared for baby, huh?

Symptoms: Sore boobs, random pain in my lower belly ocassionally, and headaches every now and then

Nursery: Still only know what room...but I have some ideas in my head. Haven't discussed with Ty yet. :)

Belly button in or out: In!

Mood: Great!!! Pregnancy is much more enjoyable now that I'm not nauseous 24/7.

Workouts: Yes! I got in 4 workouts this week!! Yay! Running/Walking, 2 days of Body Pump, and Zumba. Love that I'm back into it! I really hope to keep it up too!

Things that suck: I wouldn't say it "sucks", but I'm just in the "is she fat?" stage and not so much, "oh look at her baby bump" stage! ha! I'm ready for a bump, not just a pudgy belly.

Things that don't suck: Only 3 1/2 more weeks until we find out what this little peanut is!! Cannot wait!

And a few more pics from Week 14:
